Tete is an open source ear trainer. Ear training involves learning to recognise how different combinations of notes sound. It is useful for musicians to allow them to distinguish between the different combinations of notes that make up music.
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 believe 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, root note, and whether the sounds are played ascending or descending. You can also adjust the length of the notes and the extent to arpeggio the playback.
