I have a feeling it will get more difficult way before level 23.

Even if you already have AP, the ear manglers are very, very hard.

and unnecessary --- even long before you reach the 36th level, you would do much better to develop a thorough grasp of four-part music in ALL keys before proceeding with something like that.

Four part music is essentially music that is composed for four voices --- Bach's Chorales or any church hymn for that matter would a good example of music that is written in four parts. Another good example might be for instance any of Beethoven's or Haydn's string quartets. However, before one can become fluent in discerning the voices (as in Bass, Tenor, Alto, and Soprano) of four part music, one ought to first begin with music written for a solo instrument, and then systematically proceed to tackle music of increasingly greater complexity until ALL music in ALL keys and ALL timbres is learned and mastered. At the very least this will result in extremely good relative pitch and a thorough grasp of the musical language, and at the very best it will result in what might be termed 'absolute tonality' --- the symbiosis of perfect and relative pitch into one coherent system. The trouble however is that Prolobe is too limited in terms of both method and execution in order to attain this most lofty of goals, and so for a number of extremely good (and obvious) reasons fails to develop true perfect pitch, but only an ability that is twenty percent perfect pitch (or perhaps what might best be termed pseudo-AP) and eighty percent RP (in the form of scale degree recognition). Now, please bear in mind that scale degree recognition never turns into perfect pitch as David Lucas Burge almost mislead me into believing, but both faculties do play a role in discerning both the absolute and harmonic function of pitches.

Prolobe limited in method and execution?
I think its the best training tool for ear training I've seen outside of having a real live person help you do it.
