WinSingad analyses sound information from input devices such as a microphone connected to your computer and presents a variety of views onto the resulting data (frequency, spectrogram, spectrum etc). Recorded sessions can be saved to standard wave files and reloaded at a later date for further analysis.
The product has evolved over several years incorporating analysis techniques from a series of projects and has most recently been used to assess the viability of using such technology in the context of professional singing lessons.
More background information can be viewed at the University of York pages about the 'Singing Assessment and Development (SINGAD)' research projects.
The 'Freeware' version of the WinSingad application can be obtained by contacting Prof David Howard.
The application has a series of built in help pages to aid with its use, and we hope that the interface is reasonably intuitive.
Please let us know if you have any comments. No support is provided with this FreeWare version, but we can offer advice and the opportunity to purchase the full version at a reasonable cost.
This version has been extensively tested using a variety of equipment. In taking advantage of this download, you take full responsibility for the implementation and use of the application and Sarand can accept no responsibility for any issues that might result.

| The 2004 Faraday lectures are presented by young engineers, and are designed as an interactive presentation for students aged 14-16. Music unites people around the world, with technology at the centre of this universal language. The IEE's 2004 Faraday lecture was 'SoundFX' hosted by York University, and demonstrated the link between music and technology. |
| The WinSingad application was used to demonstrate the way that sound waves are interpreted, analysed and recorded using a variety of computing techniques. The practical demonstrations were carried out with the help of a four-piece band, state-of-the-art recording equipment and an audience of extremely enthusiastic young students. |
