Sweeping graph in IC Piano Tuner, I have not found any other software capable of providing such a key feature, even IC Piano Tuner has been released over five years.As to the trichord tuning, I guess you mean tuning by pitch, which is the basic task for every piano tuning software including IC Piano Tuner (among one of its functions). And I don't think any software can do better than others with pitch tuning of unison. The task is merely a Fourier transform of the sound wave and picking the harmonics (the partials) out. The accuracy is governed by the duration of the sound wave. If you happened to get a poor resolution of the pitch, it is likely you chose a time duration (selectable in IC Piano Tuner) which is too short. Three seconds is better than one second, for example. But longer time means slower tuning process. So it is a trade-off.Further a disadvantage of tuning based on pitch is that one doesn't know how close two strings' pitches should be (here we are not talking about experience, rather, just in principle) until checking the beating between them. Although it is less a problem in lower keys, it is getting harder for keys at the high end.BillJoined: Nov 2017Posts: 13Junior MemberJunior MemberJoined: Nov 2017Posts: 13IC Piano Tuner: Beating between F3 and A3 stringswww.youtube.com/embed/BACt71n9PVoJoined: Nov 2008Posts: 6,4276000 Post Club Member6000 Post Club MemberJoined: Nov 2008Posts: 6,427Thanks for posting the video!

For the beginner, overtuning happens all the time as well as losing the tuning direction, therefore a software like IC Piano Tuner capable of identifying problem quickly is very useful. A beating sweeping graph does not take significantly more time than aural tuning (due to the high sensitivity, it may actually reduce the tuning time significantly especially for the pitches at the high end of the keyboard), since it merely translates the sound into a real time picture which can be captured easily even for people lack of aural training. And it actually can provide more accurate and more detail about the tuning, e.g., identifying some problems of the partials of the string(s) (which may be due to the sound echo of the room, typically happening at a specific partial), especially for those keys at the high end of the piano. A microphone is more sensitive than an ear to detect the beating, but I have to say not all beatings are important. An experienced tuner has great value in his ability to tell what is important and what is not. Therefore IC Piano Tuner is a tool to help, not to replace the experience, although it will facilitate the process of learning.The video is just an introduction demonstrating how tuning based on visual beating graph works. By no means will it imply to tune just two strings with the time spent on the video. You don't need to wait the sound gone before striking the string again to check your tuning. And again how fast you tune the piano depends mainly on the sensitivity of your hammer tuning skill, whether using IC Piano Tuner or aural tuning.BillLast edited by Bill-ICPT; 03/24/19 09:03 AM.Joined: Oct 2004Posts: 1,4311000 Post Club Member1000 Post Club MemberJoined: Oct 2004Posts: 1,431I can see how this product might be useful to someone just learning to hear beats, but beyond that, it doesn't seem very useful.

A perfect tuning in this case would be like an exponentially decaying curve. The curve in the video is slightly off from that if you examine the tail closely. As an introduction video, a perfect tuning is not the focus, as a beginner has too many things to worry about. An experienced tuner can easily hit the dead sound for the unison aurally. IC Piano Tuner helps a beginner connect the visual curve and the sound, facilitating the training of the ear.Beyond the tuning of the unison, IC Piano Tuner offers other functions such as stretch tuning from C4 to B4 key-by-key, which are useful for beginners as well as more advanced tuners. And the beating function does not stop at unisons, it also applies to, e.g., perfect 4th and 5th. With IC Piano Tuner, an experienced tuner does not need a clock to count the beat, since the beating is shown on the sweeping graph in real time with more accurate result than the counting with a clock. It is expected a microphone is more sensitive than the ear. If you can hear, it can hear too. If it can hear, you can see in the sweeping graph.

You have obviously done a lot of hard work on this application. I would be more interested if there was a digital read out of bps of the chosen interval (or simply the chosen nearly coincident partial). As an aural tuner, beat progression is what is important, not cents from theoretical nor even bps from theoretical. What a great training tool it could be! Imagine playing F-A and then F#-A# and quickly tell if the difference in beat rates is about 0.5bps (as it should normally be) or only 0.2bps or too much at 0.8bps. Trying to guess it on a graph just isn't accurate enough.Jeff DeutschlePart-Time TunerWho taught the first chicken how to peck?Joined: Nov 2017Posts: 13Junior MemberJunior MemberJoined: Nov 2017Posts: 13Hello Jeff,Thank you for your suggestions. The digital readout of bps for the pair F3-A3 is actually displayed on the video screenshot above, in red numbers, next to the fifth partial graph. "6.9" in the small window is the measured bps. "5:4(6.9)" above it is the beating frequency ratio and the bps of the equal temperament (in this case the measured bps happens to be same as the equal temperament). The names of F3-A3 pair are shown on the top ("KEY ID" and "Beat Reference"). Red number for wide and blue for narrow.Nevertheless, your comments are very helpful. I will consider to add some function to make it more efficient when one change a pair to the next pair (e.g., F3-A3 to F#3-A#3 and so on). Please continue to post your comments and suggestions. Thank you!BillLast edited by. Download IC Piano Tuner latest version for Windows. IC Piano Tuner latest update: FebruIC Piano Tuner for Windows - Free download and software
