Tone Generator is an application written in Java designed for musicians or people interested in some basic properties of sound waves. It creates sounds based on sine waves which are optionally composed of many sound-waves or harmonics. See below for instructions.
The application was originally designed with a musical training use in mind. It works very well as a drone-creating device to be used while warming up. I use it regularly and it has great effects. If you're familiar with the Tuning Tactics program, you'll understand the benefits of practicing with a drone, and not just a sine wave, but a complex sound, which this program excels at creating. Some example warm-ups will be coming shortly, but for now, an easy way to get started is
You may notice that it is easier to use the Tone Generator with headphones if your speakers aren't loud enough for you to blend your sound with the tones. If you use very good headphones, you may want to put one ear higher on your head, so you can hear your beautiful, in-tune sound. A short walk-through explaining all the elements of the program is coming soon, but it shouldn't be too difficult to figure it out on your own through the age-old art of tinkering. Happy Tone Generating! If you would like to contact me, just mail me, or, as a more reliable method, call me. Of course, my phone number isn't on this web-site, so you'll have to ask someone I know (or be someone I know) to get it.
