Using this skill

To use this skill, try a phrase like the following:

• "Alexa, ask Tone Drone to give me a G"
• "Alexa, ask Tone Drone to sing an A flat"
• "Alexa, ask Tone Drone for a C double flat"
• "Alexa, get a D sharp from Tone Drone"
• "Alexa, start Tone Drone"

Known Issues

At the time of development, Alexa isn't very good at interpreting some of the pitch names, particularly A (unfortunately the most commonly-requested pitch). To help Alexa out, try asking for an "A natural" instead of just an "A".
