Description of DronePlayer

DronePlayer is a fun, interactive practice assistant for improvising musicians. Playing over extended tonalities is a great way to develop your ears as well as your musical ideas. Long, sustained tones are generally known as drones. Drones have proven themselves quite useful for practicing. Many people use them to assist with intonation. Some enjoy playing scales over them. I personally have found them useful for practicing improvisation and improving my ears. Muting one of the drone voices is a great way to play with just a fundamental pitch. You can then improvise over this and focus on hearing how what you are playing relates. Adding a second drone voice just adds to the fun.

Reviews of DronePlayer

Leave a Review DronePlayer
  • Totally useless

    Ripoff
  • Avoid

    All the "drones" are more like repeated whole notes. They are short samples that pause and restart every few seconds, even on the infinity setting. The samples are also extremely low quality. The only way I could say that you get what you pay for is if the price was "Get".

    Developer Response

    The early version was an experiment but version 2.0+ introduced a proper, high quality audio engine and I hope you were able to upgrade to enjoy it. It's far better.
  • Great practice tool!

    This app is a great way to expand your musical imagination. I find it very useful when practicing how to navigate between chords in a musical way.
