Ear Training VII - Echoing Three Randomly Generated Notes

echo3.jpg

In this month’s ear training exercise I have added one more note to the chain to make a total of three notes that will be played in a row. I do not find this change to be a great deal more difficult than the previous exercise but it does feel as though it is exercising my ear in a slightly different way. That is, it takes a bit of extra focus to remember a chain of three notes instead of two. Sometimes I will be so focused on determine the last note in the chain that I will forget the sound of the first one.

You can see me play this exercise here and download the code for it here. To use the code, simply open the code in Supercollider, select the Language tab, and click ‘evaluate file’.
