Description
Innovative Practice Tools brings you Dr. Drone, a simple, affordable and powerful practice tool. Dr. Drone gives you the freedom to create your own bass lines, chord sequences and drone tracks and set them to a metronome. It opens whole new avenues of practicing for professionals, pedagogues, ensembles and students. It will become your favorite tool for developing great intonation and stability.
- Want to prep for a specific piece? Enter a bass line to your favorite tune, or enter a melody using either note names, scale degrees or solfege syllables in an intuitive entry pad.
- Need more time to lock in each pitch? Vary the tempo between 40 and 500 BPM (because why not?), set each drone from 1 to 60 seconds, or select "Tap to Advance" Mode to tune along at your own pace. Heads up: "Tap to Advance" is compatible with your favorite Bluetooth pedal, or anything that can send arrow or enter key signals to your device!
- Trying to expand your range and stability? Dr. Drone will repeat sequences and can transpose them in a number of patterns (transpose the sequence around the Circle of 4ths, move up chromatically, etc.)
- Want to practice tuning within a chord? Add a Perfect 5th, Major 3rd or Minor 3rd to your drone (using just intonation) to practice fitting your sound right into the harmony.
- Want to tune to custom chords? Create your own voicings with up to 10 pitches in "Chord Entry" mode.
- Toggle between Just Temperament and Equal Temperament.
- Got some 'go-to' exercises or warm-ups? Save and organize your tunes along with their settings for repeated use.
- Need to practice for your next orchestra gig that requires A443, or your next baroque service that calls for A420? Easily adjust your Concert Pitch A to be ready for any intonation situation.
- And if you really want a challenge, Dr. Drone includes a feature that allows you to randomly silence beats for the ultimate test of time and pitch independence.
From classical to jazz and from pop to gospel, this app is perfect for serious musicians and music educators who want to have a steady and flexible reference drone. Its sleek design, friendly features, and video tutorials will have you using it like a pro in no time. Welcome to the 21st century of intonation practice with Dr. Drone!

- Added "solfege mode". Functions the same as "scale degree mode", but... uses solfege syllables! Aural Skills students rejoice!
- Bug Fix: When repeating using a transposing pattern, the selected octave "range" is adhered to again!

- Tap Mode. Play the next (or previous) pitch when you tap (instead of relying on beats or seconds).
- In Tap Mode, you can use any Bluetooth device (foot pedal, wireless keyboard, whatever) that sends key press data. This way, you don't need to be tied to your phone/tablet to move through your sequence. Check out the video tutorials on how to set this up!
- A handful of non-pitch based metronome clicks are now available in the sound options. More cowbell, anybody?
- Simple Keyboard Entry: Now you can enter single pitches using a full length piano keyboard. This increases the overall range of possible drones (all the way down to a useless 3Hz if you transpose the lowest A all the way down :)
- Chord Entry: Similar to Simple Keyboard, but with the added ability of selecting up to 10 simultaneous pitches. Watch the video tutorial to get some pointers on how best to use this mode!
- In line with the new Chord Entry mode, the ability to switch between just and equal temperaments has been added to the sound options panel. For just intonation to work right, while in chord entry mode, long press the pitch that will serve as the root of your chord. It will turn orange. The just intervals will be calculated from that root. When you use equal temperament, the root is ignored (though you can still set it).
- Transposition is now reflected in the displayed pitches. The background of the note display turns blue and increases in intensity the larger the transposition is.
- If Dr. Drone is closed down (via device reboot or app shutdown), when it restarts, it will automatically open your last opened/saved set.

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
- Folder system implemented. Organize your tracks as you wish!
- Sharing implemented. To share a track or entire folder's contents with another user, touch the [Folder] icon on the home screen and touch the [Share] icon (looks like an arrow) for any folder or track. To open the shared track or folder, simply open the shared file on another device that has Dr. Drone. The app will open and take care of the rest!
- Backup storage implemented. In the [Settings] menu, [Backup File System] is now available.
- Metronome and Drone attack envelope synchronized (to avoid a sense of jitter on a drone's attack)

Force of Gravity,
Love this Drone App ! Many nice features!
I use drones quite often - myself and in with students. While this drone does not produce wonderful, warm tones as some live sampled apps do, they are adequate and the app is very versatile....the sequencing section is a fantastic addition! One thing that I’d love to see added to sequencing features is the ability to play a series of drone notes harmonized diatonically (in addition to playing parallel perfect 5ths, Major thirds, etc). I’m not sure how much trouble that would be but it would make a very nice app much stronger! Overall, the app has been nice addition to the tools that I like to use! Glad that I found this one!
Kgmdoxie,
Awesome practice tool!
Best app on my phone! I play trumpet. Whenever I’m in my car I buzz different patterns on my lead pipe. Blue tooth my phone to the stereo and I can match pitches with the app. Takes seconds to write out simples two measure patterns and the app transposes them in time with a pause in between. Awesome!!
Skyler L. H.,
Great app one big bug
App does just about everything I want it to buy there is one big bug that really needs to be fixed. Every time my phone is interrupted by anything like a phone call or alarm, the drone will not start up again. I will click the start button and there will be no sound. I have to restart the app to make it work again. Really annoying for an app this good to have a terrible bug like this.
ASU Bass Trombone,
Highly Recommend!
This new application on the iTunes Store is absolutely amazing! You can make your own drone sequences, and you can even transpose them with a click of a button! I highly recommend!
Presbiopia,
Great !!
Thanks. You really nailed it with your new version. Couldn’t be better…unless you maybe added a random tone generator. That could help align your mind with your instrument.
lafidel,
Exceptional app
This app is a wonder and essential for musician. Unlike a tuner with Dr. Drone you concentrate on the aural aspect ; not the visual. Dr. Drone has become an essential tool for my warm up routine - scales patterns, long tones, Well worth you time!
NoteAmused,
Good, could be great
Firstly, I really like this app.
If you added these features I would love it (and would use it much more):
1) show the new, transposed note names instead of the original notes when using the transpose function
2) add a switch in the startup section to open the last used tune instead of having to navigate through folders to reopen it.
3) allow background playback (when switching to other apps, or on screen-lock)
Otherwise, still a really nice tool. Thank you!

bassedcello,
Great app for tuning outside of a piece
Super useful for practicing intonation in isolation. I unfortunately cannot find a way to set rhythms or at least different numbers of beats for each note or chord to create a drone that moves with you in context.
jocantoran,
Dr Drone
Being able to program sequences of pitches and intervals makes this app much more helpful than a regular drone. Fantastic tool!
mor-on,
This is
Great for learning to hear and play in tune. It would be better, if I can change the length of the notes and chords on any given setup.
