Fine Tuna vs Beaupré Tuner

Fine Tuna is a precision tuner for musicians who care about the details—especially early music specialists who need to understand exactly what a temperament is doing. Fast, responsive pitch detection finds stable musical pitch through fast attacks, noise, overtones, and changing envelopes, making Fine Tuna especially effective on instruments that can be difficult to hear electronically. Created by professional harpsichordist and conductor Jeffrey Grossman, Fine Tuna offers 40 temperaments researched from their original sources, and lets you tune, see, hear, compare, and investigate them visually, numerically, and by ear. Start tuning instantly in Simple mode, with advanced tools always just a tap away. CUSTOMIZABLE TUNER VIEWS - Choose from Frame, Bar, three types of strobe, octave and harmonic displays, and more - Choose note names (standard, Germanic, or solfège) and octave notation (scientific or Helmholtz) independently - Edit built-in views or create your own with custom colors, frame shapes, and strobe settings - See tuning hints in your selected temperament, such as: “Bb → Eb: pure” or “Bb → D: 13.7c wide, 8.7 beats/sec” - Set A4 anywhere from 300–600 Hz in 0.1 Hz increments—or simply play the A you need - Tuning organ pipes in a cold or warm church? Temperature compensation shifts the target so flue pipes reach pitch at your reference temperature TEMPERAMENTS AND TEMPERAMENT EXPLORER - Quality over quantity: 40 curated temperaments, each researched from its original source, with its history, its author’s own definition, and facsimiles of the treatise where one survives - Create custom temperaments using cents offsets or fractions of a syntonic or Pythagorean comma, synced to your other devices - Transpose temperaments up or down - Use split enharmonics such as C#/Db and D#/Eb, including listening and playing - Convert a temperament between cents and fractions of a comma, and see its fifths in a circle or spiral - Use the Temperament Explorer to see and hear a temperament’s interval sizes, major and minor triads, key characters, modulation paths, and harmonic progressions - Compare two temperaments in the Explorer, or one temperament in two transpositions - Save temperament, pitch, and transposition bookmarks for quick recall - Share a bookmark with your ensemble: they can see its details on the web or open your exact setup in Fine Tuna Pro TEMPERAMENT BY EAR - Set a temperament on your own instrument one note at a time, either by counting beats in the modern style or by making intervals beat the same—the method tuners used for centuries - Tune blind and let Fine Tuna grade each note, then measure your finished tuning - Practice by Ear: hear beats, compare intervals, and tune a whole temperament on a virtual instrument, scored note by note ADVANCED KEYBOARD - Choose from 13 sounds, including simple waveforms, synthesized instruments, and sampled flute, clarinet, trumpet, and organ - Flip instantly between two temperaments with Temperament Compare, each in its own transposition - Use Just Intonation mode to play a chord, lock a reference note, and tune the other notes pure against it - Play on the resizable inline keyboard or the full-screen Keyboard tab - Customize key size, keyboard appearance, and starting pitch PASSAGE REVIEW AND STRETCH TUNING - Record up to 60 seconds of music and review your performance by pitch - Play back individual notes—for example, every F you played—to hear how consistent they were - Sample your own keyboard instrument to create a custom stretch-tuning profile across the register, synced to your other devices LOCKED NOTE AND AUDIO OPTIONS - Lock the tuner to one pitch and ignore other input - Add an optional drone that follows the locked pitch - Use the built-in microphone while listening through headphones, or connect an external microphone Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
