FAQ

What does Turntabulator do?

Turntabulator is an application designed to accurately measure the rotational speed of your turntable. It helps you ensure your vinyl records are playing at the correct RPM, so your music sounds exactly as the artist intended. The app provides detailed analysis of your turntable's speed accuracy.

How does Turntabulator measure turntable speed?

The app utilizes a proprietary method called Musical Analysis with Gyroscopically Indifferent Calculations (MAGIC). You simply place your phone on the spinning platter, and the app analyzes the rotation to determine the RPM. No external hardware or gyroscope is needed, making it compatible with a wide range of devices.

What are the different measurement modes?

Turntabulator offers two modes: Quick Mode, which provides results within 0.1 RPM in under 15 seconds, and Exact Mode, which offers more precise results with an error of 0.01 RPM or less within one to two minutes. This allows users to choose between speed and ultimate accuracy.

How much does Turntabulator cost?

Based on the provided information, this application is a paid app. There are no mentions of in-app purchases or advertisements, suggesting a one-time purchase for full functionality.

What devices is Turntabulator compatible with?

The app is designed to work on older devices as it does not require a gyroscope for its advanced measurement capabilities. This ensures broad compatibility for users looking to check their turntable's accuracy.
