You don't have to break focus to tap a timer. When you finish, you know how long you played, and you can hear that take again right away. [Play a note, and timing starts] Connect a digital piano or MIDI keyboard by Bluetooth or a cable. Timing starts when a note comes in. You don't tap Start. By default, 5 seconds of silence pauses, and 1 minute of silence saves a practice log. You can change both waits: pause 1–30 seconds, end 1–10 minutes. You can also end it yourself. [It records the time you actually play] Timing follows the MIDI. While the piano is sending notes, time adds up. When you stop, it pauses. Each log is one continuous performance, with the piece name you enter. [When you finish, hear it again on the piano] The MIDI from that session stays in the log. Tap play, and the notes go back to the connected keyboard, so you hear that take on the piano. You can line up what felt easy and where you got stuck.

譜面台に置くだけ。日々の練習に励むチェリストに送る。 『CelloScale』は、チェロの基礎練習に革命を起こす「スマート楽譜」アプリです。 チューナーと楽譜を交互に見るストレスから解放され、演奏そのものに没頭できる新しい練習体験を提供します。 使い方:3ステップで練習スタート セッティング 練習したい「調(Key)」と「オクターブ」を選択。1オクターブの基本練習から、ハイポジションを網羅する4オクターブまで、あなたのレベルに合わせた楽譜が瞬時に生成されます。 演奏に集中する 楽器を弾き始めると、音符の上に「ピッチバー(インジケーター)」が現れます。ピッチが高ければ音符の上に浮き、低ければ下に沈みます。別にあるチューナーを覗き込む必要はありません。音符そのものを見つめながら、音程を微調整してください。 シームレスな体験 完璧なピッチに合うと、バーが緑色に発光し「ロックオン」を知らせます。小節の終わりに差し掛かると、楽譜が滑らかに左へスライド。ページをめくるために弓を置く必要はなく、1枚の巻物を弾くような感覚で集中力が途切れません。 チェリストのための、プロの記法 自動の音部記号切り替え:音域が高くなると、ヘ音記号から自動的にテノール記号やト音記号へ切り替わります。3オクターブ以上の練習では、読みやすさを優先してハ音記号をスキップする「ダイレクト・シフト」機能を搭載。 自由なスタイルで:デバイスの向きに合わせて楽譜のレイアウトを自動最適化します。 「正しい音程で、流れるように弾く」 そのシンプルで奥深い目標を、CelloScaleが最も洗練された方法でサポートします。
