Mr. Drum
Read full descriptionHide full description
Mr. Drum is a rhythm trainer for players who want to know how their timing actually feels. Play along to studio-quality drum patterns, and Mr. Drum measures where each of your hits lands against the beat - ahead of it (Push), behind it (Layback), or right on it (Center). PRACTICE TO REAL PATTERNS - 4-beat, 8-beat, 16-beat, swing and Latin styles, each with multiple variations - Tempo from a slow practice crawl up to full speed, with tap tempo - A count-in that follows the actual time signature of the pattern (3/4, 6/8, 12/8 and more) - Per-instrument mixer so you can pull the kick up or take the ride down - Haptic metronome and a visual flasher for practicing quietly SEE YOUR TIMING, NOT JUST HEAR IT - Play along with the microphone, or tap along on screen - both are analyzed the same way - Every session gives you an average offset in milliseconds, how consistent you were, and which beats you rush or drag the most - Tempo drift is separated from feel, so "playing behind the beat" is never confused with "slowing down" - Your Groove Profile builds up over time from your practice history TIME FEEL (PRO) Shift snare, ride, toms and percussion ahead of or behind the beat independently, and hear how a groove changes when the parts do not sit in the same place. YOUR AUDIO STAYS YOURS Mr. Drum listens through the microphone, but audio is never recorded or saved. Only the timing of each hit is kept, and it never leaves your device. There is no account, no sign-in, and no server.

Enjoying new exotic songs, but have no idea what their unfamiliar harmonies are doing? With a little training, you can recognize and reproduce crazy harmonies yourself! TRAIN YOUR EAR, TRAIN YOUR VOICE Interval Ear Trainer turns ratios from JI (just intonation) and EDO (equal divisions of the octave) into focused, colorful practice sessions. Choose prime limits from 5-limit (traditional Western harmony) through 7-limit, 11-limit, 13-limit, and higher. Then, identify the intervals you hear. Targeted practice brings back troublesome intervals with nearby contrasts and familiar landmarks. Once you've trained your ear, train your voice with Hum mode, and let the app detect how close you are to singing intervals. Or, get started on recognizing chords, scales, and even scale progressions! EXPLORE THE SPECTRUM Turn off the pressure and enter a free spectrum mode, where you can practice your chosen intonation at will. A live display shows where your voice lands and highlights nearby intervals. Turn real practice history into polished accomplishment cards and challenge your friends to see how they do.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Microtonal Interval Eartrainer at none against Mr. Drum's 1. Microtonal Interval Eartrainer also leads on ads (none vs shown). Mr. Drum's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
