It is a slow and tedious process. The price point is too high for me. If you bring the price down to under $100 you will do better at getting customers. I believe with daily practice you can improve your musical ear with this device.

I must say i?m intrigued by this product, yet i found two somewhat negative and one positive review on musician sfriend.com, now im in doubt, whether to buy it for its price, i mean is it worth it to spend $149.999, i mean so far two years in the market and not one well and reliable written review on it

@alexmoxon continued... Bruce Arnolds "One Note" (and following) method on mp3 random play, mp3 random play of scales/modes or with 1 or more notes missing for more complex identification (make 'em yourself, w/ answers spoken at end of each clip), cheap, tiny, even cheesy portable keyboard with headphones... etc etc etc. Less $, expandable, customizable, BETTER results. For iPhone/Pod try the "Do Re Mi" and "Play by Ear" apps... but know that almost everything else is attractive crap.

@alexmoxon Unfortunately developers who make complicated but ill-informed stuff like this count on musicians' understandable desperation for effective & portable practice. There are all kinds of infinitely more effective, time tested, less glamorous/expensive (mean: not "techie," over-promised, etc.) solutions. An mp3 player on random play with individual progressions followed by "test" notes / sequences, singing quietly through arpeggiated progressions (start with classical figured bass)...

Uhh yeah but this would still be really helpful for people with extra time on their hands. Sure it takes due diligence to train your ear. I know, I try to get at least an hour of singing and transcribing in every day. However, being I'm a musician I can't afford a car so most of my day is spent on \ bus. I can't just suddenly bust out a high C or whip out my guitar in that situation. Just thinking about how much more efficiently I could improve my ear with this makes me feel excited.

If not, it's another pointless toy (synthesizer quality? what?), and just as detrimental & trick-oriented as other "ear training" tripe. Solfege, a pitch pipe, blank index cards, and your own head - disciplined work will at least get you somehere. WAKE UP. The ONLY magic box is your brain.

Capable of producing exercises across a key? Can it train progressive intervals, meaningful/progressive melodies, chords, inversions & progressions ALL within a single meaningful scale structure automatically?

beautiful melody! hahaha

Oh, ok. Hopefully that is the case. Lol. I'm interested in purchasing it, so I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the response.
When the narrator said A 440 and a note followed, why was it a B flat 4?

It is possible that on your computer the Flash video might be off pitch on your computer, on the PerfecTone Studio it is exactly A 440 (A4).

The form factor of the PerfecTone Ear Training Studio makes it easy and comfortable to hold with one or two hands while practicing anywhere.
