![]() ![]() A spectrogram provides more complete and precise information than a musical score because it is based on actual measurements of the changing frequency content of a sound over time.įour user-selectable color map options included with in-app purchase. The relative intensity of the sound at any particular time and frequency is indicated by the color of the spectrogram at that point. Noise Filter: Use The Noise Filter When Utilizing An External Mic Or Clip-On Tuning Device To Help Reduce The Effect Of Extraneous Environmental Noise During Tuning.Input Boost: The Input Boost Will Raise All Input Frequencies By +24db.Cents, Hertz, Or MIDI Note Value Display.Automatic (Chromatic Operation) Or Manual Note Select Tuning.Note/Octave Window Displays The Correct Note And Octave For The Note Being Tuned.Full Screen Mode Permits The Strobe Display To Be Maximized On Screen To Allow Better Viewing From A Distance.Cents Display Allows You To See How Far Out Of Tune Your Note Is In Cent Values.Calibration Mode: iStroboSoft Can Be Calibrated To An External Source Guaranteeing 1/10th Cent Accuracy.Drop/Capo Mode: iStroboSoft Will Auto-Transpose Notes Up Or Down To One Full Octave.Calibration To Any Pitch Standard - A=440 Default.Enhanced Spectrum Analyzer - Visual Marker Locks To The Real-Time Spectrum Display To Indicate Approximately Which Frequency Is Being Measured.Tuning Accuracy Better Than 1/1000 Of A Semitone - Accurate To 1/10 Of A Cent.Other than the various Turbo Tuners, I bought all the rest for less than $35 each, and the NS tuners for around $10 each. I never have an issue with doubled strings being out from each other with any of these tuners, but all my instruments are meticulously set up. ![]() ![]() Fastest tuner, and more accurate than even the Peterson line. My friends and I noticed the speed of note recognition in various shootout videos, especially when the tuners were being used simultaneously, and that difference in speed showed up when we have tried it ourselves.įinally, for recording or live fussiness, the Turbo Tuner wins. These have the same accuracy as the Peterson line, but react *instantly*. Next, either a Korg Sledgehammer Custom or Crescendo ZenStrobe for headstock use for more accuracy with doubled courses, or a Korg CA Custom. I have a few different tuners for different needs.įirst, all instruments have a Planet Waves NS Headstock Tuner in the pocket, placed on the headstock for gigs and casual play. thank you for passing along the information. I did not take into account the harmonics with the clip on tuners. Sunburst, thank you for that explanation. and thank you Sunburst, I learned a ton of info in that reply that I did not know, and all of it will help. The Unitune looks pretty large especially compared to the micro tuner, but the Peterson tuner is really big.Īnother vote for unitune and or a polytune-they do not eat battery life like some snarks do either. I was not familiar with the Unitune and in doing a quick search ran across a thread comparing the Unitune and Peterson. They have come out with a version that mounts to the screw of you tuner to eliminate that issue. The one issue with the micro tuner is it will leave (at least on a really nice mandolin) about a nickel sized circle/ring from the rubber foot. I really like the size and ability to be out of the way and out of sight. I have been using the D'Addario micro tuner for the past couple of years. I thought they were reliable and accurate. I used Korg tuners for my mandolin and my daughters violin/fiddles. the worst part was it was not accurate from the get go. I did not like the size, shape and they seem very fragile where the arm and tuner connect. I bought a Snark tuner on a Black Friday sale and hated it. That tends to make the fundamental stronger and the harmonics weaker. Plucking the string near it's center (12th fret area) can help. Sorry for the redundant info.Īnother thing I forgot to mention. Looks like I didn't fully read Tom's post before starting to type. Maybe there are tuners that reject harmonics better than others, but that is not added precision necessarily. If we tune well within 3 cents, that's about the best we can do, so higher precision is esoteric anyway. The precision of the tuner doesn't really have much to do with the harmonics of the note. Moving the tuner and clipping it on somewhere else will sometimes help the situation, but usually damping the string and plucking it again will eventually get you the right note. After all, it can only display one note at a time and all harmonics are present in the note. For example, D is the 5th harmonic of G, so it is not unusual for the clip-on tuner to "hear" the D instead of the G. The 4th and 5th harmonics are pretty strong when we pluck a string, and often clip-on tuners will pick up one of them instead of the fundamental. ![]()
