Harmonomics Ear Training vs aiMetronome

Harmonomics is a deep, flexible ear-training studio for musicians at every level—from first intervals to advanced harmony. Build real listening skills through more than 50 customizable exercises covering intervals, melodies, chords, chord progressions, scales, music theory, perfect pitch, and relative pitch. Harmonomics goes beyond basic identification with exercises for chord inversions, altered dominant chords, simultaneous pitches, scale degrees, root movement, and much more. PRACTICE YOUR WAY • Customize each exercise with focused, exercise-specific settings. • Choose Standard, Guest, or Hands-Free sessions—with spoken answers and automatic progression in Hands-Free mode. • Create your own exercises for the exact skills you want to develop. • Work with a large library of more than 35 chord types in multiple inversions. • Choose from multiple in-app color themes, with light and dark appearance options. • Use keyboard shortcuts on supported devices for fast, hands-on practice. SEE YOUR PROGRESS • Review accuracy, question counts, response time, and detailed results. • Explore your history for each exercise and see how your performance changes over time. • Stay motivated with daily goals and streaks. • Celebrate progress with interactive 3D achievements and personal records. • Revisit completed sessions in your reports archive. FROM FUNDAMENTALS TO ADVANCED HARMONY Start with essential interval, melody, and chord recognition, then move into advanced exercises that challenge you to hear inversions, chord tones, altered harmonies, multiple simultaneous pitches, and complex sequences. Every exercise can be shaped around your level, your instrument, and the music you want to master. Whether you are beginning ear training, preparing for school, sharpening your improvisation, or maintaining professional-level listening skills, Harmonomics gives you room to keep growing.

aiMetronome — pro-level metronome features in a one-time purchase, no subscription. Built by a musician, for musicians. New in V2: program whole pieces with Tunes, import MusicXML & MIDI, share with students, jump to any bar, loop sections, and set smooth rit. / accel. ramps. --- TUNES --- A tune is a saved sequence of blocks. Each block has its own time signature, tempo, subdivisions, length in bars, optional rit. / accel. ramp into the next block, optional cesura (silent gap) at its end, and a "count-in" flag for the first block. Rehearse with a click that follows your tempo and meter. --- IMPORT MIDI & MUSICXML --- Drop a MIDI or MusicXML file from any notation app (Sibelius, MuseScore, Dorico, Logic). aiMetronome reads tempo markings, time-signature changes, repeats, voltas, cesuras and fermatas — and builds the tune for you. No more re-typing a 100-bar piece bar by bar. --- SHARE & BACK UP --- Send a single tune (.aitune) or your whole library (.aitunes) via AirDrop, Files, iCloud Drive — any iOS share destination. Great for teachers handing students rehearsal plans, or personal backup. --- PLAYBACK LOOP & JUMP TO ANY BAR --- Long-press a block to set loop start / end — the selected range loops indefinitely until cleared. Or drag the red playhead dot on the main-screen banner to jump to any bar instantly. --- TEMPO --- Accurate from 10 to 300 BPM. Twist the big knob for fast moves. Use the +/– buttons for 1 BPM precision. Tap the centre to set tempo by feel — your taps are averaged, so the BPM settles smoothly instead of bouncing on every tap. New in V2: standalone ritardando or accelerando ramps over any number of beats or measures, from any tempo to any target. --- aiVolume™ --- aiVolume™ listens and adapts the click volume to your dynamic range. • Loud playing: click turns up. • Quiet playing: click backs off. • Volume Boost (10 / 20 s) gives a clearer click for count-ins, then fades back to aiVolume™. The click sits naturally in the background of your music — and disappears in the quiet moments where it would otherwise stand out. • Lessons — backs off during discussion, comes up when you play. • Recording sessions — click goes quiet during exposed passages, less bleed into the mic. • Live performance — rises with stage volume, drops in quiet moments where the audience could otherwise hear it leaking from in-ears. --- TIME SIGNATURES & CLICK SOUNDS --- Set any time signature with the new notation-style picker — numerator over a fraction line, denominator below, just like engraved music. Subdivisions in a simple wheel. Pick a click timbre — Claves, Click, or Beep — or mix them. New in V2: choose any timbre to play at half velocity on non-accented beats — a fuller texture that still tracks the downbeat. --- VISUAL & PRACTICAL --- • On-screen flash, device torch, or both. • Layout adapts cleanly: iPhone SE through Pro Max, every iPad (Split View / Slide Over included). • Works in the background — close the screen, save battery. • Bluetooth output: route click to headphones or speakers. The mic for aiVolume™ stays on your iPhone / iPad, listening to your actual playing in the room. • Screen no longer locks while aiMetronome is on screen. • Clean, dark interface. Important: focus your device's mic 0.5–2 m from the sound source. Don't place the device directly on the instrument (e.g. on a piano body) — it can cause unnaturally high ambient readings and distort aiVolume™'s behaviour. --- NO SUBSCRIPTION, NO IN-APP PURCHASES --- Every feature in this app is included in your one-time purchase. Future updates are free. No "Premium" tier, no per-feature unlock, no ads, no tracking. The metronome you buy stays the metronome you have. --- FROM THE DEVELOPER --- I'm a musician, and aiMetronome started because I waited too long for one that behaved the way I needed. Every feature here exists because it solved a real practice annoyance. Made by a musician, for musicians. ainars
