Note Pierce
Ear & rhythm training that lives in your browser
What it does
Turn a few minutes of doom scrolling or surfing the web into ear training. Note Pierce lives in your browser for quick, active practices. Train intervals, chords, scales, progressions, inversions, and rhythm through listening, tapping, and interactive drills. Build custom exercises, and review weak spots with spaced practice tailored for you. Explore sounds on a piano, realistic guitars, and many others. Progress through 160 levels with 10 themes and 50+ languages. Data stays on your device.
Ear training in your browser: intervals, chords, scales, progressions, inversions and rhythm across 160 levels, with spaced repetition review and real guitar sounds.
Taking a break? About to open another feed? Open a drill instead, or keep Note Pierce beside you while you browse. Ten questions take a few minutes, and those small sessions add up. Every module is a ladder. Start with the fundamentals and gradually move into more advanced harmony, interval recognition and rhythm training. Chord qualities first, then harmony that keeps getting denser. Choose the notation, tap along, or tap a bar back from memory. Two intervals you keep confusing. One rhythm that never lands. Pick exactly the material, root, direction, octave range, tempo, exercise mode, and more — then save it as “Modes I confuse” and come back whenever you need it.

Hi HN, I've been taking guitar lessons and one thing that is recommended to most musicians is ear training - where two different notes are played and you must identify the number of steps between the notes. My app, Earbuilder, should help with that process. You can find it here: http://www.earbuilder.com/ It's my first web app, and my first real foray into JavaScript. You can take a look at the source and you'll see that it's pretty poorly structured, but I've picked up a book and hopefully things will improve with my second web application. Please let me know if you have any comments,…

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
