A new version of Xentone microtonal ear trainer is released today. This update features an exciting new user contracted feature called Dynamic Xone Arrays, with which you can flexibly and quickly arrange arbitrary scales in dynamic arrays of buttons for practice and testing. This comes in handy when you want to train your ears to distinguish between tones that would otherwise fall onto the same Xone button in the default array, for example the tones 10/9 and 11/10. If you want to get your ears in tune, there is simply no other software like this; download it and try it out. Single-user, multi-user, and site licenses are available for very reasonable rates.

Custom Scale Editor also gets an update today, to fix a few bugs and improve MIDI performance. CSE has been around for many years now and is a popular utility for creating scales in any tuning, with all kinds of tools at your disposal. It works seamlessly with the Tuning Box TBX1, but you don't have to own a box, or even a software license, to use it. The license turns the software Pro, enhancing some features and opening up MIDI features that allow real time retuning. Find out more here.
