* Do you want a melodic and rhythmic ear training app that will push you and your ears to the limit? * Are you terrified of the phrase...'Oh...btw...we're starting with a new one. It's in 13. You'll hear it...' * Have you ever wanted to practice playing in 5? 7? 11? 19? 31? 43? 61?!? Instead of simply keeping time, Melodronome helps improvisers practice by providing a new, configurable melodic line with the press of a button. Inspired by the book, Modus Novus, Melodronome's melodies are composed using the intervals you select. Choose intervals to create varying melodic lines. For example, if you select m2↑ (minor second up) and m2↓ (minor second down), the resulting melody will consist of minor seconds ascending and minor seconds descending. Press play to start. Consecutive presses will generate new melodies. Find one you like and stay for a while. As are many beautiful things, each melody is ephemeral. Once it's gone, it is gone for good. Please take the time to enjoy each new melody. It may be a while before it's ever heard again. You can always press stop.
