- I think you're looking for AudioChallenger (in sonata.cc.purdue.edu,
- in pub/next/submissions). From the README file:
-
- "Audio Challenger 1.0" was the first ear-training software released
- for the NeXT computer and version 1.7 offers substantial
- improvements.
-
- Audio Challenger randomly generates ascending
- and descending melodic and harmonic 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.
