HarpBend vs Harmonica Studio

The ultimate harmonica practice app. HarpBend listens to your playing and highlights every note on the harmonica grid in real time — so you can see exactly what you're playing, nail your bends, and build your repertoire faster. REAL-TIME DETECTION HarpBend uses your microphone to detect the pitch of each note as you play. Blow, draw, and bend notes light up instantly on the grid — no latency, no guesswork. VISUAL HARMONICA GRID A clear, color-coded grid shows every hole, direction (blow/draw), and bend position. Supports both diatonic (10-hole) and chromatic (12-hole) harmonicas in all keys. SCALES & MODES Overlay any scale on the grid to see exactly which notes to target. Pentatonic, blues, dorian, mixolydian, and more — perfect for learning solos and improvisation. CHORDS & ARPEGGIOS Visualize chord tones directly on the grid and practice arpeggios hole by hole. From basic triads to jazz extensions. JAZZ & BLUES STANDARDS Practice on real chord progressions — 12-Bar Blues, Autumn Leaves, So What, Summertime, and more. The grid updates live at every chord change so you always know which notes fit. METRONOME & BASS PATTERNS Built-in metronome with adjustable tempo and accompaniment patterns (Rock, Pop, Shuffle, Walking) to practice with a full rhythmic feel. BEAUTIFUL THEMES Choose from Classic, Ocean, Forest, or create your own custom color theme. Requires microphone permission for pitch detection.

Harmonica Studio is the tuner that actually speaks harmonica. Most tuners just name a note. Harmonica Studio listens and tells you the exact hole, draw or blow, bend, and overblow you are playing — in real time, analyzed on your device. LIVE TUNER — see the precise hole and bend you are sounding, with a cents-accurate needle and in-tune feedback, in any of the 12 keys. HARP MAP — a visual map of your whole harmonica: every blow, draw, bend and overblow note, for all 12 keys and 1st, 2nd and 3rd position. SONG LIBRARY — learn traditional, public-domain songs in clean harmonica tab, from beginner melodies to bend-heavy classics. PRACTICE DRILLS — train your draw bends and overblows with live cents scoring and a streak counter. POSITIONS MADE SIMPLE — instantly see the key and mode you will play in, whether straight harp (1st), cross harp (2nd) for blues, or slant (3rd). Audio is analyzed in real time on your device and is never recorded or sent anywhere. Free includes the live tuner, the full harp map, and a set of beginner songs. Harmonica Studio Pro unlocks the complete songbook, every practice drill, and advanced tuner analysis.
