SignalScope X 13 is out. STI/STIPA measurement is finally here — one of the most-requested features. Plus perpetual licensing, a rebuilt UI, and more. Here's what's new 🧵

[Faber Acoustical @faberast]

Big licensing news: perpetual licenses are now available inside SignalScope X for the first time. Buy once, use indefinitely — no separate app needed.
If you've bought a 2020 or 2022 version of SignalScope, Faber Accounts let you easily qualify for upgrade pricing.

Also, SignalScope was the app to win the Apple Design Award in 2003. A major upgrade to SignalScope is coming soon. Stay tuned...

I will have to admit to feeling a little nostalgic, today, with Apple turning 50—and not just because it means my own 50th birthday is coming right up. From the time I learned some very simple coding on an Apple II in elementary school—to winning a (Student) Apple Design Award in 2003, publishing 2 apps in the iPhone App Store on its opening day in 2008 (SignalScope and SignalSuite), and now developing software tools and media for Apple’s newest hardware platforms—my relationship with Apple, and Apple technology, has been a significant part of my life both personally and professionally.
I can’t say that I am quite the passionate Apple fan that I was as a younger man, but Apple platforms are still (arguably) the best available and I remain committed to my personal and professional investments in them.
Here’s to a bright future for Apple and its independent developers.

Apple celebrates 50th birthday

Today, April 1, 2026, Apple celebrates its 50th birthday!

Apple was founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne on April 1, 1976 to develop and sell the Woz-designed Apple I personal computer, which was quickly followed by the release of the groundbreaking Apple II in June 1977.

I just measured the frequency response and directivity of the new iPhone 17 Pro’s main microphone and I’m a little surprised and even puzzled by the results. I expect to comment more on this in the near future (with more graphs, of course).

@Virelords IOScope only runs on iOS 12 or earlier. If you have an older device running iOS 12, you can still run IOScope, there. The Dual FFT Analyzer tool in SignalScope X is the recommended replacement on the latest iOS.
