ULTRATUNER - THE MOST PRECISE iOS TUNER EVER
Category Price Seller Device

UltraTuner features one of the fastest, smoothest and most responsive tuning engines of all the tuner apps on the market.

UltraTuner is precise to a 1/100th of a cent, far beyond human perception of pitch. In fact, it’s 10 times more accurate than a mechanical strobe tuner (considered the “gold standard” of tuners). UltraTuner’s accurate pitch detection is achieved through a proprietary dual-analysis processing engine, which allows it to get a much more accurate reading of the frequency from the incoming note than most other tuners. UltraTuner’s fast response makes tuning a mechanical instrument a breeze. Its extreme precision also makes it the perfect app tuner for intonating stringed instruments like guitar or bass, as well as for calibrating electronic instruments like vintage synths.

UltraTuner’s speed and precision provides players and engineers with a pocket-sized professional instrument tuner that’s always with them. It offers two basic modes of operation: Stage and Studio.

Stage Mode

When in Stage mode, UltraTuner is a straightforward, ultra-accurate instrument tuner featuring a unique, simple interface that’s easy to see in low-light conditions. It features a graduated flat and sharp display to indicate degrees from pitch. When the note is in tune, the display turns green. UltraTuner utilizes the entire device screen for tuning, so it is easily visible from a distance on dimly lit stages.

Studio Mode

In Studio mode, UltraTuner provides wave visualization that gives a qualitative feedback of the pitch deviation as a simple right/left motion of the real waveform of your instrument. A flat note will move the waveform to the left, while a sharp note will move it to the right. A note whose pitch is dead center is represented by a still waveform. Additionally, by simply tapping on the main studio display, it’s possible to switch to the pitch-tracking visualisation.

The pitch tracking visualisation allows players to monitor pitch over time. This is especially useful in the studio for monitoring pitch of non-chromatic instruments like vocals, violin and brass etc., on recordings over time, and very useful for vocal and instrument pitch training.

Fast calibration

In the settings window, players can quickly calibrate the “A” note, set the temperament type, set the root key for tracking and adjust the audio sensitivity. UltraTuner can use the device’s built-in microphone for audio input, and works with all analog or digital audio interfaces for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, like IK’s iRig HD, iRig PRO, iRig STOMP, iRig and iRig MIC.

Apple Watch compatibility

UltraTuner is now compatible with Apple Watch so that the Stage mode is mirrored on the watch’s display for quick and easy reference. An additional, simpler “note only” mode is available swiping the Watch display.

UltraTuner features:

• Innovative engine that allows responsiveness and high accuracy (+/- 0.01 cent)
• Dual modes: Stage and Studio
• Large tuning indication visible at a distance (Stage mode)
• Tuning history to see tuning variations over time (Studio mode)
• Useful not only for tuning, but also for non-chromatic instrument training
• Audiobus and Inter-app audio compatible
• Compatible with Apple Watch in Stage Mode visualization

Reviews

Excellent!!
Beastiebb

Works great and the accuracy is amazing! Being able to buy a tuner app for 5 that is better than $200 stomp boxes can't be beat! Plus you'll always have a tuner in your pocket.


I've been looking for a good tuning app
macearth

Loaded quick, works just like it says. Great app.


Needs to be finished

No landscape view? iPad version is scaled phone version? They are charging money for this? Try finishing the simple details before releasing a commercial product.


Incredibly accurate
T_Doggie

I have downloaded numerous music apps and tuners in the past three years, and I've yet to find one that works as well and is as sensitive as this tuner. The studio mode is astonishingly accurate and the interface is very smooth. I've only used it several times and have yet to use my iRig connection directly to it, only using the built-in microphone on my iPad. Twelve-string guitars are especially difficult to tune with any device. Not with this tuner. The Ultra Tuner is the best I have ever used and I highly recommend it. For $4.99 it's a worthwhile purchase and once you get comfortable with it, I doubt you will ever use another iOS tuner. While this is sold as an iPhone tuner, it works just as well on an iPad.


So far, so good

So far, so good .. IK Tuner will have to earn the other two stars after I use this for a couple gigs and updates / customer service.


Great app!!
Shlome Spielman

Very useful for musicians.. I use it all the time.


Paid for Adverts?

The tuner works great! It's been very helpful and very convenient. However, my qualm is this. I paid money for this app, and every time I open it I get a little pop-up add for another one of their products. Not cool.


Not quite what it should be
jp-pastor

1) Because I paid for this I shouldn't be subjected to interrupting advertisements from the company. 2) the mic sensitivity is not very good, the noise cancellation/pitch detection is unreliable. 3) some interface changes would be helpful, for example larger arrows in the strobe section.

Nice tuner except for the pop ups . Telling me about other apps I don't want.


Un reliable app
Eben Menz
