Ear training is highly essential for any musician - be it a composer, singer, songwriter or instrumentalist. It practices the ability to connect music theory elements (intervals, chords, scales) with real sounds you hear. The benefits of mastering ear training include improved intonation and musical memory, confidence in improvisation or the ability to transcribe music more easily. MyEarTraining makes ear training practice possible almost anywhere and anytime on the go, thus saving you from the hassle of assembling musical instruments. You can practically train your ears while waiting at the bus stand, traveling, or even at your coffee desk. >> APP FOR ALL EXPERIENCE LEVELS Whether you are new to music theory, need to prepare for an intensive school exam, or are an experienced musician, there are over 100 aural exercises to help you push your music skills. Users with no ear training experience begin with simple perfect intervals, major vs. minor chords and simple rhythms. Advanced users can progress through seventh chord inversions, complex chord progressions and exotic scale modes. You can use tonal exercises with solfeggio or singing exercises to improve your inner ear. Input answers using buttons or virtual piano keyboard. For major music topics, MyEarTraining offers different courses and lessons including basic music theory. Interval songs and practice piano are also included. >> COMPLETE EAR TRAINING MyEarTraining app works by combining different ear training approaches like isolated sounds, singing exercises, and functional exercises (sounds in tonal context) to train your ears, thus maximizing results.

BorgVR brings large 3D volume datasets to life on Apple devices. The app is designed for research, education, medicine, engineering, and any field where complex spatial data needs to be explored, presented, or reviewed together. Open local or remote datasets, import new data, and adjust the visualization directly in the app. Depending on your task, you can switch between rendering modes, change isovalues, edit transfer functions, set clipping planes, and control the view with rotation, panning, and zoom. BorgVR supports live collaboration with SharePlay. Multiple users can explore the same dataset together, synchronize visualization settings, and run a shared analysis or presentation session. Interaction remains tailored to each platform: mobile on iPhone and iPad, desktop-style on Mac, or spatial with Apple Vision Pro. The app is built for large datasets and uses a progressive, memory-efficient volume rendering system. This allows extensive data to be explored while only the required parts are loaded and displayed. Datasets can be stored locally or streamed from a server. Features: - Interactive visualization of large 3D volume datasets - Open local and remote datasets - Import your own data - Multiple rendering modes, including transfer function and isovalue visualization - Transfer function editor - Clipping for focused inspection - SharePlay collaboration across supported Apple devices - Local storage and progressive loading BorgVR combines powerful 3D visualization with a familiar Apple experience, making complex volume data easier to access, understand, and explore together.
