It would probably be useful to put requests for features to be added to future EarMaster releases into a central place. So here goes:

It would be great to be able to associate chords to scales and vice-versa.

So the question would be a chord, and the answer an appropriate scale sharing the root. Or scale the question, chord the answer. Show answer would play both together. Play your answer would play your answer against the question.

Of course, this could get a little tricky since, arguably, D sus b9 could be D phrygian or D phrygian #6, etc. It's not one to one. Probably have to let the user set these associations up by checking relationships off in a matrix or using dropdown lists or something.

It's an interesting idea but is it more theory than training the ear? :strange:

What about a tuning exercise?

A Perfect Octave or a Perfect Unison is played either melodic or harmonic, but the notes are not in tune.

You may be asked to correct the top note or the bottom note, and you have to find out if it's sharp or flat and tune it.

Good point, Waigin. Maybe a little of both. For me, working on the move from reading music while being lazy with my ear more into the jazz way of hearing music, I need a lot of this sort of practice to hear the chords coming out of a particular scale, instead of thinking them.

It's probably better for me to track down some sequencing software to play chords and scales for this sort of work, instead of trying to convince the great people at EarMaster to make it into a monster that does everything ala Microsoft Office. :--D

They might have some softwares who do that. I'm looking for something to slow down the music. I'm looking for a machine not a software and they have many on the market. I don't know which one is good or not. I know nobody using that.

Which instrument do you play?

This is what you need right here. A friend of mine has one and it's amazing. I plan on getting one myself. They make different styles for different instruments so I've been told. Either way, check it out, for the money it's a steal.

Jazz Guitar Online has a comparison of a couple of tempo shifters. The main website is here. (Yuck, frames. 8-| )

My teacher emphasizes it's important to not get too dependent on slowing things down, to work on as much real time transcription as possible. I'm glad I have access to slowdown tech, though!

I will check it out. I don`t want to depend on those things but it`s a good thing to have one. my teacher it`s 20 years he`s teaching and plus for many years and sometimes he`s using one, specialy when it`s very fast

Waigin · Post by **Waigin** » 06 Aug 2005, 13:46

I`ll check it out and it's for a bass. Is it working with a guitar too?

Waigin · Post by **Waigin** » 10 Aug 2005, 13:40

I found another one with the same brand for guitar. It's look good. I might buy one.

You are welcome to post feature requests. They will not be off topic in the existing rooms.

We will of course consider dedicating a room for feature request - or other dedicated rooms - if the volume of the existing rooms makes it necessary :--D

Something bugs me. After I finish to do an exercice, the software ask me if I want to continue or exit the exercice. When you exit because you don't want to continue with this one and you want to go work on rythms. The software go automaticaly on custom exercices instead to stay on what it was. It should stay on the choice we did until we change it about the tutor (standard, jazz, custom). it's just an idea

Waigin · Post by **Waigin** » 25 Sep 2005, 13:47

We can use 2 touchs on the keyboard to do the rythm. specially when you use to play drum, snare, percussion. It could be an option we can selected

it would be a good idea to have an option to turn off the sound of the note while entering notes in the melody dication area. i'm finding myself "cheating" and just matching the pitches i hear instead of remembering them and entering the notes according to that...
