This trick, like many others, is made by the performance. The instructional video details multiple
methods of getting peaks and doing reveals.
In said video, there are several creators that
explain how to use their apps to expand on those options. That's great! Almost all of the apps are
Apple based. That's not great...
I can confirm, however, that you do NOT need an iPhone to
perform the trick and can generate multiple reveals (with an Android) if you learn how to manage
your handling and off-beats.
(-1 Star because I want to use fancy apps too)
