---

---

MIDI In – Plug in your MIDI keyboard to enhance the experience! (Core MIDI compatible)

MIDI Out – If you have a music instrument app (such as a synth) that can run in "background mode" and accepts virtual Core MIDI, you can play Interval Ear Training using the sounds of that app.

---

Tips for the Beginners:

Use the + and - keyboard range control to set the keyboard to a small range such as "C, D" or "C, D, E".

Keep practicing, and as you progress youll want to make the range larger.

---

Tips for the Pros:

Set "Feedback" to "Never" and turn on "Autoplay" to play continuously without ever missing a beat. Crank up the tempo to see how fast you can go!

For more advanced ear training features, youll want to Unlock Pro Settings.

Interval Settings:

Tempo – 60 to 320 BPM

Keyboard Range – Starting at 2 notes in a major scale (ex. “C, D”) and up to 12 notes in a major scale (ex. “C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G”) with the ability to change octaves.

Feedback – Set to "Never" to stop all messages. Set to "Wrong" if you only want messages for incorrect intervals.

Sound – Set to "Piano" to hear the built-in piano sound. Set to "MIDI Out" to hear the sound of a music instrument app (such as a synth) that can run in "background mode" and accepts virtual Core MIDI.

Autoplay – Turn on to always play the next interval immediately. Turn off if you want to play the keyboard freely between intervals.

Key Labels – Turn off to remove note names on white keys.

Allow Unison – Turn off if you dont want the same note to be played twice in a row.

---

Pro Settings (requires in-app purchase):

Scale – 13 major scales

Difficulty - Diatonic, Random Tonic, Chromatic

Length – 2 to 6 notes

---

About the Difficulty Setting:

"Diatonic" uses notes from a major scale. This setting is recommended.

"Random Tonic" uses notes from a random major scale each time.

"Chromatic" mode is the "extreme mode" where any combination of notes is possible. As a result, strange intervals like the Augmented 2nd (ex. F to G#) are possible.

---

About the Score:

Interval Ear Training is all about self progression. Tap the score to reset at any time. The game goes on forever and the music never ends!
