In interval training, how do I change the key and root?

Post by stocklera1 » Feb 20, 2016 10:17 am

I'm trying to do interval training, but I'm stuck in the key of C with C as the root for all of the intervals it's generating. I see the little logo on middle C on the keyboard, does that indicate the key/root or is that just there to indicate middle C?

Either way, let's say I want to start identifying intervals in the key of A, or in the key of A, but a different mode (i.e. with a different note as the root)? How can I get out of the key of C?

Thanks!

Hi,

To do that, select "Customized Activity" as training mode in the welcome screen, then, when setting up your exercise, select "User defined" for the "Transposition" option and click on "Edit...". You will then be able to select the keys or roots used in the exercise among other things.
