What is Practice Partner's Tuner?
Practice Partner's Tuner is a full featured Tuner, capable of far
more than nearly every Tuner available today. The Tuner is used to display graphically how close a monosonic (single
notes - not chords) audio sample, at any particular point in time, is to a
predetermined reference pitch.
The Tuner can be used to:
- Display the accuracy of the pitch of a musical sound sample (tuned)
relevant to an established calibration with an accuracy of 1 cent (1/100 of a
semitone)
- The audio sample can be either from a live source or from an audio file
- Continuous or single audio samples can be analyzed for their tuning accuracy
- The calibration of the reference frequency can be adjusted from Baroque
pitch to Contemporary and beyond (A=410Hz to A=469Hz)
- The display can be either in semitones or quartertones
- The display can be adjusted according to an instrument's transposition
- The background noise level can be adjusted (reduced)
