What's New in pianoscope

4.0.6

August 27, 2026

RENAMING INSTRUMENTS The name of an instrument can now be edited directly in the instrument settings. The document is renamed along with it. If another document already uses that name, a number is appended automatically. ZOOMING THE TUNE SCALE AND THE KEYBOARD On the iPad the menu bar offers new commands for enlarging and reducing the tune scale and the on-screen keyboard, including keyboard shortcuts. Until now this was only possible with a two-finger gesture. SWIPING THROUGH THE PITCH RAISE SETTINGS Swipe left and right to move between the pages of the pitch raise settings. FIXES • Starting the app could hang while the license was being checked over a poor network connection. • The one-time pro purchase was blocked while a cancelled subscription was still running. • Typing at the beginning of the instrument notes duplicated the input at the end and moved the cursor. • The beat synchrony chart was cut off at the bottom edge on the iPad. • Swiping between temperaments did not work while the chart was shown in a panel. • Overlapping partial bars could cover each other's numbers. • The weight options in the tuning plan menu are now dimmed while no deviation curves are shown. • Fixed issues with startup when running on macOS.

The Mac App Is Non-Functional (Useless)

Don’t waste your time with the mac app. It’s completely useless. I started the free 2 week trial, and the app literally does nothing. I noticed in the app store, it says “mac app not verified”. That’s an understatement. Why make your app available for mac when it doesn’t even work? Hello? Developer? Anyone there?

Best ETD/Tuning App available

I would not be able to do my job without this app. I tune toughly 20 pianos a week and besides my tuning hammer this is the most important tool in my bag. By far the best tuning app out there, and the app keeps improving and adding features that full time techs request. 10/10 recommend this to anybody, new or professional, its features are helpful to all!

Das ist eins der besten Softwareentwicklung die ich kenne

Mise au diapason 435hz

Bonjour,

Je pense avoir rencontré un problème avec PianoScope.

J’ai créé un nouveau fichier d’accord entièrement depuis zéro. Avant de commencer la pré-mesure, j’ai réglé le diapason de concert sur 435 Hz dans les paramètres de l’instrument.

Après avoir effectué la pré-mesure et commencé l’accord, PianoScope indique que le La4 est parfaitement accordé (0,00 cent). Cependant, la fréquence affichée est d’environ 439,3 Hz.

Pour vérifier, j’ai utilisé une autre application d’accordage (Pano Tuner), qui mesure également 439,3 Hz pour cette même note.

Mes paramètres sont les suivants :

* Diapason de concert : 435 Hz
* Tempérament : Égal
* Nouveau fichier d’accord créé après avoir réglé le diapason sur 435 Hz.

Malgré cela, PianoScope semble toujours accorder le La4 autour de 439–440 Hz, alors qu’il devrait être proche de 435 Hz.

Est-ce le fonctionnement normal de l’application ? Ai-je oublié un réglage particulier, ou s’agit-il d’un bug ?

Je peux également vous transmettre des captures d’écran des paramètres et des mesures si cela peut vous aider à identifier le problème.

Merci d’avance pour votre aide.

Response from developer

Bonjour, je pense que vous avez utilisé le mode Mise au diapason de pianoscope. Ce mode doit être utilisé lorsque vous montez ou descendez fortement la hauteur d'un instrument, par exemple de plus de 5 cents en moyenne. Dans ce mode, une fois la pré-mesure effectuée, pianoscope calcule une valeur de surcompensation spécifique pour chaque note. La surcompensation signifie que pianoscope vous fait accorder plus haut (au moyen des marqueurs de cible orange en forme de triangle) que la hauteur cible, afin de tenir compte du mouvement de la table d'harmonie et du cadre en fonte qui se produira lorsque vous accorderez les notes suivantes. Dans ce mode, vous devez accorder de façon linéaire de La0 à Do8 et accorder les unissons au fur et à mesure, car le calcul de la surcompensation repose sur cet ordre. D'après votre description, je ne peux pas déterminer si vous avez suivi cet ordre ni si vous avez accordé d'autres notes après avoir accordé le La4. La mise au diapason part du principe que l'accord des notes situées au-dessus du La4 fera redescendre la hauteur du La4 près de la hauteur cible réellement visée. Pour plus d'informations sur le mode Mise au diapason, consultez le manuel utilisateur https://www.pianoscope.app/manual4/website/en/pitch-raise-pro/basics/index.html (disponible en anglais uniquement).
