***** Highly addictive piano game. ***** A fun way to develop a better musical ear! Great for experienced musicians and beginners. Music students love this app. ---- Interval Ear Training can help improve: • Interval recognition • Sense of pitch • Transcription skills • Improvising skills • Self esteem --- How to Play: • Tap "play" to hear the interval • To hear the interval again, tap "replay" • Use the piano to play the interval yourself • Play often to improve your score! --- MIDI In – Plug in your MIDI keyboard to enhance the experience! (Core MIDI compatible) MIDI Out – If you have a music instrument app (such as a synth) that can run in "background mode" and accepts virtual Core MIDI, you can play Interval Ear Training using the sounds of that app. --- Tips for the Beginners: Use the + and - keyboard range control to set the keyboard to a small range such as "C, D" or "C, D, E". Keep practicing, and as you progress you'll want to make the range larger. --- Tips for the Pros: Set "Feedback" to "Never" and turn on "Autoplay" to play continuously without ever missing a beat. Crank up the tempo to see how fast you can go! For more advanced ear training features, you'll want to Unlock Pro Settings. --- Interval Settings: Tempo – 60 to 320 BPM Keyboard Range – Starting at 2 notes in a major scale (ex. “C, D”) and up to 12 notes in a major scale (ex. “C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G”) with the ability to change octaves. Feedback – Set to "Never" to stop all messages. Set to "Wrong" if you only want messages for incorrect intervals. Sound – Set to "Piano" to hear the built-in piano sound. Set to "MIDI Out" to hear the sound of a music instrument app (such as a synth) that can run in "background mode" and accepts virtual Core MIDI. Autoplay – Turn on to always play the next interval immediately. Turn off if you want to play the keyboard freely between intervals. Key Labels – Turn off to remove note names on white keys. Allow Unison – Turn off if you don't want the same note to be played twice in a row. --- Pro Settings (requires in-app purchase): Scale – 13 major scales Difficulty - Diatonic, Random Tonic, Chromatic Length – 2 to 6 notes --- About the Difficulty Setting: "Diatonic" uses notes from a major scale. This setting is recommended. "Random Tonic" uses notes from a random major scale each time. "Chromatic" mode is the "extreme mode" where any combination of notes is possible. As a result, strange intervals like the Augmented 2nd (ex. F to G#) are possible. --- About the Score: Interval Ear Training is all about self progression. Tap the score to reset at any time. The game goes on forever and the music never ends! --- Can you guess the next note? Download the app to find out!

In the app, you have the option to practice ear training by setting the number of notes, difficulty, key signature, tempo, and clef to your liking. • Practice Tip! The recommendation is to practice ear training by gradually increasing the number of notes. Absolute Pitch Quiz(1 note) → melody Interval Quiz(2 notes) → Short Melody Quiz(3-5 notes) → Long Melody Quiz(6-10 notes) • The difficulty level can be selected from 1 to 6. Level 1 has melodies that are simple with few accidentals, but as difficulty increases, more complex melodies with chromatic scales are presented. • Key Signatures: You can select 9 key signatures. Each key signature contains melodic questions in either major or minor keys. In addition, melodic questions that can be transposed from major to minor or from minor to major. Also you can listen to atonal music by selecting 'Atonal'. • Tempo: You can change the tempo of the melody by choosing quarter notes, eighth notes, or sixteenth notes. The faster the note, the more difficult it is. • Clef: You can choose between G clef, C clef, F clef. If you can select the F clef, you will hear melodies in the lower range. • Check your answer: You can check the answer either in text format or on a score. If you select the text option, you will only be shown whether the answer is correct or the number of wrong notes. Since you don't know the exact answer, you can practice until you get the right answer. • When you have completed all the questions, your total score will be displayed. If you achieve a complete score on high difficulty, you will see a stunning fireworks animation. • The melodic questions on the app are created based on the probability of random numbers. So, you can listen to an almost infinite number of new melodies and each melody is programmed to be created with careful consideration of musical aspects. We hope that your sense of pitch will be greatly upgraded through this app. Thank You :) * Lottie Animation (Lottie Simple License) - Animation fireworks! by Ellie at lottiefiles.com - Animation Fireworks by nekogrammer at lottiefiles.com - Animation Stars by Bertina at lottiefiles.com * SimpleToast Copyright [12.07.20.] [Martin Albrecht] Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
