Timing training software

[doggit]

I am currently doing research into timing training for musicians. I'm looking for musicians who would be interested in downloading and testing some free timing training software, and then filling in a very short online survey (16 point-and-click questions). Downloads and more information available here on my site:

Thanks, and please pass the link on to anyone who might be interested.

I'd welcome any feedback on the software. Anyone?

Doggit:

Sounds like a good project. I'll be taking a look at it, probably later today.

Downloaded the app to my Mac and spent some time with it today. Here's what I wrote at the end of the survey:

Mini-manual should be a little less "mini" -- it would help to have a more complete explanation of the concepts involved, some practical examples of its usage to achieve specific goals, etc.

Also, as far as the interface goes, would like to have a numeric stepper widget for the tempo box, and a lot more control for what's going on the pattern section. Right now, the relationship between difficulty, standard, and pattern is a bit obscure.

It's genuinely interesting and has the potential to be very useful. Hope you keep working on it.

Will try this tomorrow, as it's pretty darn late right now over here.

@Mr.Matti - it's only a prototype at this stage, but hopefully once I'm done with the studying I can put some time into the UI and usability. The difficulty slider should probably have been named differently, but I couldn't come up with anything suitable. It's only a very rough indication of difficulty, and should probably have been called 'Variations', or something.

A big thank you to everyone who has tried the software and completed the survey. I've received some really useful feedback and suggestions, I might even look into turning this into something professional once the studies are done. I'm going to leave the site up and the survey open for a few days in case there are any late comers.
