Tried the rhythm trainer : it feels weird, some rhythms (the cuban claves for example) seem wrong. Also the metronome doesn't sync with the rhythm, which makes it quite hard to differentiate offbeats from quarter note for example.

I like the UI though, and the omnipresence of the metronome is cool.

Noted. I'll take a look. The visual-audio syncing I do want to be pretty tight. I'll be adding to and fixing the examples there, right now only a handful at the moment. Good find.

Nice job. Very clean interface.

Consider adding a playback feature for the chord progressions as well as the musical modes, so people who are unfamiliar with certain ones can get a feel for how they sound.

Also any particular reason for naming it after the FF6 yeti? :)

That’s a great suggestion thank you. I agree that would be helpful, will work on getting that in when I get a chance.

Hah, and nothing too deep aside from listening to some OSTs recently, being winter, and overall just struck a chord.
