INTUNATOR - Improve your Intonation by Ear! It's ingenious and simple! The INTUNATOR is an innovative, new training aid to assist in the development of correct intonation for all wind and string instruments, as well as for vocalists. The App recognizes the note being played and plays it back with the correct intonation. While you are practicing, you will intuitively match the note you are playing to the note you are hearing. You are literally training your intonation by ear as you play. At the same time, INTUNATOR is a high quality tuner. The App offers countless training options, and there are no limits to your creativity and flexibility. Simply connect your headphones, start INTUNATOR and play what you'd like on your instrument. It's ingenious! KEY FEATURES: Pitch Detection: INTUNATOR immediately and accurately recognizes the note being played or sung, thanks to its sophisticated tone detection algorithm. Audio Output: The recognized pitch is corrected in equal temperament (like the piano) and output is via headphones or speakers for length of time you choose. You may choose to have the output sound be played in fifths or octaves. Three special sounds were developed specifically for this purpose. When combined with the volume control on your mobile device, they allow you to create the optimal balance between your instrument and the tone being played back by the INTUNATOR. Visual Aids: The note you are playing is shown on the Display. You may choose to have the notes named by letter (C,D,E) or using Solfege designations (do, re, mi). A simple graphic shows you your pitch deviation with a white line. Drone Mode: Train your intonation in Drone Mode over a continuous drone note of your choice. You may play freely in harmony with the audible drone tone, which will improve your perception of harmony and pitch, and thus your intonation. The notes you play are displayed in interval numbers 1 2 3 ... or in Solfege intervals (do re mi). The white line shows you if your intonation is correct or needs improvement. You may also practice in just temperament in the Drone Mode if you wish! Transposition: The note names are shown in their transposed form. User's Assistent: An automatic User's Assistant is there to insure a quick and easy application of the App for the user from day one. There are many possible settings: 56 different instruments to choose from, Transposition, Concert Pitch, Volume of Background Noise, Display of Frequency and Deviations in Cents, Mute Button, Notation Preferences in either sharp or flat, 3 different audio output sounds, fifth or octave offset of the control tone, drone mode, just temperament and the Pitch Detection Number, which is determined by the instrument being used. Tuner: The INTUNATOR is also a high quality tuner with thehelp of the tone off button. You can play what you'd like on your instrument. The INTUNATOR will always accompany you with the "right note". Improve your intonation by matching the sound you hear in your headphones to the one you are playing on your instrument. The app's visual display will help you with this. Over time, you should slowly try to wean yourself off of the visual aid and use your ears more and more to help you improve your intonation. Learn the intonation quirks of your instrument! Correct your intonation intuitively. Enjoy exerting control over your instrument. Let the INTUNATOR help you to learn how to improve intonation on your instrument! Our method teaches all musicians how to improve their intonation in the most obvious way: By using their ears! Practice independently and without outside help.

RosinTune — Your Intonation Mirror Supporting: 简体中文 · 繁體中文 · 日本語 · 한국어 · Español · Français · Deutsch · Português (Brasil) · Italiano · Русский · English Every violinist knows the feeling. You finish a practice session, bow still in hand, and a quiet doubt creeps in: was I actually in tune? RosinTune answers that. It's a real-time intonation tracker built specifically for violinists. Set it beside your music stand and play — RosinTune listens and shows you exactly where every note lands, note by note, cent by cent. How It Works RosinTune uses your iPhone's microphone to detect pitch as you play. A clear visual display shows whether each note is sharp, flat, or dead center — so a drifting F sharp never sneaks past you again. The feedback is immediate, which means you correct intonation on the spot instead of reinforcing the same mistake across an entire session. Built for Practice, Not Performance No complex setup. No external hardware. No calibration ritual. You open the app and you play, and it stays out of your way until you glance over for feedback. Think of it as a second set of ears — objective, tireless, and always honest. Track Your Growth Intonation improves in small increments, and those increments are hard to feel. RosinTune records your accuracy over time so you can see the trend instead of guessing at it. Are your third-position shifts getting cleaner? Is your intonation tightening up in the higher registers? Session history gives you real numbers — set goals, measure progress, and know when you're genuinely improving. Who It's For * Students building solid intonation habits early, before muscle memory locks in mistakes. * Intermediate players working through shifts, double stops, and unfamiliar keys where the fingerboard feels less certain. * Advanced violinists prepping for auditions or recitals who need an objective check on passages that have started to sound "fine" through sheer repetition. Teachers who want to give students concrete intonation feedback between lessons. What RosinTune Is Not RosinTune is not a tuner. It doesn't play a reference pitch and wait for you to match it — it tracks your intonation continuously while you play real music: scales, etudes, repertoire, at tempo. It's not a recording app, a metronome, or a sheet music viewer either. RosinTune does one thing: it tells you how in tune you're playing, right now and over time. Why It Matters Good intonation is the difference between a violinist who sounds polished and one who sounds uncertain — and it's one of the hardest things to judge while you're the one playing. Your ears adjust. Fatigue sets in. You get used to your own mistakes. RosinTune is an external reference that never gets tired and never lies. Features * Real-time pitch detection tuned for the violin's range and timbre * Visual intonation display with cent-accurate drift indication * Practice session history with accuracy trends and statistics * Clean, focused interface built for at-a-glance feedback while you play * No external hardware — works with your iPhone's built-in microphone * Instant startup, with no calibration or account to set up
