Online Instrument Tuner | Chromatic tuner for any instrument

What is a Tuner?

A tuner is a device musicians use to detect pitch accuracy. It will let a musician know if the note they are playing is sharp (too high), flat (too low), or if it is in tune. The accuracy of a pitch is what musicians call intonation. Tuners work by detecting the frequency of the pitch (sound waves). For example, an A is 440 Hz. If an A is sharp, it will be 441 Hz or higher. If it is flat, it will register as 439 Hz or lower. While tuners work by tracking hertz, musicians measure how close they are to the pitch in measurements of cents. Cents and hertz are not the same things.

How To Use A Chromatic Tuner?

Playing with a tuner will help develop your intonation and an understanding of the tendencies of your instrument. To use this instrument tuner, make sure the built-in microphone has web access.

Play any note. You will see the needle move and the strobe rotates until it finds the pitch you are playing. This tuner is tuned to A440. Remember, these notes are shown in concert pitch. If you play guitar, piano, or another instrument pitched in C, then you will see the note name of the pitch you play. If you play an instrument that needs to transpose, like a trumpet or French horn, then you will need to understand how to transpose.
Once the tuner recognizes what note you are playing, try to adjust it so that it stays perfectly steady and centered on the dial. If you had to bring the pitch up, you were flat. If you had to bring the pitch down, then you were sharp.
Make an adjustment to your instrument, either by adjusting a slide, a peg, or whatever your instrument’s equivalent is. Play the note again. If the needle and strobe are centered and steady, then your instrument is tuned.

Granting Microphone Access

This tuner will require mic access through your web browser. If you have disabled it in the past, then the tuner will not work.
– Chrome: Go to Settings -> Site Settings -> Microphone and allow this site to access the microphone.
– Firefox: Go to Preferences -> click Privacy & Security -> Scroll down to permissions and select Settings. Search this site and select Allow.
– Safari: Safari > Preferences, then click Websites. Change the microphone setting to allow this site.

How To Practice With A Tuner

Even if your instrument is in tune, there might still be pitches within a musical passage that just don’t sound right. Here is a process to fix any out-of-tune notes.

Start by checking to see if your instrument is generally well-tuned.
Identify the problem notes by playing through a short passage of music (no more than 15 measures). These might be problem notes that are specific to you or they might be due to tendencies with your instrument. For example, on wind instruments, there are certain fingerings that will naturally be sharp or flat.
Once you have found those problem notes, play the passage of music slowly and then stop and hold the problem note and look at the tuner. Try to adjust the note so that it gets in tune (the strobe will stay steady). This might mean changing fingerings, adjusting your embouchure, or playing around with your air support.
Remember the adjustment you made and replay the passage. When you get to the problem note, try to hit it with the adjustment in mind. Hold the note and look at the tuner. How did you do?
Repeat this process until you can consistently hit the note in tune.
Write down what you needed to do in order to make the adjustment in your practice journal or notate it in your music.

What Causes A Note To Be Out of Tune?

Temperature can cause an instrument to be out of tune. If an instrument is cold, it will tend to be flat. If it is hot, it will tend to be sharp. This can be challenging if the ambient temperature is extreme and for wind players as instruments heat up as they play due to hot air. Instruments will require periodic tuning after an hour of continuous play.
Fingering combinations. Wind instruments change the pitch by making the instrument longer or shorter. An easy example to picture is the trombone. When a trombone player extends the slide, the pitch gets lower. The same is true for all wind instruments. However, many instruments have multiple ways to play the same pitch (For example: on a trumpet, pressing the first and second valve is the same as pressing just the third valve). Some fingerings have natural tendencies to be flat or sharp. You might be able to fix this by finding a different fingering combination.
Air support. For wind instruments and vocalists, air support can impact a note’s intonation. Not enough air support will make the note flat.
What role a note plays in a chord. A major chord is made of three notes (the root, the third, and the fifth). For a chord to sound in tune, the third will need to be lowered (lowered by 14 cents) and the fifth will need to be raised (raised by 2 cents). If the third was to be played perfectly according to a tuner, it would be out of tune with the rest of the chord.

How to Tune Chords?

In the last bullet above, we saw that a chord can sound out of tune even though every member of the chord is showing as in tune on a tuner. This is known as “just intonation.” This table is just a guide and not hard rules. Always default to your ear and the ears of those around you. The most common way to discuss chords in a generic way is through numbers which represent the interval relationship to the root of the chord. As an example, the C Major chord has a root of C (it will always be in the name of the chord). The next member of this chord is a third above it, E, so we call it the third. The major third of the chord must be lowered 14 cents in order for it to sound in tune.

Chord	Root	Third	Fifth	Sixth / Seventh
Major Chord	No Adjustment	-14 Cents	+2 Cents	N/A
Minor Chord	No Adjustment	+16 Cents	+2 Cents	N/A
Diminished Chord	No Adjustment	+16 Cents	-17 Cents	N/A
Augmented Chord	No Adjustment	-14 Cents	-17 Cents	N/A

the history of musical art from the first computers to neural networks / Sudo Null IT News

We have already written that now computer technologies make it possible not only to create 3D content, but also to voice characters without, in fact, original voice acting. Artificial intelligence allows you to do a lot of things that previously seemed just fantastic. And, of course, in the near future the list of possibilities will expand.

But how did the development of computer art begin? For now, the article will focus only on music, because if we take the entire field of art as a whole, the volume of one article is simply not enough, you will have to write at least a book, a maximum – a cycle. Well, let’s see what was before and what we have now.

