From: tholland@pars.skidmore.EDU (Anthony Holland) Subject: New Music Ear Training Software for NeXT - Audio Challenger 1.0
"Announcing the release of "AUDIO CHALLENGER 1.0"
"Audio Challenger 1.0" is the first ear-training software released
for the NeXT computer. Audio Challenger randomly generates ascending
and descending melodic musical intervals which can be used in
assisting music students in trying to improve their ability to
aurally identify musical intervals. Audio Challenger features
real-time synthesis on the DSP (digital signal processing) chip of
the NeXT computer which gives it the advantage of a more natural and
"lively" musical timbre than ear-training programs that currently
exist on other platforms. Audio Challenger is released as FREEware
to the internet archives by the researchers and students of DREAMS:
Digital Research (in) Electro-Acoustic Music (at) Skidmore College.
"Audio Challenger 1.0" is currently at the following archive sites:
