First thought I had - I never thought that one can bend harmonica (I used to play it as a child and found it quite impossible). Since that time I have no usable harmonica in my home. Another thought I had - I'll test it on learning violin vibrato.
And when I tried it - WOW! This software has very good responsiveness and those rectangles show tune in really clear way. It turns playing musical instrument into some sort of game which objective is "just keep in the middle of all squares". I've just used it to exercise violin piece and it's really helpful in showing me when I'm playing out of tune.
Great help! Thanks!
Could you please add 'no-screen-fadeoff' patch on android? It seems that I have to manually wake up phone every few seconds (depends on phone settings). Also manipulating scale to show lower G would be terrific, however I understand this is not intended for violin playing...
Thank you so much for the kind words – I’m really happy to hear you found it helpful, even for violin!
Let’s Bend was originally designed to support harmonica bending practice, but the idea of using the "stay in the square" feedback as a pitch visualizer for other instruments is incredibly exciting. It’s great to see it working in real musical contexts!
Just to address your points:
There’s already a *“Keep screen on”* toggle in the app settings – enabling it should prevent Android from turning off the screen during use.
You can also *change the root key and tuning system* in the settings. While the interface is still harmonica-focused, this makes the app more flexible – including for lower pitches like a violin's low G.
I’m genuinely grateful for your feedback and enthusiasm – and thanks for trying the app in such a creative way!