The first musical compositions

At the end of the 50s of the last century, as far as one can judge, American scientists developed an algorithm for creating “computer music”. That is, musical compositions created by a machine based on data provided by a person. First, scientists had to understand and describe the general rules for creating music of different genres, and then download the information to a PC.

The principle of operation was not overly complicated. EVI randomly generated the simplest elements of a musical composition. They were given numbers in the range from 0 to 15.

In addition, the machine used intervals such as the octave unison, minor and/or major fifths, sixths and thirds during operation. All this was necessary in order to eliminate the possibility of dissonance. In the end, everything worked out, the work even got its own name – the Illiac suite.

The video above is exactly how this song sounds. A little strange, but, in general, you can listen.

At the same time, Soviet scientists were working on art in the PC world. So, three years after the publication of this musical composition, the Soviet academician R. Kh. Zaripov published an article “On the algorithmic description of the process of composing music.” Then the music was already written by Soviet computers.

New advances

For several decades, there was active work in this direction, until, closer to the new millennium, a professor in the Department of Music at the University of California named David Klup introduced a new type of software to the world. His own program was called Emily Howell – she already knew how not only to write almost random music, but to create new compositions based on the downloaded “tracks”.

It is worth noting that the author of the software started working back in the 80s – then he experienced some difficulties with writing music with his own hands, so he decided to bring a computer to help. The idea was simple – the program needed to look for unique elements of compositions he had already written in order to use them in new music or simply develop a musical thought, so to speak.

As a result, he wrote the program, but then it turned out that its capabilities are much wider than originally planned. The fact is that the software did not care whose music to analyze and on the basis of what to develop new compositions. As a result, the program could, on the basis of downloaded examples, write music in the style of any composer whose music was allowed to “listen” to the computer.

Below is an example of a composition in the style of Bach, which was written by the new program.

New time

Well, since the 2010s, a real boom in “music technologies” begins. About 6 years ago, one of the representatives of the world of music, a British composer named Eshem Kusha, created an image that later received its own name – Yona. She was a digital singer whose appearance, “personality” and music were written by computer intelligence.

As it turned out, the software developed by Kusha made it possible to use different styles in the “creativity” of this computer character. They could also be combined. Moreover, the developer ensured that artificial intelligence took into account (very approximately, of course) the semantic content of the texts when writing music.

There are a lot of ambiguities here because the developer didn’t fully reveal all the know-how, but it was a breakthrough nonetheless. Music and songs were very unusual. In general, all this is no worse than that of most modern performers.

And quite close to the 20s, another cultural and digital phenomenon appeared, which also received its own name – Lil Michela.

At first, the authors of the computer “singer” decided not to talk about the fact that this is not a person. They started an Instagram account, added songs to Spotify, and collaborated with major companies as an influencer. And it worked – brands entered into million-dollar contracts.

In 2018, when it became known that the singer is not a person at all, the name and songs associated with it became even more popular. True, the difference from the previous “artists” is that the texts and music for the virtual artist were written by people. However, it becomes clear that for a successful musical project it is not at all necessary that the artists be real people. Digital personalities can be successful too. By the way, we recently wrote that voices can be any thanks to machine learning – so you can imagine the near future, where voices, the appearance of artists, musical style and everything else is purely computer.

We also wrote that the computer has already learned to paint pictures and earn money from it. One can also imagine how artificial intelligence writes music, perhaps even individual music, aimed at certain categories of people or individuals. And this music becomes popular. Computer characters can be arbitrarily outrageous, or, conversely, “modest” – you can try a variety of styles, culture and music.

By the way, you should not be afraid that a computer will replace a person in music – rather, it will be either some kind of mixed teams “real artists + PC”, or purely digital artists who get some kind of audience without competing with real groups. After all, there is Hatsune Miku, who sings with a voice that was created by sampling the voice of a live singer using Yamaha Corporation’s Vocaloid software.

Digital music – from the origins to the present » BigPicture.ru

The days when we carried a lot of audio cassettes and records with one or another favorite works are far behind us. Quite recently, about ten years ago, people purchased two or three two-cassette tape recorders for recording and playing analog music, meanwhile, the well-known mp3 format already existed then.

The question arises why, after the collapse of the Soviet totalitarian system, new technologies did not begin to be introduced in the form of digitization of music and the development of complex systems for creating a home computer. Until now, many users are sure that the last computer created in our country was the ZX-Spectrum, which stored data on audio cassettes. The mp3 format did not yet exist in those years, but if it appeared, it would be the first device that would allow digitizing music.

The Macintosh’s leadership in home solutions meant that the first digital melodies were played on these computers. Devices from Intel were not at all ready to play music – there were no outputs, no sound support in these solutions. The subsequent introduction of sound cards into a separate sale made it possible to somewhat improve the situation, and it was sound cards that began to process songs.

Today there are many mp3 format players. First of all, these are mobile phones.

Often, they play music, the latest of which the owner downloads from the Internet. However, when choosing a mobile phone, you must answer one single question – why do you need it? If you plan to use the phone for its intended purpose, for example, to exchange ringtones, you can safely take any device you like. However, if you have large files at your disposal (for example, with club music), then in this case you will have to listen to and download club music for free only on a personal computer. The volume of a mobile phone for such files is not enough.

A completely different situation arises when you need a device to store music. You must understand that music files take up a significant amount of space. Your task is to decide what format of memory cards the selected phone supports and what is the cost of the card. This is due to the fact that some manufacturers wanted to monopolize their memory card market by developing individual formats. The latest memory cards are quite expensive, so the preference should be given to mobile phones with microSD support, which are relatively cheap per unit of volume. This circumstance will allow you to record the largest number of files.

At the same time, there are also devices with a solid amount of internal memory – most often these are smartphones.
