[pianotech] Was: TuneLab as an IPhone App

[bppiano at aol.com]

I also must add my two cents about Tunelab.  Every previous post has been spot-on in regards to ease of use, and so on.  Here's a few  things I find unique about the program:


1. It uses a tech's language when setting up the device to tune close to your personal tuning style (8/4 octaves, 6/3 octaves and so forth, which partial to listen for in         which octave, etc)
2. The spectrum analyser which is great for tuning the upper register, also gives a unique view of false beats.
3. If you listen to one particular partial for tuning, and that partial weak or there is interference, it is quick and easy to switch partials
4. If you only want a reliable source to measure your first note and then tune aurally, the trial version is great (that excludes the Iphone version)

I agree with the everyone's commendatory comments about Tunelab.  I use it
on my Windows Mobile phone, which is an HTC Universal.

Jim Johnson, why don't you download the free trial, if you already have a
Windows Mobile smartphone.  You can use it for a while to see how you get
on. In the free trial, after the first two or three uses a 2-minute
suspension of the program will cut in every so often while you are using
it. But apart from that it's the full working program and will give you an
idea of how you get on with it.

It might be particularly useful for you in setting the temperament against
background noise - take some of the strain out of it.

I second comments about how helpful Robert Scott is.  There is also a
Yahoo group for Tunelab users.
