How Low Can a Tuner Go?
Read more: How Low Can a Tuner Go?StroboPro now reaches 13.75 Hz StroboPro can now track pitches down to 13.75 Hz. I don’t know why you would want to go that low, but I saw another paid iLOK/DRM tuner claiming 14Hz so I decided… why not? Why low frequencies are difficult to tune The go-to for many apps is to use an…

StroboPro: 0.01 Cent Precision
Read more: StroboPro: 0.01 Cent PrecisionA closer look at 0.01-cent precision StroboPro now includes Brag Mode (or “Precision Readout” in advanced settings), a test display that can show current pitch at a ridiculous 0.01-cent resolution. It’s purpose? To prove the claim of <0.1 cent resolution is true. It’s pretty ridiculous; in reality, acoustic instruments can’t be measured to 0.01 cents,…

Inharmonicity in Stringed Instruments: A Complete Guide
Read more: Inharmonicity in Stringed Instruments: A Complete GuideInharmonicity is a physical phenomenon in stringed instruments, most notably the piano, where the overtones of a vibrating string are naturally sharper than their theoretical mathematical values. While we often think of musical harmonics as perfect integer multiples of a fundamental frequency, real-world strings possess physical stiffness that pushes these “partials” slightly sharp, creating a…

Best Tuner for Bass Guitar: Why Low-Frequency Accuracy Is Critical
Read more: Best Tuner for Bass Guitar: Why Low-Frequency Accuracy Is CriticalConsider, for your bass guitar, StroboPro, a multi-harmonic strobe tuner app that maintains <0.1 cent accuracy even at A0. Instead of relying on Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), StroboPro uses direct phase comparison – the same principle that light and physics make possible on classical hardware strobe tuners – to deliver high precision on web, iOS,…

Best Guitar Tuner App: How Strobe Technology Beats FFT Tuners
Read more: Best Guitar Tuner App: How Strobe Technology Beats FFT TunersStrobe tuners with support for chromatic running are ideal for guitar tuning, comparing phase directly against a reference signal for 0.1 cent accuracy at any frequency. For the full technical breakdown (accuracy, response time, low-frequency performance, and a head-to-head comparison table), see our Strobe Tuner vs Regular Tuner: Complete Technical Comparison. This article focuses on…

StroboPro: The Google Docs of Tuning
Read more: StroboPro: The Google Docs of Tuning… This was my vision for StoboPro when I started working on it: StroboPro: The Google Docs of Tuning The second vision was StroboPro: The World’s Most Precise and Accurate Tuner. The second vision, The World’s most Precise and Accurate Tuner, was accomplished several years ago, with the first web release. But the first vision,…

Ancient bugs squashed 🐜 ☠️
Read more: Ancient bugs squashed 🐜 ☠️During a recent update, I found these two typos hanging around. The have made everything “slightly worse” since the release of StroboPro… but… nobody, including my unit tests, never really noticed 🤷. From version 1.0.190, expect ever-so-slightly better pitch detection in StroboPro than previous versions 🎉. Sometimes you have to open the hood again, even…
