Vibrato Trainer is the only metronome built around a new understanding of how vibrato actually works. Based on original research by Michael Van Bebber, Vibrato Trainer reveals that vibrato is not a fixed speed — it is a rhythmic subdivision of the musical pulse. As tempo changes, the correct vibrato subdivision changes predictably across six distinct tempo zones. This app maps that relationship for you automatically. Set your tempo, and Vibrato Trainer shows you exactly which subdivision your vibrato should follow — and lets you hear and feel it in real time. Features: - Tempo-synced vibrato metronome from 50–400 BPM - Automatic vibrato subdivision mapping across 6 tempo zones - Tap tempo - Time signatures: 4/4 · 12/8, 3/4 · 9/8, and 2/4 · 6/8 - Separate volume controls for beat click, vibrato click, and pitch tone - Piano keyboard for pitch reference (C3–C6) - Four waveforms: sawtooth, square, triangle, sine - Visual dot animation synced to vibrato rhythm For singers, string players, wind players, brass players, and jazz musicians.

Choose a target note and save a take that summarizes accepted pitch samples, while making weak, off-target or missing input visible. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Intonation Takes in the Practice Lab and choose the note, concert pitch and tolerance. 2. Start a take with microphone permission. The app accepts only fresh samples that meet its input and target checks. 3. Stop and save the take, then review the median cents, accepted-sample percentage and rejected-sample count. The chromatic tuner, metronome and other practice tools remain available. WHAT TO KNOW A summary needs at least ten accepted samples. Percentages describe overlapping accepted samples, not time spent in tune. The app does not score silence as success. Device microphones, environment and instrument affect results; no calibration or real-room accuracy guarantee is made. iPhone and iPad.
