Pitch Primer

Imagine yourself playing or singing in tune. Completely in tune. Imagine being able to analyze the exact pitch of your playing. Imagine the possibility to really enhance your ability to hear whether your playing is sharp, flat or pure.

It is now possible with Pitch Primer.

Professional and hobbyist musicians can improve their playing or singing with Pitch Primer, software initially developed by professional musicians for their own needs to hear pitch purity more accurately and to improve their playing. Sibelius Academy, one of the biggest and most respected European music universities has helped these devoted developers to finalize their Pitch Primer software.

Pitch Primer enables the user to analyze audio in real time while recording and also after recording. The software draws a graph of the playing pitch in relation to desired temperament, zooming in and out interactively with playing. No more fumbling off pitch!

PITCH PRIMER HAS FIVE BASIC MODES
1) Record Records audio, enabling the user to analyze it in real time.
2) Standby Tuning mode.
3) Playback Replays audio just as it was recorded.
4) Retune Replays audio retuned pure to desired temperament, enabling the user to hear how the audio would sound in tune.
5) Analysis It is possible to analyze recorded takes, scroll back and forth inside them, zoom in and out to examine the most interesting parts precisely and accurately.

Pitch Primer is designed especially for woodwind and brass instruments, but instruments such as strings, vocals and others can reap the benefits as well.

Jep. Pitch Primer pitäisi saada myös Androidiin ja tietokoneelle. Hyvin vakuuttava ohjelma ja työkalu, jolle on ihan varmana kysyntää kaikilla alustoilla.

[PitchPrimer]

@Tuomionkasi Kiitos positiivisesta palautteesta, toivotaan että saadaan mahdollisuus joskus rakentaa versio muillekin alustoille.

[Sarrgas]

Is there anything like this for the PC or the Android phones? I would LOVE to have this, but I don't have an iPhone :(

[PitchPrimer]

@Sarrgas Hi, not currently planned but maybe some day it is possible, not in the near future though. Sorry about that, hope you get your hands on PP at some point!

[PitchPrimer]

[PitchPrimer]

[Sarrgas]

@PitchPrimer It's okay, I found a similar program to the PC called "Sing and See", which suited my needs perfectly :)

[The1hope4all]

@ChangedToSee I don't see why not...

[ChangedToSee]

Dumb question but could this work for singing as well?
