Frequency v0.1.0
Why the version reset? This project started as a fork of Pulse Music Player. After porting the entire codebase
from Java to Kotlin and building so much new stuff on top, it's effectively a different app now — so we're
starting fresh at 0.1.0 instead of continuing the old 5.0.3 line.
A major feature release: the Frequency tab grew into a proper monophonic synth, the music side picked up
multi-select and a dedicated player tab, and the app got a new icon.
New — Frequency tab (synth)
- Multi-noise mix — White / Pink / Brown as independent toggles, mixable in any combination
- Isochronic tones — gate any tone or noise at 0.5–40 Hz with hard square or smooth sine pulses
- Low-pass filter — state-variable filter with log-scale cutoff (20 Hz – 20 kHz) and resonance (0–99%)
- ADSR envelope — replaces the fixed 100 ms fade with full attack/decay/sustain/release control
- Independent volume slider — decoupled from system music volume, persisted
- Live oscilloscope — visualizer now shows the actual audio coming out of the engine (with auto-gain) instead of a
schematic of the selected waveform - Tap-to-toggle waveform — tap Sine/Square/Triangle/Sawtooth to enable the tone; tap the selected one again to
silence it. Default is no tone selected so noise/iso/etc. work standalone.
New — Music player
- Sound tab — first item in the bottom nav, opens the full now-playing screen. Press Play with no track loaded and
shuffle on for a random track from your library. - Hide mini-player — toggle in Settings → Playback
- Multi-select tracks — long-press in Library or any playlist to select multiple. Contextual top bar gives you Add
to playlist and Delete (with options to hide-from-library or delete-from-device). - Audio output picker — Settings → Playback → Audio output. Default routing unchanged unless you explicitly pick an
output. Applies to both music and the Frequency tab.
New — Playlists
- Categories — assign custom categories via ⋮ → "Move to category…". Playlists tab groups them under collapsible
- Row density slider extended down to "Tiny" (~28dp rows) and up to "Spacious"
- Thumbnail can be hidden entirely for ultra-dense lists
- Grid default columns 2 → 3; slider now goes up to 6
Improved — UI
- "Signal Lab" renamed to "Frequency" throughout
- New app icon (square + adaptive)
- Frequency tab properly scrolls so the Play button is always reachable above the floating nav bar
Fixed
- Audio output preference persists; Frequency tab live-routes when you pick a new device
- Pressing a mode (Normal/Binaural/Mix/Sweep) automatically enables the tone — no silent surprise
