Pitch
There are a few specifics to the Pitch test:
- When changing the range in the test's start window, you will not hear the selected note — so that you don't hear a C or B before starting the test.
- When holding down the Option key (alt) while clicking one of the answer buttons, you will hear that note.
- You can toggle the display of halftone steps. Setting # will e.g. display the halftone step between F and G as F#, setting b as Gb. This doesn't affect the sound output.

Tip:
You can also use this test as an additional way to practice intervals:
- Start the test.
- Find the first played note (e.g. by clicking the answer buttons while holding down the Option key).
- From there go relatively to the next note (i.e. as an ascending or descending interval).
Example:
- The first note gets played.
- You find out that it is an E and click the E button.
- The next note gets played.
- You recognize it as a major third (ascending) in relation to the note played before (the E).
- You calculate the current note to be a G#.
- Click the G# button.
-
(continue at step 3)
This way you can simultaneously practice the theory.
