I use Tonal Energy as a metronome, tuner, and recording device on a daily basis and love it. I tried the sound spectrum analysis a few times, however, and had similar results to those of Liquorice: i.e. I could play the clarinet in a rather bad way and get the TE analysis to show an improvement in upper overtones.
I saw a video awhile back of someone looking at a famous clarinetist's tone using spectrum analysis. To me, it's a gimmick. So much of what we hear as a player's "sound" is matching timbres through registers, intonation, legato, air shapes, vocalistic phrasing, etc. Although it requires musical know-how and a good ear, focusing on these things yields much more beautiful clarinet sounds than getting 25% more of the 5th partial (or whatever it may be) into your tone.
