Hello,

I'm quite new to PD and also new on this Forum.
I want to make an Ear Training Program.

I want to make 2 following random notes. In the program I want to make a multiple choice window ( 8 Choices) and i should see if the answer is wrong or right.

Did someone already make an Ear Training Program?
If not, can someone make a quite simple thing so I can learn from it?
If you don't have an idea what i mean look at this site:

Greetings,

I knocked together a quick example for you. It doesn't have all the features of the site you linked to, but it should be enough to get you started.

It chooses and plays a random note from a two octave range, then plays another note within one octave a second later. It then stores the interval and compares it to your answer, and outputs "Correct" or "Incorrect" to the main Pd window.

Also, it has 12 choices instead of eight; minor2nd to octave.

Hope this helps you out. Let me know if you don't understand why I did something the way I did.

OK, maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but I don't know how to add attachments, so I uploaded it to Filedropper.

There should be an attachment field with a Browse... button under the message you typed in. But it's only there if you post by clicking "Post Reply." It doesn't work with the quick post at the bottom of the thread.

Gotcha. Thanks Maelstorm.

Here's the patch as an attachment then.

thx for the reactions!

but... i didn't use synths yet so I'm quite confused what you are exactly doing.
also this ''inside'' boxes are confusing. I guess already a bit too hard for me.
I made something different
I think I don't want to make an Invertrainer anymore but an Instrument Recognizer.

Now I made a quite easy 1 with MIDI (used SimpleSynth)

I'd like to know how u can get audio files in.
Some example for the Instrument Recognize Test:
Take 10 different instruments ( Guitar, Violian, Contrabass, Altviolin, Trumpet, Bassoon etc. )
U hear 1, and you have to guess what it is.
In the end I'd like to have each instrument with 3 different sounds ( depends on how many audio files I got for each instrument)

Also I'd like to have a counter Inside the PD screen and I want to see if your wrong or right ( also inside the PD screen)

Take my attachment as a really simple example.

I'd really like to know guys;)

Dude, patience. It's a little early to be bumping your post (less than 24 hours).

For your purposes, using [readsf~] to read sound files from disk should be fine. But if you plan on repitching the sounds, you'll want to load them into arrays using [soundfiler] and read them back with [tabread4~]. Take a look at their help files and the "B" group of patches in Help browser->3.audio.examples to get an idea on how to use them.

For counters, there's the [counter] object in extended, or you could build one pretty easily. Take a look at 2.control.examples->05.counter.pd to see how.

Hi there...

I almost finished my patch :D:D Done it with Readsf
but the only problem i have is that i don't have enough room in my PD screen.
Is there an easy way to make more room?

you want to take entire sections of code and put them inside subpatches by creating a subpatch object (with any name) i.e. [pd NAME-OF-SUBPATCH] use the [inlet]/[inlet~] and [outlet]/[outlet~] objects to hook wires in and out of them. then you will have saved space in your main window.

typically, put bits of code that represent a certain function or algorithm into subs. and don't be afraid of making subpatches within subpatches within subpatches e.t.c.
