Setting up exercises

Which settings affect the exercises – and which ones deliberately don't exist.

Web + app

The exercises in cori adapt to you by themselves: vocal exercises are transposed into your voice part, and cori factors out the delay of your audio output so that your timing is scored fairly. This page gathers up what you can adjust along the way.

No starting note, no tempo

There is no manual setting for the starting note or tempo of an individual exercise – cori picks both automatically from your vocal range and from the exercise itself.

The two calibrations

Both sit at the very top of the learning path, above the branch in question:

  • In the Voice branch, your most recently measured vocal range, along with a button to repeat the test.
  • In the Rhythm branch, your personal tap calibration. Using a short tap-along round (about seven seconds, no microphone) it measures how much your audio output lags – particularly important with Bluetooth headphones.

How each of them works and when cori suggests a new one by itself is covered in detail under Calibrating your vocal range and rhythm.

When to measure again?

Measure again if exercises consistently feel too high or too low, or if your rhythm scores are worse than they feel. cori often notices both by itself and suggests a new measurement – at most once every three days.

App only

Under Settings›Practice Mode you'll additionally find Audio Sync (which measures via the microphone how much your device delays playback – for that, unplug your headphones, find a quiet spot and turn the volume all the way up), the Headphone Timing Offset for Bluetooth, and the stored value of your tap calibration, which you can also reset to “Automatic” there.

Display settings

App only

Also under Settings›Practice Mode you set how much cori shows you. It doesn't change the scoring:

  • Show musical notation – “Draw the rhythm as notes on a staff above the lane.”
  • Show the notes – “Draw the notes on a staff in listening exercises, with a ? where the answer goes.”
  • Note names in ear training – “Show scale degrees as numbers (1–7) instead of interval names.”

In the browser these three settings apply with their default values; there's currently no way to change them there.

The overview: the learning path at the heart of it, plus sing-along, audio analysis and challenges — and which of those work in the browser and in the app.

The learning path

How the training path is built: shared first steps, then three branches with units and steps — and how you unlock it step by step.

Ear, rhythm, voice

The three branches of the learning path compared: what each one trains, the order things unlock in, and where you need a microphone.

How a practice round works

From the first question to the reward: task types, score, stars and which XP gets credited at the end.
