Tone Craft is your all-in-one music practice studio for instrumentalists. Tuner, metronome, harmony, attack analysis, recording, and the newly added Scale Practice. Everything you need for daily practice, in one app. 【New: Scale Practice tab】 A fourth pillar of practice, alongside the tuner and metronome. Follow a score that scrolls across the screen while a reference tone plays, and practice long tones, arpeggios, lip slurs, and scales. Train accurate pitch and fingering with your eyes, ears, and fingers all at once. - Accompaniment: every mode plays chord backing so you practice inside the right harmony - Two-layer sound: the original range plus one octave up, for a full, rich accompaniment - Record & play back: capture what you played and review it against the waveform 【Daily practice in one app】 - Tuner: high-precision pitch detection with low latency - Metronome: irregular and compound meters, with a pendulum display - Harmony: switch between just and equal temperament to learn beats by ear - Attack analysis: capture waveform and spectrum the moment a note begins - Recording: waveform preview and seek playback - Scale Practice: flowing score, reference tone, and accompaniment to train pitch and fingering 【Pro-grade features, daily-touch UI】 The tuner tracks voice and instruments instantly with low latency. The harmony tab lets you switch between just intonation and equal temperament to hear the beating with your ears. The reference pitch and harmony now use a rich, dual-octave sound that makes those beats easier to hear. 【Themes】 Paper, Dark, Steampunk, Japanese and more β€” switch the mood to match your session (some Pro). 【Privacy】 All processing stays on your device. Recordings and tuning history never leave your phone. 【For】 Wind ensemble students, music college students, vocalists, brass and string players β€” anyone touching an instrument every day.
