This user guide explains how to use the Pitched Tuner Android app developed by Stonekick.
Pitched Tuner allows you to tune your instrument using the microphone on your Android device.
When you first open the app you can choose your preferred note naming convention. This can be changed later from the Preferences menu.
Press the microphone button on the main screen to start tuning in chromatic mode.
Access the instrument tuning screen by pressing the down arrow in the top action bar. Here you can pick from a list of standard tunings. For example, many woodwind or brass instruments tune to a Concert Pitch A, whereas string instruments will tune to different strings. In the pro version of the app you can also create your own custom tunings.
Once you have picked a tuning, the notes will be displayed on the main tuner screen.
Instrument tuning can either be carried out in manual or automatic mode. Tap on a note to lock tuning to this note (manual mode). Unlock the padlock to go back to auto-detecting the note being played.
Tap on the instrument name in the action bar to choose a different instrument tuning or to go back to chromatic tuning.
The Preferences menu can be accessed by pressing the menu icon in the top left hand corner of the main screen.
Here you can set:
Set the sensitivity of the microphone to high, medium, or low.
Vary the tuning pitch from the standard 440Hz.
Change your preferred note naming convention.
Set tuning for non-concert pitch instruments by selecting a note and octave.
Click to display flats instead of sharps.
Change from a light to dark theme.
The sound note screen can be accessed by pressing the note icon in the action bar. Here you can choose a note, octave, and instrument type. Press repeat to play a continuous reference note.
