Description
New version! Completely rebuilt from the ground up to include highly requested features such as volume control, chords, and pitch adjustment.
Drone Tone Tool is an app created by professional musicians and music educators providing high quality reference pitches with the rich overtones of real cellos. We encourage musicians of all abilities to experience the benefits of reference tone practice!
Why real cello drones?
There are many electronic tone generators, and while they are better than nothing, they lack complexity of overtones and can be painful to listen to. Our cello drones are pleasing to the ear, rich in overtones and contain layered octaves to facilitate practice in all registers.
Purpose and benefit of reference/drone tones:
A reference (or drone) tone provides a center of harmonic stability. Our ears are able to discern the way that multiple pitches interact while strengthening our internal sense of pitch. By playing with a movable pitch (instrument or voice) relative to a fixed pitch (drone tone) we can start to perceive truly consonant perfect intervals, and 'shades' or 'colors' within Major/Minor intervals. This heightened awareness of relative pitch leads to artistry through intonation.
What’s New
Version 2.2.1
Resolved an issue where the app would not produce sound while the silent switch was on. Tones will now play even when the silent switch is on!
Ratings and Reviews
Will change once updated
Love the idea. However the app is non functional on the latest iOS. (I’m running 17.6.1). Please fix!
Developer Response ,
Sorry! We have just released a new version which resolves an issue where playback was not working with the silent switch set to "on". Should be fixed now!
Now working with IOS 17.6.1
I just paid for this upgrade from the free “lite” version, and it does not work at all with IOS 17.6.1.
Developer Response ,
Fixed! We had an issue with the previous version of the app where it would not produce sound when the silent switch set to "on". We have just released a new version which resolves that issue. Sorry for the poor experience with the previous version, give the latest version a try!
