![]() ![]() Transparency - PianoMeter shows you the actual inharmonicity data for the piano, and the actual “Railsback” tuning curve in an easy to understand graphical format. This makes it less susceptible to putting notes in the wrong place due to one partial being “out of tune” from its inharmonicity model. Multiple partials - PianoMeter displays real-time feedback from multiple harmonics/partials instead of just one. Our algorithm finds the tuning based on minimizing the beat rates of: Multiple intervals - Unlike other tuning platforms that set a “temperament” and then calculate the tuning outward with stretched octaves, PianoMeter independently calculates the ideal tuning of all 87 notes based on multiple interval relationships with other notes. This is particularly helpful on short, poorly scaled pianos. No more trying to decide whether and where to tune 4:2, 6:3, 8:4, or 5:10 octaves, or wondering which tuning “profile” works best for different sizes of piano. What makes PianoMeter different from other piano tuning software?Īutomatic Stretch - PianoMeter automatically calculates the “stretch” that is best suited to whatever piano you are tuning. Pitch raise functionality that calculates overpull for a “rough” tuning (for pianos that are extremely flat)Ĭreate a custom tuning curve by adjusting interval weighting and stretch Save and load multiple tuning files so a piano doesn’t need to be re-measured each time it is tuned Tune to frequency standards other than A=440Ĭalibrate device to an external frequency source Tuning functionality for the entire piano (not just the mid-range)Ĭhoose from a selection of historical temperaments or create your own Evaluate if a piano is roughly in tune using the graph at the bottom Tuning functionality for select sample notes only. The extra functionality is unlocked through in-app purchases. PianoMeter has three levels of functionality: a free (evaluation) version, a paid “plus” version with basic tuning functionality, and professional version with features geared towards professional piano tuners. Functionality for both hobbyists and professional piano tuners ![]() In other words, it creates a custom tuning for each piano with the best compromise between intervals like fifths, fourths, octaves, and twelfths, the way aural piano tuners do when fine-tuning a piano by ear. Unlike regular chromatic tuning apps that simply tune to a pre-calculated equal temperament, this software actively measures the tonal characteristics of each note and automatically calculates the ideal “stretch” or offset from equal temperament. Pair alder with the VJ74’s bolt-on, hard rock maple neck and you know you just can’t go wrong for rocky-blues bass, or, just wind the tone control back a tad and enter a whole new world of jazzy, mellow soothing bass lines.PianoMeter is a user-friendly piano tuning app that will transform your Android or iOS device into a professional quality electronic tuning aid. Solid alder is the perfect choice for the body, not only to support the solid construction, but for this popular tonewood’s ability to distribute an equally fine balance of high, mid and low frequencies, delivered uncoloured to a pair of Wilkinson WOJB single coil pickups which enhance this tight, piano-like tone, with extended clarity and articulation. ![]() His clients include the Santa Barbara Bowl, the Music Academy of the West, CAMA, UCSB Arts & Lectures, the Granada Theatre, and Steinway’s Concert & Artist division. The Vintage VJ74 ReIssued bass has a reputation as a workhorse bass guitar with professional, semi-professional and bass players around the world who just love its defined sound and playability.
