Pitched Instrument Tuner and Pitch Pipe is a comprehensive tuning app meticulously crafted by musicians to meet the diverse needs of players across various instruments. Whether you play the ukulele, violin, guitar, or kalimba, or even fine-tune your voice, this app provides a seamless and efficient tuning experience.
Designed with simplicity in mind, the app boasts user-friendly controls and clear visuals, making it an ideal choice for beginners. However, its responsive and precise algorithms also cater to the demands of more advanced players, ensuring professional-level accuracy.
Key Features:
Instrument Variety: Choose from a range of instrument tunings such as guitar, violin, ukulele, and more. Upgrade to the pro version to create custom tunings tailored to your preferences.
Pitch Customization: Adjust the reference tuning pitch away from the common 440Hz, allowing for flexibility in tuning.
Transposition: Ideal for non-concert pitch instruments, like the B-flat trumpet, ensuring accurate tuning for a wide range of musical setups.
Visual Customization: Select from light or dark themes to suit your visual preferences.
Volume Sensitivity: Fine-tune the app's sensitivity to accommodate quieter instruments and noisy environments.
Pitch Pipe Functionality: Use the pitch pipe to sound a reference note and tune by ear, serving as a valuable tool during instrument re-stringing.
The app introduces hands-free tuning, enabling users to tune all strings without touching the screen, eliminating interruptions during the tuning process. Two distinct modes, Instrument Tuner and Chromatic Tuner, cater to specific tuning needs.
The Instrument Tuner mode displays target notes based on the selected instrument and tuning. For instance, a guitar tuner would showcase notes like EADGBE for standard tuning or DADGBE for drop D tuning. The app includes built-in tunings for various instruments, such as banjo, bass, cello, double bass, ukulele, viola, and violin, with the option to create custom tunings.
In Chromatic Tuner mode, the app identifies the note closest to the one being played, making it beneficial for instruments with numerous notes or multiple common tunings, like the piano or guitar.
Pitched Tuner features a traditional tuner needle and dial, displaying the frequency, nearest note, and error in cents. This enables users to easily track subtle changes in pitch.
Additionally, the app doubles as a pitch pipe, providing a reference note for tuning instruments by ear or serving as a guide during the re-stringing process.
