Tune your instrument to any scale you can imagine. Perfect harmony, or super sharp dissonance, and everything in between. Accurately recreate traditional music from around the world, as well as pre-modern western music. Or use it as a standard instrument tuner! Each scale can be selected, and its notes can be played to get a feel for it before tuning your instrument. Each scale may have a different root note (1/1), and the root note frequency (1/1) can be adjusted while tuning. Entonal Tuner was created when the developer began to learn about Just Intonation and microtonal music. He soon found that it, although some tuning apps support different temperaments and scales, they are difficult to edit, and not a "first class citizen". So the seed was planted... and Entonal Tuner was born.

The versatile Waldorf synthesizer classic Blofeld now also available for iPad including auv3 for hosts like Logic, Garageband, Cubasis, AUM and others. With the Blofeld app you can also control your hardware and it is compatible with existing Blofeld soundsets. The sound generation of the Blofeld plugin delivers the typical fat and rich Waldorf sound character that so many Waldorf users worldwide love when they are playing their Blofeld, Q, Q+, Microwave, Microwave II/XT or even the flagship, the Wave. The secret of its sound is a powerful wavetable engine that enables these intense and expressive sounds. This unique synthesis system is based on the revolutionary PPG synthesizers of the early 80s. When you hear the Blofeld for the first time, you’ll immediately remember those edgy, assertive or bell-like timbres that have been an integral part of countless worldwide hits since the PPG era.
