Instruction on how to install Harmonicity Meter on Windows 10 Windows 11 PC & Laptop

In this post, I am going to show you how to install Harmonicity Meter on Windows PC by using Android App Player such as BlueStacks, LDPlayer, Nox, KOPlayer, ...

Before you start, you will need to download the APK/XAPK installer file, you can find download button on top of this page. Save it to easy-to-find location.

[Note] You can also download older versions of this app on bottom of this page.

Below you will find a detailed step-by-step guide, but I want to give you a fast overview of how it works. All you need is an emulator that will emulate an Android device on your Windows PC and then you can install applications and use it - you see you're playing it on Android, but this runs not on a smartphone or tablet, it runs on a PC.

If this doesn't work on your PC, or you cannot install, comment here and we will help you!

  1. Install using BlueStacks
  2. Install using NoxPlayer

Step By Step Guide To Install Harmonicity Meter using BlueStacks

  1. Download and Install BlueStacks at: https://www.bluestacks.com. The installation procedure is quite simple. After successful installation, open the Bluestacks emulator. It may take some time to load the Bluestacks app initially. Once it is opened, you should be able to see the Home screen of Bluestacks.
  2. Open the APK/XAPK file: Double-click the APK/XAPK file to launch BlueStacks and install the application.

Measure the Harmonic to Noise Ratio (Harmonicity) from your microphone.

Harmonicity is a measure of the sound energy in the harmonics relative to the rest of the spectrum.
Harmocity varies with age, gender & which vowel you pronounce. Higher harmonicity values indicate a purer sound. Whilst lower jitter and shimmer values indicate a purer sound.

This meter is supposed to be used with a continuous consistent sound, e.g. Pronoucing a vowel, or a tone from a speaker/instrument. Rapidly changing tone/sound will give nonsensical output.

FOR INDICATION ONLY. Harmonicity will vary depending on how close the source is to the microphone. Microphone sensitivity varies with frequency and from device to device. Even amoungst scientific literature, it is difficult to find consistency in absolute reported values.

Jitter is a measure of the frequency variation of the sound. The relative jitter is shown as a %.

Shimmer is a measure of the amplitude variation of the sound. The relative shimmer is shown as a %.
Autodetects sound – App will only start measuring when a sound is detected.

Averaging - After 0.7s, the app will start averaging the Harmonicity, Jitter, Shimmer and freqency values. This will continue until the sound is stopped at which point the last 0.7s of data is removed from the averaged values.

Musical Note – The current detected frequency is converted into a note based on western 12 tone equal temperament. Use to tune your guitar or other instrument if you wish.

Pause button – Useful if in a noisy environment and measurement doesn't auto stop.

FFT Spectrum – Autoscaling Sound Intensity between 0 and 2 kHz.

Range: 100 Hz to 2 kHz fundamental harmonic frequency detection.


Technical bit:
The fast fourier transform (size 8192) is performed on the last 0.74s of data to produce a frequency spectrum (0 to 5.5 kHz with 1.35Hz resolution). This frequency spectrum is windowed between 100 and 4 kHz with linear fall offs to zero at 50 and 5 kHz. The fundamental frequency is determined from polynomial fitting to peaks. The harmonic energy is determined from the sum of the FFT signal at the harmonic freuquency plus 8 Hz either side. The noise is the sum of the rest of the FFT. The ratio of harmonic to noise energy is the Harmoicity and is displayed in decibels.
