ScopeTune vs iChromatic Usage & Stats
Tune your instrument, your ear, and your brain with a new, patent-pending approach to pitch. The 12 simultaneous o-scope displays are each locked to scan at the rate of a different note, and display live audio from the device's built-in microphone in your choice of wave or bar-density displays. When the note you're playing exactly matches a frequency, your waveform is frozen in place, in sync with that line's scan, but will drift left or right as your pitch drifts flat or sharp, going out of sync with the scan.
BENEFITS
• Instantly spot any note "frozen" while you play, and simultaneously see resonances with other pitches.
• See how your waveform reflects changes in your tone.
• Tune just/perfect intervals as waves from two notes line-up in sync with each other, and learn how to adjust a centered pitch to line-up with harmonics of another.
• Tune instruments which extend above or below the effective range of traditional tuners.
• Adjust scale and display-type to spot your waveform on a busy screen, even in noisy environments where some tuners have trouble "locking on" to your sound.
• Choose higher or lower octaves as suits your range, line-up to a desired frequency or precision level.
Best of all, gain insight into the physics of sound, and the interdependency of science and art.

The HotPaw iChromatic Strobe Tuner uses the built-in microphone on your iPhone to allow you to tune a musical instrument rapidly and precisely via an animated visual display.
For your iPad, please see the iChromatic Strobe Tuner HD. For guitar tuning, please see the HotPaw inTuna Strobe Guitar Tuner. Both of these apps are also here in the iOS app store.
iChromatic includes both a frequency readout and 3 highly accurate and responsive waterfall strobe panes which allow extremely precise tuning. When the waveform patterns line up vertically as well as stop moving sideways in the strobe panes, this indicates that the input pitch (or a strong harmonic of the pitch) matches the frequency of the nearest equal temperament note.
With the waterfall strobe tuning window, even very slight differences in frequency between the pitch detected and the target perfect pitch will cause the abstract waveform to waver or move sideways as it cascades down the strobe window. iChromatic also includes a pitch frequency readout in Hz and cents. Configuration options include a Concert A reference frequency adjustment in both Hz and Cents.
Please try the Free inTuna A440 app, also in the iOS App store, before purchasing iChromatic, to see if you appreciate the advantages of using a strobe tuner.
Tuning range using the built-in iPhone microphone is from 2 octaves above middle-C to 2 octaves below.
