Pitch Pipe

This is an amazing tool! It is great to be able to obtain pitches using the timbre of a beautiful voice!!

So simple yet so genius

This is the app I was waiting for. Love to play around with it. Makes making music on the go fun

So helpful when assigning Parts!

Love this app! Super helpful for assigning parts!

Finally, an app true to musicianship

TL;DR β€” Choir leaders and vocalists, this is your ultimate destination for rehearsals and performances.

***
As a longtime admirer (a fan in shadow), I want to extend my deepest commendation to you, Peter, for developing an app that truly honors genuine musicianship.

Apps are typically built by developers, and many apps made for musicians sadly fall short of perfection. Some elements shine, others are merely adequate. As we all know, being both an accomplished musician and a skilled developer is no easy feat, yet this app has managed precisely that.

This is a true gem in the field, the finest wheat among the chaff, where an app is genuinely useful. As I mentioned, many apps meet basic needs, but this meticulous craftsmanship, interwoven with authentic musical understanding, is something altogether rare and superb.

Yes, Peter, I love it. Your app has truly served my needs and brought an end to my odyssey of searching for a worthy app β€” real vocal notes that choristers can genuinely relate to, real-triads, great sounding chords, 6/8 time signatures (yes, some apps still lack this), setlists, and so much more.

By the way, I did want to flag one small note: when playing through my setlist, there's no way to stop the currently sounding chord tone β€” the "Stop" button closes the entire setlist instead.

I presume the large stop button at the bottom is meant to stop the drone currently playing, while the small stop button in the top-right corner should stop the setlist as a whole. At present, however, both perform the same action.

And on the main page, it would be nice to have a toggle for "play chords or notes" when tapping the piano keys. Currently, I have to play a note and then tap chords every time I want my choir to hear each chord.

Thank you again, Peter. And yes β€” we've missed you too. It's wonderful to hear from you again!

Wildly useful tool

I’ve actually been using this app and am pretty excited about hearing a real voice sing the pitch feels much more natural than trying to match a synth tone. I especially like ability to give parts and play chords …instead of working them out on a keyboard. Nice to have a metronome too enjoying the design its very intuitive. I’d love to see the give parts feature go bass/root up instead of down or at least a setting to do either added, but the app already does what I need and I plan to keep using it.
