PhonTuner 2.0.3 by Display Research Laboratory
"Phonature PhonTuner is an advanced tuner for musical instruments tuning and vocal practice. It is the FIRST precision tuner to detect off-tuned notes in recordings and uninterrupted performance. Enjoy seeing the secrets of popular singers' tonal accuracy and temperament used by top violinists ;-) It can also alert you when your piano needs tuning.
Based on the Mathematical Cochlea of Phonature theory, less than 0.5% tonal frequency difference over a 3 octave range can be clearly seen. Calibrated Sound Texture pattern in the middle reflects the timbre of sound and reveals fusing of multi-part voices. PhonTuner indicates the playing note on the Mathematical Cochlea with a big dot and needle for you to see clearly whether it matches the target tone. Singing mode automatically shows singing or whistle in the chromatic scale from C2 to C8; users can define target tones for up to 6 strings from C3 to C6 in Custom mode."
As a musician, I find this application fascinating...any other musicians out there using this? [Affiliate]

What do you play? or do you sing?
I play (or at least used to play, haven't in a while) acoustic guitar.. I tried to sing once, but broke a bunch of stuff (including my eardrums) so I stopped that.
My wife's a music teacher & performer... I bet she'd love this!! It'll be a great excuse to get her a Pocket PC to replace her Visor!

Yee Haw! I'm going to give this a go. I do a lot of singing at my church and would love to know how far off I am! (not "if")
I recently did my first recording and cringed the whole time.  ops: Maybe this will help. :wink:

I've been playing bass guitar for 11 years now, and I've been singing for about seven years. :mrgreen: I did the "Christian rock band" thing for a few years (we were called Sound Doctrine). Heh heh. :lol: That just inspired me to look up an up old picture from a rock show we did when I was about 20 years old.

[EDIT]
Ok, I dug up an even better "rock star" picture. :rock on dude!: :lol:

Oh the horror stories I could tell you about when I worked on my first album...the horror...! You don't realize how imperfect your voice is until you hear it played back to you. ops: :lol:

I play sax, piano, and organ and this could help tune my sax. I've never seen a tuner with that cloud/nebula thing in the middle...interesting.

Would that be after a sample of the piano and calibrated to it, or on frequency/pitch alone?
Most pianos are not tuned right on pitch but to themselves (as most of us found out the hard way when going from school to someones house to practice). If the app can be calibrated (like a lot of good stand alone tuners) and change it's scale accordingly.....that does put it above most of the current PPC offerings.
I've been tinkering with JB FreqTune www.frequencytuner.solcon.nl which can't "learn" but it does have temperment settings and lets you adjust the scale manually.
Of Course, no PPC tuner could ever get me to give up my beloved Sabine Ax-2000 http://www.sabine.com/newsite/liveapps/iax2000w.htm

Well, Jason - I have to say, that's wierd. When I first started reading PocketPCThoughts almost two years ago, I thought it was cool that you're from Alberta - I grew up there and lived in Edmonton :twisted: for six years. You were in a church band (as was I) and you're a bass player - like me!
I'm a Jason wanna-be and didn't even know it!

Haha...that's hilarious! What's even funnier is that the photos I posted above were taken at a Christian Rock festival called Harvest Moon that was held in...Edmonton. 8O What a small world eh? :mrgreen:
