Set the beats per minute, and your Apple Watch will play the tempo - and give you sensory feedback. Haptick will keep working when you drop/move your wrist, so you can use this metronome while you are holding up your instrument. The metronome keeps running past the 70 second "sleep limit". The haptic feedback for this app is stronger than the normal "tick" that you are accustomed to, and there is an audible beep that augments the tapping. Set the tempo, and your Apple Watch will vibrate to the beat. That's all there is to it. Features: * The metronome will ignore your wrist action. That way, when you hold your instrument the clicking will keep going. * The audible cue keeps the tempo, along with a haptic pulse. * A button changes the haptic pulse from 2/4 to 3/4, or you can silence the pulse. * Use the slider (+/-) to change the tempo, or use the crown to scroll (fine tune). Notes: * This application will "run in background"; the metronome keeps running past the "sleep" limit (the "wake for 70 seconds"). ** The audible cue (beep) and the heavy haptic pulse will only happen every other beat. There is a limitation on the Apple Watch -- the loud physical haptic vibrate can't keep up to the app's beat. That means, you will hear the tempo as if it were 2/4 (two beats out of four), rather than 4/4 (four beats out of four). This time lag becomes more prominent as the tempo gets faster.
Persian Santur Tuner

Description Persian Santur Tuner is made for the 9-kharak (9-bridge) Persian santur. It listens through the microphone and shows how close each string is to its target, in cents. You can also tap any note to hear a sine-wave reference at the correct pitch. How to use it Choose a dastgah or avaz, then Sol (G) or Do (C). Yellow, White, and High are the three string banks, from bass to treble. Play a string: the app names the note, shows the frequency, and moves the − / + meter. The marker is green when you are inside the in-tune window. Tap a kharak to hear that pitch; the tone keeps sounding if you tap another note before it ends. Dastgah and avaz The seven dastgahs are Shur, Homayoun, Segah, Chahargah, Mahur, Nava, and Rast-Panjgah. Each has a 9-bridge chart for Sol and Do. C and G stay natural; other bridges may be koron, sori, or flat, depending on the mode. Avaz use the same 9-bridge set as their parent: - Shur: Dashti, Abu Ata, Bayat-e Turk, Afshari, Bayat-e Kord - Homayoun: Esfahan, Shushtari High-register Sol can differ slightly (for example La flat in Shur, or sori on the last Fa in Chahargah). You can also switch to chromatic 12-TET or 24-TET (quarter tones, with s = sori and k = koron) if you want equal temperament instead of a dastgah chart. Settings All of these are saved when you close the app. - A4 , Concert pitch, from 430 to 450 Hz (default 440). Every note is calculated from this reference. - In tune window , How many cents off a string may be and still count as in tune (default +/- 6 cents, adjustable +/-3 to +/-12). A smaller window is stricter; a larger one is more forgiving. The meter turns green only inside this window. - Persian intervals , Koron and sori size, from 30 to 70 cents (default 50). Koron lowers a note; sori raises it. C and G stay natural in every dastgah; koron and sori only move the other bridges. Reset defaults restores A4 440, +/- 6 cents, and 50-cent koron/sori. Works entirely on the device. No account and no internet required.
