TactiBeat Help
Use this guide to import audio, analyze rhythm, tune haptic pulses, and understand what tactile playback can and cannot represent.
Getting started
- Choose a demo track or import an audio/video file.
- Tap analyze to generate waveform and haptic cues.
- Play the result and adjust intensity, sensitivity, density, style, or timing offset if needed.
Why do I feel separate pulses instead of constant vibration?
- TactiBeat is designed around rhythm-first pulses. Clear gaps make beats easier to read through touch.
- Dense audio may be simplified so the tactile pattern does not collapse into a continuous buzz.
What music works best?
- Tracks with percussion, strong downbeats, rests, and clear energy changes usually feel best.
- Ambient pads, vocals-only material, or very dense mixes may produce less distinct tactile rhythm.
Can it represent pitch or lyrics?
- No. Phone vibration cannot faithfully encode lyrics, melody, pitch, or timbre. The app focuses on rhythm, pulse, and energy changes.
Troubleshooting
- If pulses feel too dense, lower density or sensitivity.
- If pulses feel too weak, raise intensity or try a sharper haptic style.
- If timing feels offset, adjust timing offset until the pulse aligns with the sound.
