Note Smash
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn every note you play into a hit. Note Smash transforms note recognition into a fast, hands-on music game. Watch the Note Sprites fall, see their Note Names, and hear each one through Voice Prompt. Then play the matching sound to smash them—using your own instrument or the virtual instrument on your screen. PLAY WITH A REAL INSTRUMENT Let your device listen through the microphone. Note Smash detects the note you play and checks whether it matches the falling Note Sprite. PRACTICE ANYWHERE No instrument nearby? Jump in with the built-in virtual instrument and keep playing right on your device. BUILD FASTER MUSICAL REFLEXES Connect the note name you see with the note you need to play. As you advance through the levels, Note Sprites appear more frequently and more Note Names with sharps and flats are introduced—steadily increasing the challenge and sharpening your response speed. KEY FEATURES • Smash falling Note Sprites by playing matching notes • Use a real instrument through your device microphone • Play directly on screen with a virtual instrument • Follow each Note Name visually and through Voice Prompt • Practice note-name recognition through active play • Train faster reactions between seeing and playing a note • Take on faster Note Sprites and more Note Names with sharps and flats as you progress HOW TO PLAY 1.
