PedalPoint

Type in a melody, a bass line, or harmonies. Match your playing to the sound of the App. Move on hands-free using your Bluetooth pedal.

As simple as that, PedalPoint is the most effective way to practice intonation. For the first time, musicians can practice alone how to play with others. If you are a beginner, take your first steps with a controlled play-along. If you are a professional, elevate your technique by creating exercises that support your warm-up routine. Deepen your harmonic intuition by playing your melody in its harmonic context. Master the difficulties of contemporary music, like quarter tones or spectral music. Get familiar with a historic tuning system and much more!

You can choose a sound from 15 different instruments. The sound is created from real instruments (not MIDI). PedalPoint is the only App that provides drones with a natural sound, while its intonation is clean and algorithmically stabilised. You can freely choose your concert pitch (e.g. A = 443 Hz), and you can use PedalPoint in any desired transposition (e.g. in B flat). Save your exercises within the app or share them to your friends and colleagues.

To use the App hands-free while playing, it is necessary to have a bluetooth pedal (page turner). Any device that sends a key stroke (→) to your iPad will be compatible. PedalPoint is not a tuner, it cannot register your playing. Instead use worlds finest tuner: your ears!

PedalPoint provides full control over the intonation of every note. You can use different tuning systems, like equal temperament, Pythagorean tuning, or a historic tuning system. Further each note can be fine-tuned according to its harmonic function, by ear or by its cent value. This makes PedalPoint a powerful tool to manage intonation in complex harmonic situations – theoretical knowledge is not required.

Let intonation be your intuition!
