"Psaltikon Tonarion" is a program that can be used as a tuner and/or as an isocrate. This is the free version with some limitations. THE ONLY TUNER / ISOCRATER PROGRAM THAT CAN DETECT THE TONE FROM THE MICROPHONE !! Some of the benefits of the program are: - Beautiful environment with respect to tradition. - It has the entire physical scale from the bottom Di to the Upper Pa. - Very natural transition from one note to the other. - Ability to select the smoothness in the transition between the notes. - Natural sound. - Ability to display music PDF files and use isocrate at the same time - Many different voices pre-installed. - Ability to use two voices at the same time - Ability to create new sounds and voices by importing audio files. - Change voice volume inside the program in real-time. - Change the voice pitch in real-time. - Ability to edit the tonality of each music note separately. - Ability to detect the tonality from the microphone! - The tonality can be changed by the step of one point or several each time. - Ability of selecting maximum and minimum tonality. - Ability to balance low and high frequencies (equalizer). - Easy to use. You don't have to press a separate button to stop the voice. - Different behavior in its use as a tuner and as an isocrate. As a tuner, the voice stops as soon as you release the button. As an isocrate, it stops when you press the same note again. - In isocrate mode, only useful notes with larger buttons are displayed to make it easier to handle. Optional you can view all the notes. "Psaltikon Tonarion" is a tool that we believe and hope will help the chants and students of our ecclesiastical music.
