PitchBop Pro 2.3

PitchBop is an innovative ear training application intended to enhance the connection between your musical ear and your instrument performance by directly correlating skill level with performance accuracy.

What Sets PitchBop Apart

Different from traditional ear training apps where responses are given through screen taps devoid of rhythmic elements, PitchBop offers a performance-oriented experience where you listen and play on your instrument or utilize your voice.

Through the 'Call and Response' mechanism, Dr. Bop, the esteemed jazz cat of PitchBop, presents a brief musical phrase for you to listen to, allowing you the same duration to replicate the phrase back for assessment of your accuracy.

How PitchBop Operates

Beneath its user-friendly interface lies a sophisticated AI-based algorithm that generates endless melodies and dynamically adjusts difficulty levels according to your progress.

Utilizing the 'Call and Response' structure, Dr. Bop plays a brief phrase for listening before affording you the opportunity to reproduce it within the designated time frame for evaluation. Feedback on your performance is then provided post-session, with difficulty levels calibrated based on your progress to enable focused practice without manual adjustments.

Addendum to Game Instructions Before Commencing

1. Mind the Octave: Ensure responses match Dr. Bop’s octave in order to yield accurate assessment results.
Example: In level 1, starting notes are specified for instruments like piano and guitar.
2. Rhythmic Precision: Acknowledge the significance of rhythm in game dynamics as deviations may impact scoring.
If challenges seem daunting, begin with slider adjustments or adapt range settings for comfort.
3. Bluetooth and External Devices: PitchBop optimally utilizes device microphones/speakers due to compatibility concerns with external accessories. Bluetooth support is slated for a forthcoming update.
