Harmonic Tuner vs Retales Sampler

Harmonic Tuner is a precision tuner for string players who want more than just a needle. Tune with a fast live readout, then dig into harmonic snapshots to see how your tone changes after the pluck. Whether you are checking intonation, cleaning up a note before recording, or studying overtones and sustain, Harmonic Tuner gives you a focused workflow without unnecessary clutter. Features: • Chromatic tuning with clear cents and frequency readouts • Instrument presets for guitar, bass, ukulele, mandolin, and slack-key guitar • Smooth live tuning display designed for quick visual adjustment • Harmonic Analysis view with timed snapshots after the initial note lock • Harmonic bars that show the strength of the base pitch and upper overtones • Waveform snapshots for comparing the shape of the sound over time • Save, name, reload, and compare harmonic captures • Adjustable reference pitch (A4) • Advanced controls for noise gate, filtering, smoothing, and tracking stability • Input device selection for supported audio hardware Use the main tuner when you want fast, focused tuning. Use Harmonic Analysis when you want to understand what your note is doing after the attack. Harmonic Tuner is built for players who care about pitch, response, and tone.

Retales is a drum machine made of scraps of sound. Eight pads, a step grid and little else: everything is on one screen, and you understand it by looking at it. It comes with 320 kits ready to play, but the point is making your own: you tap out a few hits on the table, the app finds them, assigns them to the pads, and you have a kit nobody else has. EIGHT PADS Each pad has volume, tune, pan, character, attack and length. The filter is a single knob, low-pass one way and high-pass the other, with resonance. There are also delay and reverb sends, choke groups and reverse. SEQUENCER, PATTERNS AND SONG 16 or 32 steps. Each step has its own velocity, probability, tune and repeat. Eight patterns, A to H, that you chain into a song. Export the pattern or the song as WAV. RECORD AND SLICE Up to 20 seconds from the microphone, or an audio file. Retales finds the hits and assigns them to the pads. Clean up removes background noise from the recording and evens out the hits, without touching the original. What you make is saved in the Mine bank, with a cover photo, and you can export the project. MIDI AND AUDIO UNIT Notes 36 to 43 for the pads, Program Change and Bank Select to change kits, and MIDI LEARN, endless knobs included. As an Audio Unit instrument (AUv3), Retales opens in apps that load Audio Units v3, with the host's tempo and transport and settings you can automate. MAC, IPAD AND IPHONE It is the same app on all three. Held upright, the iPhone is for playing: the eight pads fill the screen. Turned sideways, it is the editor. In eight languages. TEN BANKS, 320 KITS, 2560 SOUNDS Every sound is synthesized for Retales. The app is free, with every feature and the Materia bank, 32 kits, unlocked. "Full Retales", a one-time in-app purchase, unlocks the other nine banks, 288 more kits, and covers the Mac, the iPad, the iPhone and the AUv3. No accounts, no ads. It collects no data.
