does it only go by standard tuning or is it able to tune it properly in a custom tune? for example if I were to go drop D would the "E" turn into "D" on the display? Thanks for the help lolz
@TheSugarFreedom lolz yeah I just realized that when you mentioned it ^^" I'm still new with music so the term "chromatic" didn't phase me, thanks for the correction! I realized the mistake XD
@TheSugarFreedom You're a dick. There are always going to be people will lesser and greater knowledge than yourself, so there's no need to be patronising about it.
I LOVE THIS TUNER! I had no idea how out of tune I was trying to use the PODxt's built-in tuner. It seems as accurate, I did a side-by-side comparison with both operating at once, but I think this one gives one more useful information and is far less prone to bogus readings.
The frets on a guitar are determined by the scale length (from nut to bridge) divided by 1.06 for the first fret, the resulting number divided by 1.06 again to get the length for the 2nd fret and so on.
This was so instruments like harpsichords no longer had to be tuned to C maj, sounding good only in that key. The new system was a trade-off between harmonic purity and being able to play in all 12 keys with the same bearable degree of "out-of-tuneness". J.S. Bach was so excited about it that he composed a prelude & fugue, major and minor, for each of the 12keys. 48 individual pieces in all. Fantastic music of course. Title: "The Well-Tempered Clavier" We hear this tuning as "in tune"
Similarly, play a C maj chord and tune it until there are no beats. Then play the D maj chord. Get the point? This is with a perfectly intonated guitar I point out. Equal temperament is based on perfect octaves (A4 = 440 Hz, A5 = 880 Hz, exactly twice the freq) and equally subdivided into 12 semitones. The frequencies are multiples of the twelfth root of 2 (roughly 1.06). Eg, 440 Hz x 2^(1/12) = roughly 466.2 Hz=A# or B flat in the equal tempered scale.
This is a good demo of the product. I got one of these and am very happy with it, though there is a bit of false advert going on: one always sees blue LED's in the ads, but what you get has red LED's. It makes no practical difference of course. Now, as to tuning in equal temperament (which this tuner and all tuners do), you are SUPPOSED to have some beats or oscillations. Play an open D maj chord, and tune the strings until it is perfect. Now play a C maj chord. It sounds crap.
@acbulgin2 They must come in two colors as I have this tuner and the lights on mine are a beautiful blue almost purple color and I just love the color..:)
Yep, that ST-122 sounds really accurate, but for $39.99, I got the Planet Waves one, and 1/1000 of a semitone (.1 cent) is plenty accurate for me. The ST-122 I saw for $130
This pedal is rated at 1/10th of a cent, .1%. Not .01%, meaning 1/100th. This is a good tuner, the second best i have found. The only one that beats it is the Sonic Research S-T 200, which is accurate to .02%.
"The internal time base of each ST-122 Turbo Tuner is calibrated at the factory to +/- 1ppm (that's .0017 cents) and is guaranteed to maintain an accuracy of +/- .02 cents for the life of the product." This is from the Sonic Research page.
@lando885 I am sorry, but you are WRONG. It is as you say accurate to 0.1 or 1/10 of a cent, but a cent is 1/100 of a semitone or half-step. (Like CENTury, a 100 years?) 1/10 X 1/100 = 1/1,000 Thus, this tuner is accurate to within 1/1,000 of a semitone or half step and thus probably capable of discerning a difference in pitch inaudible to the very most acute ear on the planet. Look up "pitch" on Wikipedia if you do not believe me.
can i use this with a cello

@rubbadude It's a chromatic tuner... Wow, I can't believe you actually asked that.
