XENTONE
THE MICROTONAL EAR TRAINER
Xentone is an ear training program for Mac OSX and Windows uniquely designed to teach all the tones in the musical spectrum, not just those found on a piano keyboard. Become intimately familiar with the strange, exotic world of microtones. Strengthen conventional aural skills, broaden understanding of musical intonation, and increase appreciation for the astonishing expressive power of the pitch dimension in music. Explore pitches, intervals, chords, notation, and melodies. A concise summary of the H-System is included.
