5DO — Frequency Generator Manual

🎵

1. What is the Frequency Generator?

The Frequency Generator is a tool that lets you create sounds at any specific frequency (Hz) you choose. Use it when you need a frequency not available in the library, or when you want to customize binaural beats yourself.

💡

What is frequency (Hz)? Frequency is the number of times a sound vibrates per second, measured in Hertz (Hz). Higher numbers mean higher-pitched sounds, lower numbers mean deeper sounds. For example, 440 Hz is the standard musical note "A".

The 5DO Frequency Generator can produce any sound from 1 Hz to 20,000 Hz and includes advanced features like binaural beats and dual tone mode — all accessible through a simple interface.

2. Screen Layout

The Frequency Generator screen is divided into four main areas:

Top — Oscilloscope: Shows the real-time waveform of the sound being played. You can visually see what your sound looks like.
Mode Buttons: Switch between Single (default), Binaural, and Dual modes.
Frequency / Waveform Panel: Set your target frequency and choose the waveform type (sine, square, etc.).
Harmonics Panel: Add overtones to make the sound richer and fuller.
Output / Gain Panel: Control the volume of the generated sound.
Export / Preset Panel: Save as WAV files or manage your saved presets.

▶️

3. Basic Usage

Just four steps to start hearing your frequency.

Set the Frequency

Use the slider or type a number directly to set your desired frequency (Hz). For example, type 528 to hear 528 Hz.
Choose a Waveform

This determines the "texture" of the sound. If you're new, start with Sine — it's the smoothest and purest sound.
Press ▶ Play

Tap the play button and the sound starts immediately. Watch the oscilloscope come to life with the waveform animation.
Adjust Volume (Gain)

Use the gain slider to control loudness. Always start at a low volume and gradually increase.

Waveform Types

〜 Sine

The purest, smoothest sound. Ideal for meditation, sleep, and relaxation.

⊓ Square

A strong, distinct sound. Often used for chakra activation and energy stimulation.

△ Triangle

Slightly rougher than sine, with a warm, mellow character.

⩘ Sawtooth

The richest in overtones. Used for energy boosting and sound layering.

4. Binaural Mode

Binaural beats work by playing slightly different frequencies in each ear. Your brain perceives the difference between the two as a pulsing beat, which can gently guide your brainwaves into a desired state.

⚠️

You must use headphones or earbuds! Binaural beats require separate audio channels for each ear. They will not work through speakers.

How to use:

Select Binaural Mode

Tap the "Binaural" button in the mode selector.
Set the Base Frequency

Enter your base frequency. For example: 432 Hz.
Set the Gap (Hz)

Set the difference between left and right ears. For example: a 10 Hz gap means the left ear hears 432 Hz and the right ear hears 442 Hz. Your brain entrains to the 10 Hz difference (Alpha wave).

💡

Example: 432 Hz base + 10 Hz gap = Left ear 432 Hz, Right ear 442 Hz → Your brain perceives a 10 Hz beat, guiding it into the Alpha state (relaxation and focus).

Binaural Gap Ranges & Brainwave Effects

Gap Range	Brainwave	Effect
1 – 4 Hz	Delta	Deep sleep, physical recovery
4 – 8 Hz	Theta	Meditation, creativity, subconscious access
8 – 13 Hz	Alpha	Relaxation, light focus, stress relief
13 – 30 Hz	Beta	Active thinking, learning, concentration
30 – 100 Hz	Gamma	Peak focus, cognitive enhancement, problem solving

🔊

5. Dual Tone Mode

Dual Tone mode plays two different frequencies at the same time through both speakers. Unlike binaural mode, both sounds are mixed together in both ears.

How to use:

Select "Dual" from the mode buttons.
Set Tone A to your first frequency. Example: 528 Hz
Set Tone B to your second frequency. Example: 432 Hz

💡

Use case: Layer 528 Hz (DNA repair) with 432 Hz (nature's frequency) to experience two healing effects simultaneously.

🎶

6. Harmonics

Harmonics (overtones) are additional vibrations layered on top of the base frequency. They add multiples of your base frequency (2x, 3x, 4x, etc.) to create a richer, more natural-sounding tone.

This is why real instruments sound fuller than simple electronic beeps — they naturally contain harmonics.

Settings:

Fundamental: Only the base frequency — the cleanest, simplest sound
Mid (x2): Adds the 2nd harmonic (double the base frequency)
High (x4): Adds the 4th harmonic (quadruple the base frequency)
Octave Count: Controls how many layers of overtones are stacked. More layers = richer sound.

💡

Start with Fundamental to hear the pure tone first. Once you're comfortable, experiment with adding harmonics for a deeper, more immersive sound.

🔉

7. Output & Gain

The gain control sets the volume of the generated sound.

Gain Slider: Drag left for quieter, right for louder.
Soft Limiter: Automatically prevents distortion (sound clipping) when the volume is set too high.

⚠️

Always start at low volume. Especially when using headphones, sudden loud sounds can damage your hearing. Increase gradually until you find a comfortable level.

💾

8. WAV Export

Save your current frequency settings as a WAV audio file. The exported file can be played offline or connected to external PEMF devices.

Settings:

Duration (seconds): Set how long the audio file should be.
Fade In / Out: Gradually ramps the sound up at the start and down at the end, preventing abrupt starts and stops.
Include Dual Tone: If dual tone mode is active, both frequencies are included in the exported file.

💡

Use case: Export a 30-minute 528 Hz file and play it offline during sleep or on airplane mode. You can also feed it into a PEMF device like the Quantum Torus X.

9. Presets

Save your favorite frequency settings as presets so you can recall them instantly with a single tap.

Available actions:

Save: Store current settings (frequency, waveform, mode, harmonics, etc.) with a custom name
Load: Tap a saved preset to apply it instantly
Rename / Delete / Overwrite: Manage your preset library
Export / Import: Share presets with others as files

Built-in Quick Presets:

528 Hz — Miracle Frequency
432 Hz — Nature's Frequency
174 Hz — Solfeggio Base
7.83 Hz — Schumann Resonance
40 Hz — Gamma Wave

11. Tips & Precautions

💡

Tips for effective use
• Sessions of 15–30 minutes are recommended for best results.
• For binaural beats, always use headphones or earbuds.
• Keep the volume at a moderate level — too loud can be counterproductive.
• Use in a quiet, comfortable environment for the best experience.
• Start with Sine waveform and explore other shapes as you get comfortable.

⚠️

Precautions
• The Frequency Generator is not a medical treatment. Use it as a complementary wellness tool.
• If you have epilepsy or a history of seizures, consult your doctor before use.
• Do not use while driving or operating heavy machinery.
• If children are using it, an adult should always verify the volume level first.
