Bending Trainer

Play → Bending Trainer is a standalone ear-training screen — no song, just the harmonica’s full bend diagram, a metronome, and a pitch tuner, for practicing bends (and overblows/overdraws) in isolation.

The title sits top-left and Back top-right, the same header every other screen uses. Below it, the screen splits into two columns:

• Left — everything but the harmonica, grouped into four sections:
  • Setup — a Key picker and a Detect algorithm picker (which pitch-detection method to use — the same setting Options uses), both dropdowns.
  • Practice Target — the current target readout, a Listen button (plays a synthesized reference tone for it), and a live cents-off tuner readout.
  • Drill — the adaptive Drill toggle; hovering it explains what it does.
  • Tempo — the metronome and its BPM steppers.
• Right — the harmonica: the full bend diagram (every hole’s blow, draw, bend, overblow, and overdraw notes), with its explanatory hint text beneath it.

Picking a target

Click any cell in the bend diagram to make it the current target — its note name appears in the target readout, and Listen plays a clean synthesized reference tone for it so you know exactly what pitch you’re aiming for before you try to bend to it. The cents-off tuner then tells you, live, how far off (and in which direction) the closest pitch you’re actually playing is.

Drill mode

Turn on Drill and Harmonicon picks targets for you, weighted toward ones you haven’t tried yet or have a lower accuracy on — a spaced-practice loop instead of you deciding what to work on. Your hit rate per hole/technique is saved across sessions, so Drill mode gets smarter about what you personally need to practice the longer you use it.

Leaving

There’s no pause menu here (there’s no song to pause) — click Back in the header, or press Esc, to return to the Play menu. Either way your drill progress is saved on the way out.
