I've tried to tighten up my tuning technique recently to minimize 'extraneous' factors present in a plucked string tone that can confound the tuning process. Puretones are useful for calibration, assuming their own calibration is accurate, but they don’t really test the tuner’s handling of a real guitar string. I’ve found that using it for both setting intonation and routine tuning does make a big difference compared to other tuners. The IStroboSoft app does a great job of presenting the unfiltered data in a way your eyes can handle. Others track it well, but it’s difficult to visually filter the information. Some tuners use hysteresis to damp that, but you can’t really tell what they are ignoring. The pitch of a plucked string starts sharp, drifts flat, and fluctuates continuously. eg here the Snark clip on (using mic) does not fare as well as the D'Addario on that test (using a signal generator). Īs well as accuracy, you would want to test sensitivity, ie how far off frequency you need to go before the indicator changes to show that you're off.

For tuners/apps based on microphone input (or you could probably connect your PC speaker out to a pedal / desktop tuner's input jack) you can check your tuner(s) yourself. Instead we're supposed to take them basically on faith.

You'd think testing tuners against a universal standard would be more common, with manufacturers advertising their verification against a NIST or similar standard. Support via email at: or call, people reporting small disagreements between tuners seems to be quite common. Optional adaptor cable for direct line-in access as well as mini capsule microphone available from Peterson. Use the built-in mic on your device for tuning or connect directly via the headphone jack using an approved adaptor cable or interface.ĭevices without a headphone jack can connect a pickup or mic using the lightning-to-audio adaptor. Change strobe display colors to accommodate different lighting environments or set a preferred user color for those with limited color palette recognition.

Full screen mode permits the strobe display to be maximized on screen to allow better viewing from a distance.

Adjustable Concert A: Change the Concert A reference of the tuner to accommodate tuning to a fixed instrument, such as a piano, or tune instruments that do not utilize the typical Western A440 reference.

Drop/Capo mode: iStroboSoft will auto-transpose notes up or down to one full octave.

Calibration mode: iStroboSoft can be calibrated to an external source guaranteeing 1/10th cent accuracy.

Input boost: The input boost will raise all input frequencies by +24dB.

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.

Glowing flat/sharp indicators assist when tuning a note very far from the target position.

Toggle the display to show: cents, Hz, MIDI note value for the note being tuned.

Cents display allows you to see how far out of tune your note is in cent values.

Note/Octave window displays the correct note and octave for the note being tuned.

Smooth, real-time strobe display allows you to achieve an unmatched level of accuracy.

Mains hum filter option reduces the chances of the tuner latching on to 50 or 60Hz cycle hum when using a direct line-in connection or while using the app during device charging.

Assisted Low Note Detection (ALND) helps capture very low frequencies.

12 Temperaments with adjustable root control.

Speed control for strobe display dampen the response for a longer note display.

Guided Mode Tuning offers an alternate strobe display that slows the strobe bands one-by-one as you come closer to tune.

Stand-by mode to reduce battery usage or freeze the display.
