Practice, Practice, Practice....
Hey, all -- we've got a new app out; not really a traditional iOS music making thing, but probably interesting to musicians who play real-world physical instruments (particularly string players).
Practice, Practice, Practice will listen to incoming audio, and detect the pitch -- it's built on top of the pitch detection code in MIDImorphosis and Spectral Eye. The app will walk you through the scales in all the major keys, and make sure you hit the notes correctly.
The motivation for this came from listening to one of my kids working on a new scale on her violin -- it was a little bit of a train wreck (ok, a lot of a train wreck). It occurred to me that if there was an app that would track the pitch she was playing, and guide her on the notes.... it would go a heck of a lot easier. So, that's pretty much what the app does.
There's a built-in Soundfont engine, with piano, violin, and brass -- and both AB and IAA, of course. The keyboard reconfigures to the notes in the scale, so you can hear what things are supposed to sound like too.
Intro pricing of a buck; again, it's really aimed at students learning instruments (who are dreaming of playing Carnegie Hall). Give me a shout if you've got questions!

Cool beans, gonna check it now!
Patrick, I'll definitely have a look-see - I have a client dealing with special needs educational tools, and I'm always on the look out for educational music apps for her to promote (we recently promoted Bebot! for example).
I continue to be impressed by the speed and quantity of your app development. So many innovative apps, it's getting harder to keep your BaseDesign secret
So, it turns out that train wrecks are the mother invention. Cool story. Good luck with the app.
you made MIDImorphosis already
I missed that
the idea itself is truly great, raise the price immediately
There are heaps of desperate parents yearning to get their kids' violin practice in tune!
Bought on principle just to give a little support.
Does it work with the voice?
:-). If I can get parents of every beginning violin student to give me a buck each.... I'll be rich beyond my wildest dreams!
Got it for my daughter who is about to start on the trumpet. Really awesome.
And MIDImophosis is such a great tool. I use it most with Tin Pan and it's a wonder.
@mulletsaison when you say you are using MIDIMorphosis with Tin Pan, do you meaning 'extracting' Tin Pan tunes into midi notes? Sorry if this self-evident, but that would be wonderful (so, might just be wishful thinking on my part
@JonnyGoodyear First of all sorry I didn't respond till now. But, Yes, that's exactly right! The only weird thing is that MIDImorphosis doesn't show up as an output in Audiobus until I activate it as an input (Air2, latest iOS). Then I ditch it from the input and pick the synth that's going to be my real sound source. Most often I'll do an instrument at a time, but fun/good weirdness can ensue from feeding it all into a synth. I attached a screenshot, to make it clearer.
Bravo that man and thanks for the screenshot, I shall try this out post haste etc. Good to know.
@SecretBaseDesign
Cool idea for an app. Would it work with a cello do you think?
@Matt_Fletcher_2000 -- yes, it will work with a cello (one of my daughter's friends plays cello, and was part of the beta test group). The low end frequency response of iPhone microphones isn't great, so the low end of a bass is tough, but cello works nicely.
Update on the horizon will add multiple octave scales, the ability to adjust how "close" you have to get to a note, and a bunch of other stuff. Later on, I will probably add MIDI import, so that the app can guide a musician to hit the right pitch for all the notes in a piece of music....
You should consider making an app for singers - not for singing scales (too boring) but maybe one that allows you to import MIDI and then try and sing along. For example you import the MIDI file of a song like "Dock of the Bay" and the app tracks your pitch as you sing along to the MIDI and tells you if you are sharp or flat.
I'd pay a fair amount of bucks for an app like that. You could populate it with public domain songs (Amazing Grace etc) and allow users the ability to import their own MIDI files.
Yup -- that's part of the plan! Once you get past the idea of a tuner only being used to tune up an instrument -- there's lots of things that can be done to help get people onto the right pitch with whatever instrument they're playing...
cool that sounds good, i try it for a couple of minutes, with my guitar, and it would be good the treshold how long you play the exact note could be adjustable from now around 1sec, from 0,1sec <> maybe 5sec for voices to train....
and other scales please.
MIDI import for Songs, wow!!
