This is a professional piano technicians' tuning tool. We expect users to already know piano tuning basics and have their own tuning equipment. What makes Reyburn CyberTuner for iOS (or "iRCT") superior to other tuning software? Ease of use. Clarity of functions. Intuitive and thoughtful design and programming by a Registered Piano Technician (RPT) member of the PTG with years of concert tuning and prep experience as well as "in the trenches" home tunings and repairs. Built on the collective knowledge of scores of RPTs. Flexibility to tune the way you want with unbelievable accuracy.

Email listserv support is free for registered CyberTuner users. • Concert Tune mode combines the best of Fine Tune and Smart Tune, customized for 7 foot (210cm) and 9 foot (275cm) concert instruments. • Aural Tutor expert system analyzes your aural tuning and suggests intervals and check notes for improving your aural skills. • Extraordinarily accurate and fast pitch correction with iRCT's Smart Tune and Pitch Raise modes. These modes use a US Patented expert system to individually predict every note on the piano. • iRCT creates aural-quality tunings by directly matching sampled partials, just as concert aural tuners do. • iRCT accommodates all experience levels, giving beginning tuners a very simple interface, but offers advanced tuners customizable stretch choices. • iRCT is an "expert system" which automatically senses and compensates for short scaling in spinets, small grands, etc. • iRCT creates musical tunings from low bass to high treble because accurate multi-partial samples (to .01¢) are taken across a wide array of sample notes (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 and A6). • Fast, high-resolution spinner provides unsurpassed stability and unisons. • New: Apple Metal graphics framework for improved battery life and responsiveness. • New: CyberAssist built-in tech support provides instant answers 24/7. • New: iCloud Sync with merge files feature keeps your files safe. • New: CyberEar AI Mode creates tunings which challenge even the best aural tuners. • Occasional internet connection (approximately once a month) required to calibrate A440. An iRCT license includes Standard Mode (ability to tune a 13 note temperament from A3 to A4) plus a FREE one (1) year subscription to CyberCare which upgrades the mode to Premium (tune 88 notes). Also included with a CyberCare subscription are free upgrades to any new iRCT features, CyberCloud calibration, and support. See "In-App Purchases" for CyberCare price in local currency. If your CyberCare Subscription lapses, iRCT will continue to function in original Standard mode. In subsequent years CyberCare one year subscriptions may be purchased in-app with automatic renewal option: • Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. • Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. • Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. • Subscriptions may be managed and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase.

Read full description

Noteroom is a quick note reading trainer for piano players. A note appears on the staff, you tap the matching key, and Noteroom measures how fast you recognise it. Practice in the moments in between: on your commute, waiting for the bus, on a coffee break. When you sit down at the piano, the notes come to you faster. Recognising notes instantly is the first building block of sight reading. Noteroom trains exactly that, so your time at the piano can go to the music itself. HOW IT WORKS - A note appears on the staff, you tap the matching key, - Start with just a few notes - Increase difficulty as you get better, a few notes at a time. - Your level is based on your average time per note. Get faster, level up - Your room improves as you level up. - Analytics show how you’ve improved over time. - Play on your phone or connect your device via MIDI. A ROOM THAT GROWS WITH YOU Every level upgrades your practice room, from a dusty cellar with a cheap keyboard to a music salon with a grand piano. SEE YOURSELF GET FASTER Track your speed per session and watch it improve over time. NEED A REFRESHER? A built-in reference sheet shows every note on the treble and bass staff, plus sharps and flats. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no personal data. Your progress stays on your phone. We only collect anonymous usage stats to improve the app, and they're never linked to you.
