Perfect Pitch vs OpenEar

LEARN VIA SYNESTHESIA. Train to gain the coveted ability of perfect pitch through synesthetic associations. Perfect Pitch is designed to capitalize on both your implicit and explicit color-tone associations. SENSORY PERFECT PITCH. Absolute pitch, the ability to identify and re-create musical notes without a reference tone, may be developed and enhanced by associating pitches with other sensory stimulations, such as color and haptic feedback (specialized device vibrations). Based on cognitive psychology, Perfect Pitch allows you to associate haptics & custom colors with each musical pitch and train yourself using songs, creating a cross-sensory experience known as synesthesia. FEATURES THAT GUIDE MASTERY. • Play pitches & songs while associated colors illuminate • Train using fifteen built-in melodies, songs, & scales • Colors and pitches are presented in the Circle of Fifths • Choose custom color associations that feel right to YOU • Soft haptics for natural notes; rigid haptics for sharps/flats • Playback Settings allow training modifications for each song • Organize the set & order of songs to practice from the Library DEVELOPED AT GEORGIA TECH. Perfect Pitch was originally developed by students at the Georgia Institute of Technology while working with ubiquitous computing researchers. However, this app is not affiliated with the Institute.

OpenEar is the open source ear training app for musicians. It's goal is to provide a flexible variety of exercises with emphasis on tonal music so musicians will be able to master recognizing any musical pattern that might help them become better musicians. Currently includes the following exercises: 1. Scale Degree Identification 2. Chord Function Identification (identify chords in roman numeral analysis) - the only app in the world that allow this! 3. Common Progressions 4. Chord Types - including settings for root degrees per type so you can practice only common types in a tonal context 5. Scale Degrees with Chords - absolutely revolutionary exercise that help develop both scale degree and chord identification in tonal context. 6. Triad inversions - identify a position of a closed voiced triad 7. Intervals - the classic atonal intervals exercise. Not recommended for beginners as research shows that apart from advance usecases, intervals are not effective in developing good aural skills in tonal music.
