DroneTone Lite 2.2.1

Drone Tone Tool is an application developed by professional musicians and music educators, offering high-quality reference pitches that mimic the rich overtones of authentic cellos. Musicians of all skill levels are encouraged to explore the advantages of practicing with reference tones.

Why choose authentic cello drones?

• While electronic tone generators serve a purpose, they often lack the intricate complexity of overtones found in real instruments and can be displeasing to the ear. The cello drones provided offer a pleasant listening experience, are abundant in overtones, and feature layered octaves to support practice across all musical ranges.

Purpose and benefits of utilizing reference/drone tones:

• A reference (or drone) tone establishes a foundation of harmonic stability. By exposing our ears to the interactions of multiple pitches, we enhance our internal pitch perception. Through playing alongside a movable pitch (instrument or voice) in relation to a fixed pitch (drone tone), we begin to recognize genuinely harmonious perfect intervals and distinguish nuances within Major/Minor intervals. This heightened sensitivity to relative pitch contributes to artistic expression through precise intonation.
