Version History of EarMaster

7.6.1

August 27, 2024

NEW FEATURES * New "Tone ladder" instrument for pitch-only sight-singing exercises! Sight-sing from solfege syllables displayed on a tone ladder, representing pitches and steps in a pedagogical way. * The pitch curve is now also shown on the "Note names" instrument, and of course on the new "Tone ladder" instrument. * The lesson list of a course in the home screen now shows which lessons you have completed, as well as your best score for each lesson. * New free course: "Greensleeves" - explore the English folk ballad Greensleeves with a series of EarMaster exercises. * New feature: "Bass line singing". You can now choose the chords of a lead sheet as the evaluated voice in sight-singing exercises. Then your task is to sing bass line of the accompaniment. * Improvement of the Melody Generator: The 6/8 time signature is now also available. * Improvement of the Melody Generator: Rests, Dotted notes and Triplets are now also available. * Improvement of the Melody Generator: The maximum number of bars has been increased from 4 to 8. * Improvement of the Melody Generator: You can now configure the melodies to start either on step 1, or on step 1, 3 or 5. * Improvement of continuous mode in sight-singing: If a lesson is in one single key, the tonic will only be heard before the first question. * Chord Progressions: It is now possible to define "progressions” consisting of one single chord. This makes it possible to create exercises in which you must identify one chord within the context of a key. * Bluetooth Latency Compensation: A second "Input Timing offset" setting dedicated to Bluetooth devices has been added in Preferences in order to compensate for the large delays caused by Bluetooth devices. LANGUAGE UPDATES * Traditional Chinese adaptation of the app text and the Beginner’s Course. Note: This is a computer conversion from Chinese Simplified, so please let us know if you find errors in the Traditional Chinese version! * Fixed the Dutch translation of the Beginner’s Course: some text lines where still in English. BUG FIXES * Fixed in lesson introductions: In some situations, the text of the lesson description could disappear when scrolling. * Presets were not always saved if the app went in the background after modifying presets. * The "Auto Submit Answer" option now works correctly with multiple-choice buttons. Before, it would always evaluate your answer, even when the expected condition was not met. It could also, in some situations, evaluate a wrong answer as correct. * Fixed error in the General Workshop "Rhythm Error Detection": some lessons could trigger the error message: "could not make changes with the chosen setup" * ... and many other minor bug fixes!

May 28, 2024

NEW FEATURES * Factory presets: in the Customized Exercise section, each activity now includes a number of factory presets that can serve as inspiration or quickjumps to certain settings. * Improvements to the General Workshops, especially in the melodic workshops. * Dictation exercises now allow playing a count-in when repeating a question or playing the user's answer. * The Play cursor can now be placed on the time signature to indicate that the count-in should be played, or on any note to play from that note without playing a count-in. * While the count-in is played, the time signature is now highlighted on the staff (if visible). * When the count-in option is enabled, the rewind button now jumps directly to the time signature in order to play the material with a count-in. LANGUAGE UPDATES * New Dutch (Nederlands) translation included. * Chinese (simplified) translation of the "Aural Trainer for ABRSM" course. * Update of the Chinese (simplified) app translation. * Major update of the Italian app translation. * Danish translation of the "Vocal Trainer" course. BUG FIXES * Fixed an issue in sight-reading exercises on iPhone, where the notation staff could begin scrolling too early. * The Functional Keyboard did not always update the text on the buttons when a new tone naming option was selected.

  • Microphone?

    On iPad. You will spend a great deal of time trying to get the app to pick up your internal or even external mic every single time you open it. It probably works fine on the desktop version. I wouldn’t know because you have to buy the desktop version separate from the mobile app. Not buying the software twice. Bad business.

    Developer Response

    Hi, we also offer a subscription which gives access to all sections on all platforms for a low monthly or annual fee. On iPad, mic input shoudl work out of the box, so I would like to find out what the issue you are experiencing is caused by. Could you please contact our support at support@earmaster.com and explain exactly what is happening when you try to use the microphone feature. If you cna make a short video showing exactly what is happening, that would be a huge help to enable us to solve this with you.
  • Super Program with some wrinkles

    Love the program! Provides terrific value and really helps mature my pretty weak ear. Thank you!
    The down side is it seems to crash way too much and I get error messages about half the time. Then I just give it an hour or three before trying again. Although this is a pain, especially after they whack you for an additional $ 12 or more, the quality of the training might be worth it.
    Hopefully, the powers that be will figure out and correct.
