The Art of Tap Tuning

by Roger Siminoff

With more than six decades of luthierie experience, renowned author Roger H. Siminoff has been instrumental in the design and testing of the tap tuning utility in StroboSoft Deluxe.

EASY INTONATION

Use StroboSoft to adjust more than just your tuning. Save time and money by intonating your instruments at home!

Intonate your electrics quickly and easily using StroboSoft's Visual Intonation Guide that employs a 2-step visual indicator system to help you achieve the ultimate in accuracy when setting up your instruments.

The built-in INTONATE function will visually assist you while intonating your instrument. The LED on the selected string will fill with color when you are in the proper octave-just isolate the strobe display and you're done! (Deluxe feature only.)

SIMPLE INTERFACE

Large, illuminated arrows indicate whether your tuning is flat or sharp to assist in tuning direction and make large adjustments easier to discern.

Target Tune switches the NOTE/OCTAVE window functionality over to allow user viewing of what note they are trying to achieve rather than what note they are currently at.

For example, INPUT will allows display the chromatic input signal but switching it to TARGET and engaging the manual note select option will hone StroboSoft to only look for the selected value and ignore any other frequencies.

This is a great feature for tuning to an exact frequency or cent offset.

EXCLUSIVE SWEETENED TUNINGS

Sweetened Tunings™ compensate for the inherent inadequacies of string, brass and woodwind instruments by making minute adjustments in pitch for each instruments standard tuning. Sweetened presets can optimize an instruments playability and tone.

Almost 40 preset Sweetened Tunings™ are available in StroboSoft Deluxe for a variety of instruments. Built-in support for Buzz Feiten (BFTS) equipped instruments is included. (Deluxe feature only.)

LARGE DISPLAY

The large display provides all the traditional tuning information including the note and octave location for the note being tuned.

The multi-view window allows the user to control whether relating note/octave details are displayed as cents (away from target note/octave), Hertz or MIDI note number equivalents.

You can use this window to view offset values in when creating your own stretch tunings or analyzing other preferred tunings.

PLUG AND PLAY

StroboSoft provides everything you need to accurately tune and even set-up your guitar or bass without the need for any expensive additional sound cards!

You can successfully use StroboSoft with your stock hardware by plugging your instrument into the computer's sound card input.

StroboSoft's selectable sampling rate will support all sound cards up to 96kHz.

Use the stereo/mono selectors to tune two instruments at once! Have an electric guitar on the "L" channel while an acoustic can be hooked into the "R", each with individual settings.

SPECTRUM ANALYZER

The spectrum analyzer offers a real-time view of the spectral components on the input signal.

The red 'X' indicates the fundamental note being identified by StroboSoft.

The analyzer can be extremely useful in finding noise present in the incoming signal helping to identify reading difficulties. Harmonic detections and visual recognition of fundamental frequencies can also be seen in the analyzer view.

LINEAR PITCH GRAPH

The Linear Pitch Graph can be very useful when practicing intonation training or trying to measure performance with an instrument.

The graph will display your performance instantly and provide visual feedback that can help isolate problem areas.

Ideal for use practicing chords, embouchure, or vocal training.

Harmonic viewing can also be enabled for a complete linear representation of the incoming audio spectrum. (G3, D3, and A2 shown.)

OSCILLOSCOPE

An oscilloscope is a useful instrument for testing signals because it allows you to see the signals at different points.

The oscilloscope allows the user to view the actual shape of the signal coming into StroboSoft.

Use it to help isolate noise issues such as pick-up noise that could cause tuning problems. Tuning issues due to old strings or new strings that haven't been stretched properly can be quickly viewed and identified.

TAP TUNING UTILITY

For instrument builders, tap tuning is used to adjust the tunings of the various parts of their instruments - soundboards, backboards, air chambers, and apertures - to make instruments that not only sound good, but sound good consistently - instrument to instrument. Tap tuning ensures that the parts of the instruments are tuned to each other as well as to concert pitch, imparting a timbre that is not attainable by merely assembling an instrument.

Adjustable threshold triggering allows complete control of the tuner in any set-up or tuning environment. Average Taps function employs statistical techniques to reject bad "measures" such that a single poor measurement won't affect the results. (Deluxe feature only.)

"If you want to get into serious tuning, investigate Sweetened Tunings, and have presets available for all kinds of instruments and playing options, there's nothing like StroboSoft's extreme degree of accuracy, convenience, and depth."

- Craig Anderton

"With it's pinpoint accuracy, loads of helpful features, and user-friendly interface, the StroboSoft tuner has become my first line of defense in attaining, and preserving sonic uniformity in my sessions."

- Matt Harper, Associate Editor, EQ Magazine

"My first tuning was of my Warwick Thumb bass. I used a sweetened preset and easily tuned the bass. It was very stable compared to other tuners that I have used. I then played with the intonate function on the tuner and discovered that my harmonics were in tune.

I can see that this tuner would be very useful to people setting up their own intonation on stringed instruments. This is a tuner that I will be using for a long time!"

- Spence and UberPro at UberProAudio

"Best tuner I've ever used, bar none. I know it sounds crazy to get excited over a tuner but it's exciting in a really weird way to take an "in tune" guitar (with a different tuner) and fix the tuning so that it's REALLY in tune.

Great for tuning, great for intonation, simply the best tuner I've ever used (I know I said that already, but it's true)!"

- Stephen Amazon Customer

"It's honestly the only software tuning system I've found that works and, as I mentioned. It is endowed with scads more accuracy than any hardware unit I've come across."

- Brad Watts, Review Contributor, Audio Technology Magazine
