Strobe™ (Android)
"Sweetening" a tuning is the art of using consonance and dissonance to affect the sound of an instrument, and therefore aid the creation of tension and release in music.
Because most tuners can't 'see' better than +/- 1 cent, they can only offer one temperament of tuning, equal temperament. The high-definition tuning resolution strobe tuners provide allow for a totally different tuning experience. Many of our tuners are loaded with presets that see a particular tuning as a group of notes (not just individual pitches). A Peterson tuner can optimize the notes within these groups to be much more consonant with one another and pleasing to the ear; in a word - sweetened.
Over the years, we have developed Sweetened Tuning presets for a variety of instruments. These tuning presets are exclusive to Peterson products as only Peterson strobe tuners can provide the accuracy required to 'dial' them in on your instrument.

How do I read a strobe display?
Adjust your instrument until the pattern is as close to still as possible. Strobe displays are 'real-time' and extremely precise. They require very fine tuning adjustments to stop the display because the frequency/pitch of any instrument is never totally stable.
You'll quickly learn to read the display, make the most precise adjustments and appreciate the high resolution that only a Peterson provides.
