About Speedshifter

Designed for musicians, Speedshifter is a practice tool that enables you to adjust the speed of any audio track without altering the pitch. It is perfect for musical, slow practice to a recorded accompaniment. Developed by ABRSM (the exam board of the Royal Schools of Music), it can be used with any compatible track in your music library* to help you learn new pieces.


Speedshifter can also be used to:
- listen closely to tricky pieces you’re finding particularly hard to learn by slowing them down
- focus on specific sections using the loop function
- transpose a track up or down in semitones to fit with a preferred key or range
- set a reference tempo (BPM) by tapping in time with a track
- store tapped BPM and loop points automatically (once you’ve registered)
- sync BPM and loop settings seamlessly across devices once you’ve downloaded the free desktop version (http://www.abrsm.org/speedshifter)
- sound a tuning note – simply shake for an A!


* Important info
- Speedshifter Android currently supports playback of MP3, OGG, FLAC and WAV files stored on your device. It cannot access files stored online in cloud accounts.
- Before downloading please try Speedshifter Lite, our free version, to check it runs well on your device.

After months of working with this app to practice for Music Development Program repertoire, I became weary of having to tap many times to set the initial BPM, only to have the program choose 92 BPM every time for every song. Playback at slower speeds was distorted. Starting a song over, trying to go on to another song before it completed the file at its own pace, balky controls - is this really ready for the Android tablet format? I sent an email to the publisher, never heard back. I will be uninstalling this app and downloading Amazing Slow Downer (the paid version). Too frustrating.

I basically never rate apps, but this one calls for it. I LOVE this app! As an amateur guitarist and violinist, it is so helpful. I can take pieces that I'm working on and slow them down to a playable speed for me. Then, as I improve, I can start speeding it up. Especially for the old-time fiddle tunes I'm in to, which are always in hyper speed, SO helpful. Also great for transcribing music by ear. Very little audio distortion! Love it!

This app is amazing. One of the most useful apps I've ever bought. I've found it so much easier to learn pieces thanks to this As a teacher, I wouldn't recommend this to my students because I'd be scared they'd get to relient upon this rather than a metronome but I shall be using this apps during lessons

Also great for transcribing music by ear for which perhaps there is no sheet music, or if I want to design a custom piece to go with the song. Perfect!!!

This app is perfect!Just needs to fix the over vibration when you make the pitch real high or low..or fast or slow..that is a little irritaring

A good tool for practice. Would be easier to use if there was an elapsed time displayed. The beginning and end stops a little fiddly.

Just confirming the previous reviews regarding repeated crashing. Not fit for purpose. Buying the full version does not resolve. Unfortunately the problem is intermittent and you may only discover after the refund period expires.

So helpful. Like having a musical partner at every practice :-)

Rarely works, just gives a message saying "unfortunately speedshifter has stopped". When it does work it doesn't always show the bpm of the track.

Needs additional support for other music files

Z70%
by Z####:

I need something like this as a professional aid to teaching (singing) as a player to fill in for a missing piano accompaniment. It's not bad but missing a couple of features for me: 1. Please let us transpose more than just three semitones up or down! Most songs at low pitch are a 4th down for instance. This is surely just an oversight and could be easily remedied. 2. Network play to a better audio system than my phone (eg a dlna renderer). Singing or playing is going to swamp the sound of my phone.

I use this app extensively in my lessons especially in the higher grades. It is very useful. There is some loss in audio quality especially when tracks are really slowed down but the usefulness outweighs the lag in tone. I would be lost without this app.
