Well, as of today that's no longer the case! The main options that you set every time are now stored in a cookie so I can recover them on your next visit. I've become used to that and whenever I return to my online ear training application, it feels tedious to always have to set the key center, the play mode, and some of the other basic options. UPDATE 4/10/10 - My iPhone ear training application, Play By Ear, saves the various settings after you use the ear trainer. I also tried to fix some of the Mac OSX audio issues, but my research and tinkering suggests that the Java runtime's MIDI sequencer isn't reliable on Macs right now, especially with the long sequences generated by the RSection tab. For example, if you select one of the "Mixed." options under the RSection "Randomization" menu, it will generate a single sequence that includes random keys and progression types like "C7 Eb-7 F Bb-7b5" etc. There's a new jazz blues progression on the RSection tab and you can now generate random chord progressions of mixed chord types. I added dozens of scale patterns to the random melody feature. UPDATE 1/24/12 - Random melodies no longer repeat notes sequentially unless you only have two notes to choose from. Also, Mac users with Java version 7 or above will now use a higher-quality MIDI soundbank. UPDATE 10/25/12 - The ear training tool now saves most (if not all) of the settings from your previous session, so you won't have to re-check your interval, chord, etc options every time you use the ear trainer. UPDATE 3/10/13 - Random melodies now includes diminished and altered scale options.
