audio-checker
The aim of auch is to visualize harmonics in musical recordings. Many tools show the spectrum, but this tool focuses on one or two specific octaves with an indication of the tonica (the key) and sub-dominant(IV) and dominant(V). It also supports wavelet transformation and resampling to further analyze and clean-up the recording. This way, notes, chords, and harmonics in a musical piece become more clear. Another feature is that this tool can compare audio output (from a .wav file) with audio input (microphone). This way, external filters added between the audio out and in and the effects of a sound card can be studied.

Tete allows you to select intervals, chords, or scales and play examples of the selected sounds in a random order. As each is played, it is highlighted in the list. Once you think you can tell what is playing, you can test yourself. A series of sounds will be played, again at random, and you attempt to identify what has been played. You can control how each sound is played back by changing the MIDI instrument, the octave range allowable, the root note, and whether the sounds are played ascending or descending.
