Harmonic Ear Trainer 1.1.1 Now Available

Jon Lay — Sat, 01 May 2010 15:48:21 +0000

The new update for Harmonic Ear Trainer is now available with minor bug fixes and updating for iPhone OS 3.1.3. Existing users can download it for free, and new users can purchase it on iTunes.

Harmonic Ear Trainer Update Submitted

Jon Lay — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 04:48:48 +0000

Another update to the Harmonic Ear Trainer app is complete and has been submitted to Apple for distribution. This update fixes a bug where the app would sometimes crash when switching to the chord trainer. I also tweaked it to comply with iPhone OS 3.0. Unfortunately, that means that it will no longer run on iPhone OS 2.0, so if you want the free update, you’ll need to be running at least iPhone OS 3.1.3. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding this change, and otherwise, you can look for the new version as a free download to existing users within the next week or so.

BrassNotes Now Available

BrassNotes, my interactive fingering chart for brass instruments, is now available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. You can download it on the app store, or find out more information about it here. Also, I’ve slightly redesigned the website with each app getting its own page so the iPhone app page doesn’t get too cluttered. Hopefully this will make it easier to get info on the particular app your looking for. In the meantime, keep sending me suggestions on how I can improve my apps.

I’m currently finishing up my latest app, BrassNotes. This app is an interactive fingering chart for trumpet, french horn, trombone, and tuba. I should be able to complete it and submit it to the app store within the next few weeks, so you can expect it to be available soon after that.

Harmonic Ear Trainer and Sync Points iPhone Apps Submitted

Jon Lay — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 03:46:58 +0000

My first two iPhone apps are complete and have been submitted to Apple for distribution on the App Store. The first, Harmonic Ear Trainer, is a music theory tool that can help you learn to identify intervals, triads, and seventh chords aurally. The second app, Sync Points, is a film composers’ calculator that can determine precise timings, tempo, and beats for synchronization with film, video, or SMPTE timecode. Both apps are currently in review by Apple, and if everything goes smoothly, they should be available on the App Store in a week or so. They are compatible with both the iPhone and iPod touch. Keep your eye on this page for detailed information about both apps as well as links to purchase them on the App Store when they are officially released.
