I use pitch invasion as a good trainer for my ears. Since I have upgraded to Biab 2019 all the history is cancelled. That is no a big problem. The real problem is I don't want it to use GM music tones like FX, because they are not so well pitched. I remember I used to have all the aliens playing only piano tones, but I can't get it to work. May somebody help me?

Wow, I don't think I've ever looked at this. After playing with it a while, by disabling "Aliens use random patch" under Settings and selecting an Acoustic Piano patch I was able to get a piano-like reference tone. Hope this works out for you!

thank to you I have solved my problem. I had checked the "Override aliens patch" instead unchecking "Aliens use random patch"

Nope, you're wrong ... that's called Patch Subversion.

I enjoy(ed) piitch invasion and went to once again open it to play after seeing this thread.
BUMMER! I upgraded my iPad just yesterday and PG no longer offers support/updates for the app.
