About Microtonal Ear Trainer
Can you hear the difference between a note that's perfectly in tune and one that's just slightly off? Microtonal Ear Trainer builds the listening skills many musicians never develop. Designed by a musician, for musicians. This app focuses on one thing and does it well: training your ear to detect microtonal pitch differences that many people can't even hear yet. Each round plays two tones in sequence. Your job is simple: is the second note flat or sharp? The deviation is random, anywhere from a subtle 1 cent to a wide 100 cents, and the difficulty is yours to control. With consistent practice, you'll start hearing pitch inflections that used to be invisible to you. Whether you're a vocalist trying to lock into a chord, a guitarist chasing pure intonation, or a composer working with microtonality, this app trains the one skill no instrument lesson covers. FEATURES • Pure sine wave tones, no distractions, just the pitch relationship • Adjustable cent range, start wide and narrow it as you improve • Configurable note range, train across two octaves (C2-C6) • Adjustable timing, control tone duration, gap, and result display • 60-day progress chart, see your accuracy trend over time • Instant feedback, correct or wrong, and by exactly how many cents • Swipe or tap, answer flat or sharp your way HOW TO USE IT 1.
