EarPower - Copyright (c) 1996 by Nick Baciu @ Fast&Soft.
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
This program has been designed to be used as a daily routine
in improving the natural ear for music.
Music students should know how important ear training
is for their development. Also experienced professionals
still need to stay in shape, especially with the rhythm.
Even those not interested in music should realize that a
"tone-deaf" ear will somehow affect their personality as a
whole.
Easy to use, you don't need to waste time "navigating"
around. Quickly access the four sections: Melody, Rhythm ,
Intervals and Harmony, and perform some drills. On the Melody
section you can select from the menu an instrument or the
microphone for voice training.
It works as a daily "pill", a 10 minutes warm -up
session is quite enough.
___________________________
System requirements :
386SX, 2meg RAM, Windows 3.1 or Win95, VGA video 16 colors,
audible PC Speaker.
(Without a soundcard the following features:
microphone, chords section and harmonic intervals,
will be disabled.
You can still use the program for
melody, rhythm and melodic intervals.)
Recommended :
486DX 33mhz, 8meg RAM, SVGA video 256 colors,
Soundcard, Microphone (condenser or dynamic unidirectional).
Also, if possible, a wavetable has much nicer sounds.
___________________________________
WHAT THIS PROGRAM DOES:
The computer will play random sounds, (melody,
rhythm or harmony), and you are supposed to play back
what you hear.
Use the piano on the screen or select from the menu
(Instrument) either guitar or microphone. (This selection
has effect only when you are in the melody or harmony
section.) Also a MIDI instrument can be used as input
at any time, except when the microphone is selected.
Then your response will be evaluated as correct
or wrong. If correct - the computer will continue with
a next shot, otherwise will wait until you get it right
or press the NEW button.
Select the dificculty level yourself - from Beginner
up to Excellent - or let the computer measure your
skills. For this you should click on the TEST button.
This program will help you determine your musical
abilities and improve them.

*One known little bug: on systems with 256 colours,
in some special situations, this program may become
unable to realize its palette, and all its colours
get distorted.
Try to minimize and maximize it and if this does not
help, close and restart the program.
This thing may be fixed in a future release.
