TonalEnergy 2.0 Update (iOS) Suggestion
Hey #SmileyFaceFam!!!
Hopefully by now you’ve either updated your TonalEnergy app or plan to update your iOS device to the latest TonalEnergy 2.0!
We are excited about ALL of the new features in this update! Some of the update features COMPLEMENT and improve on existing features (ie Improving the Auto-Tone Tracker or adding faster access to the vibrato features) or are COMPLETELY NEW to the app (like the IntervalTrainer in the Analysis Page, the Auto-Exercise Creator and MANY more!).
With our latest update and new and improved website (yay!), we plan on discussing the new update features HERE on the Blog page! So be sure to bookmark and save this page!
It will take some time to get through all of the new features and I’m sure that you have already stumbled on a few as well. OUR best suggestion is as you continue through your regular practice and discover something new, EXPLORE the new content and see how it may work with your normal practice flow. Some of the best learning experiences happen from simply TAPPING and trying new buttons out!
If you need help, feel free to reach out to us by email at support@tonalenergy.com or through our Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter pages!
True Story - we found a bug 🐛 in the new update when two of the #SmileyFaceFam reached out on the Facebook page to let us know that something was off! THANKS BY THE WAY!
In our next Blog Post, we will be discussing a brand new TE feature - the Auto-Exercise Creator! You may have seen it already on the Tone Page. It is on the lower right side of the screen and is shows a quarter note on a staff with up and down arrows.(see image below) Try it out!
Again - we are EXCITED about the new update and all of the different ways you will be able to use the new features to compliment your practice! Stay tuned for more!!!
Until next time - STAY SMILEY!!!
