Back to Middle C

You’ve heard of "Ear Training"

This is "Eye Training."

It’s Good to be a Beginner Again

A cut at 130 Hz is just a number. Most screens leave it that way.

On a keyboard it’s the C one octave below middle C, and you can put your finger on it.

Once the number has a key, the move has a place. You can hear it land, see where, and make the next move on purpose.

The kit comes with:

1. Eighty-eight key Virtual Keyboard that plays right in your browser
2. The frequency of every key shown as you play it. Press a key, hear the note, see its MIDI number
3. With "Overtones On" see the harmonic structure Right On the Keyboard!
4. Then find the range each tone sits in on the fold-out frequency map
5. Locate the tonal bands with your favorite EQ plugin
6. A session log utility to help you learn to log events that happen during your creative sessions

Try our Virtual Keyboard, it runs in your Browser, nothing is sent to us.

Most people learn to read a keyboard long before they learn to name a note by ear.

This booklet uses that: it puts every frequency on a key you can see and point to.
