Audiator vs Otso

With Audiator, you can systematically learn solfège while simultaneously improving your musicality. With these audiation exercises, you train your ear and your inner sense of pitch, to respond musically with voice or instrument, and your understanding of music. Make music with this app: basics and chords in major and minor. The app sings for you on neutral or sofège syllables, you can directly imitate that and receive feedback, if the notes were in tune. Playfully learn to hear and understand the inner connections through solfège syllables. What you can sing yourself, you understand much better than if you count notes. The app supports you doing so. Additionally, you can play along with all exercises on your instrument, and the app recognizes different octaves. To learn the language of music, you ideally don't start with musical notation and theory, but with practice: listening, singing, making music. You can practice the little parts of music (patterns) here as musical vocabulary, even before written notation comes into play. Edwin E. Gordon has extensively researched and described this in his Music Learning Theory. On the start page, you get suggestions for what you can practice or review next. Upgrade to Audiator PRO: Practice 10 more units (100 exercises) in your app and create 100 of your own individual units.

ACCESSIBILITY VoiceOver labels and timer actions, keyboard controls on Mac and iPad, and animations that adapt to Reduce Motion. DETAILS YOU CAN FEEL Each face has its own sounds: Wood knocks, Glass chimes, and LCD clicks like a watch button. Flick the dial and it spins on, clicking past each mark as it slows to a stop. The faces catch the light like real objects: tilt your iPhone or iPad, or move the pointer on Mac, and the glass glints, shadows deepen under the rim and the knobs, and Neon’s glow floats behind its tube. Party celebrates with confetti, while Aurora adds a soft shimmer. Motion effects are reduced when Reduce Motion is on. FIFTEEN FACES Each has its own character. • Classic — charcoal body, glass lens, red disc • Pastel — soft candy colors and a textured knob • Rainbow — lilac, with an arc that shrinks color by color • Neumorph — soft, sculpted, quiet • Glass — translucent, on a light wall • Flat — pure, bold, no chrome • Paper — warm stationery, an ink needle • Wood — turned walnut, terracotta wedge • LCD — dot matrix on a backlit sage screen • Rugged — machined blades behind thick rubber • Midnight — black with a hot coral glow • Halo — a glowing amber ring • Neon — a magenta glow against the dark • Aurora — a curtain of light over a starfield • Party — a frosted cake that bursts into confetti Otso takes its name from the bear of Finnish folklore. A timer should sit quietly in the room and be understood at a glance. For lessons, workshops, exams, focused work, homework, and cooking — whenever it helps to see time passing.
