Re: OT: high-precision tuner app

[N. Andrew Walsh]

Hi Urs,

Intunator does not seem to allow me to *set* the deviation in cents, which is what I need. That is, I need to pre-set the tuner to "B-flat minus 45.62 cents" or whatever, and then be able to use it to tune my instrument to match. 

Cheers,

A

Hi List,

I'm guessing somebody on the list might be able to help me with a somewhat off-topic issue. 

For whatever reason (or rather: see my previous posts to the list about my interest in just intonation) I'm trying to find a tuning app capable of tuning to very precisely-set reference pitches. That is, when dealing with music in just intonation, it's very common to describe a pitch with something like "C# -49.52c" where the latter part is a deviation in cents from a standard reference pitch (which can also be set as "A440" or some other tuning pitch [which is sometimes necessary when dealing with European orchestras inexorably tuning themselves higher and higher to seem more "flashy" or whatever]). I'm trying to find a (preferably free) Android app that can be set as precisely as possible, and then provide visual feedback to tune my instruments. 

I normally use a Peterson virtual strobe tuner, but the screen is failing, and it gets wobbly if the pitch isn't from an organ or similarly stable instrument. It oftentimes jumps from the tuning pitch to its fifth, and is hard to read.

Is there an app out there that has the capability I'm looking for? I'm having a hard time searching, because a lot of apps don't specify what they mean when they say they can be fine-tuned, and they usually don't mean this. I'd *like* it if I could get at least one decimal place; two would be even better.

I figure some of you work with tuners a lot, and might have some tips.

Thanks for the help!
