But that is all irrelevant really as on the main screen are all of the notes you need to tune a ukulele whether in standard C tuning, or indeed any tuning. In this app, there is no dedicated ukulele setting, but I just left it on the Key of C option (though there are others for other tunings). It's fiddly (as is the Peterson) but this is the stage of getting that 1/10th of a percent accuracy. It tricks the brain in to seeing a frozen image at certain speeds in a real strobe wheel - in the app it's simulated but works the same way - allowing for extremely accurate tuning. Some of my older readers may recall this strobe pattern being used on the edge of record deck platters to adjust speed. To use a strobe tuner you adjust your tuning until the strobe pattern for the note you are looking for slows to a complete stop. The app uses the devices microphone input to register, and before you hit a note you will see that all of the wheels are spinning wildly in a blurry fashion (that I can't show on a photograph for obvious reasons) Top left shows the note that is being registered, top right in red is a large strobe wheel, and at the bottom 12 mini strobe wheels for each of the musical notes. The tuner gets into its ‘inactive’ state when there is no button pressed for 30 seconds.On opening the app you are presented with a simple looking screen.After selecting the ‘Backlight’ menu item, the tuner will display its list of three menu modes: Selecting this option will alter the Internet tuner’s backlight brightness. Use this option to set the time, to set an alarm and to view the current alarm setting, see “Setting the alarm”. This will display a key that can be used to register the tuner on the Grace Digital Customer portal: Passwords, my stuff stations and podcast that were saved on our web site will be saved all re-Īssociate with your tuner after you power back on, log onto your network and download a new stations list. Please note that your Tuner’s serial number will still be registered with your Grace Digital internet tuner account (assuming you already registered the tuner). Perform a factory reset on your tuner you will lose all your presets and your wireless network Puts all the settings back to their defaults as they were when the unit left the factory. Do NOT switch off the power to the Tuner until the operation is complete or permanently damage may result.Īllows you to change the display language. IMPORTANT do NOT interrupt the upgrade once started. A Firmware upgrade may take several minutes. Should accept to upgrade however you can press the Tuner’s ‘Back’ button to cancel the Tuner from beginning the firmware upgrade.
