●Simon sings. Not says●
A new style voice training game appears! The “VoiceSimon” listens player’s song and know apart twelve pitches, while the original Simon has four buttons to push. This difference brings to the “VoiceSimon” new feature as an excellent voice training game suitable to people who want to brush up singing skill by themselves.

●How to play●
Choose the play mode and lovely bird characters teach what to sing and when to start. Listen the presentation and repeat after him. Soon after you vocalize, result of the analysis and comments (e.g.: “cool” ”good”) for each notes. You finish repeating, the next presentation starts. It is almost as same, but just one beat longer. At first, it’s not so difficult to remember the melody. But you shouldn’t think too easy because the teachers are so strict that they declare “Game Over” for only a single mistake, if it is beyond the acceptable range. No mercy.
In order to get the high score, keep concentrated to keep all notes in your brain and avoid repeating mistakes you barely escape the failure last time.

●Birth story of the App●
In winter of 2012, Two App developers got hooked on karaoke and went to karaoke box together. They considered about taking voice training, their schedule note and wallet ask them not to do so. They search for some useful apps for self-training, but failed to find good one. And Marie Antoinette said, “If we dont have Apple cake, let us bake Apple cake!” There was no hesitation in the decision that they dedicate their fruits of research of FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) technology. Spent half a year, they were allowed to complete a game application.

●The secret of effective self-training●
Introduction of the tuned-up FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) accelerate the exact pitch measurement in 1/100 seconds. The result is expressed as a line on the screen instantly. It seems simple, but contains rich amount of information about your singing skill. You can read the answer of questions such as:
-Whether this pitch is correct? If “no”, how much too high or low?
-What is my specific pattern of pitch mistakes?
-I tried to raise the pitch a little this time, but I wonder if it worked.
Those instantaneous feedback means it is given while your short-time memory about the pitch you heard or the state of your vocal cords is still kept. In addition to the technology issue, the common rule of Simon is suitable to the training. As repeating same melodies again and again, your learn how to control vocalization.
Furthermore it’s not a tedious and iterative method. We also pursue the fun of the single-player music video game itself. So you don’t have to take risks to be humiliated in front of friends or lesson fellows. Just enjoy and aim at high scores. Competition with players around the world may strongly inspire your motivation.
