Supernifty – nifty stuff

I’m pleased to announce the release of Audio Tuner Mobile 0.8.

Audio Tuner Mobile is a musical instrument tuner that runs on most Windows Mobile devices, including Pocket PCs and Smartphones.

The software actively tunes your instrument by providing feedback as you play the notes, and many instruments are covered: guitar, ukulele, violin, piano, bass guitar, banjo, mandolin, cello and autoharp.

This release fixes a number of important issues related to landscape mobile phones, and adds a number of new tunings for the ukulele.

A summary of the main changes:

• Instrument and note boxes now stretch across the entire screen.
• The application no longer exits unexpectedly, in particular when the full instrument list or note list is opened.

The new ukulele tunings:

• D tuning: A D F# B
• D tuning with low A
• G tuning: D G B E

Feedback is welcomed.

Supernifty has released version 0.7 of Audio Tuner Mobile.

Audio Tuner Mobile enables you to tune your musical instrument to pitch perfection using your Windows Mobile or Pocket PC.

If you live in a country that uses “,” as its decimal separator… i.e. most of Europe, South America and a bunch of other countries, you may have encountered a problem with Audio Tuner Mobile crashing for specific notes.

This has been fixed. Hurrah!

Turns out decimal points were not being properly dealt with and this was causing the program to crash for specific notes.

I’m so glad to have finally gotten to the bottom of this issue. I hadn’t been able to replicate this in my own “.” based world.

If you have problems, suggestions, feedback or unrelenting praise, please contact me.

Supernifty has released a new version of Audio Tuner Mobile.

Audio Tuner Mobile enables you to tune your musical instrument to pitch perfection using your Windows Mobile or Pocket PC.

Changes in this update:

Better support for crash diagnostics – in the past, a crash resulted in the application instantly disappearing without a trace. Somewhat unhelpful.

In most circumstances, this should no longer happen. You should now get a readable crash report. It would cause me no end of joy if you would forward this to me.

The crash report is also saved to “error.log” under “Program Files/Audio Tuner”, if you miss the message box.

Remember the last tuned note – saves you from having to select the first note every time.

Feel free to pass on any feedback about the software. Problems, suggestions and comments are welcomed.

I’m pleased to announce the release of Audio Tuner version 0.8. Main changes in this version are:

• automatically pick the note being tuned
• remember the last note tuned
• baritone ukulele tuning added

Automatically pick the note being tuned

A number of people have requested this, so now you can try it out.

When the software detects a pitch for more than a couple of seconds, it will move to the nearest note in the selected instrument. So if your instrument isn’t way out of tune then this should save you the time of having to manually change notes each time.

The software also gives a quick beep when it changes notes, so this provides you with a truly hands free instrument tuner.

This turned out to require a bit of tweaking to get working, main factors being

• ignoring signals considered too soft, and
• ignoring harmonics,

so if it doesn’t work properly for you, or you have suggestions for improving the algorithm, please let me know

Any other feedback is of course welcomed.

Audio Tuner Mobile Users

If you’re using Audio Tuner Mobile, then you’ll be thinking that these hands-free improvements would be especially handy (or should that be unhandy?)

Once any problems have been ironed out of the PC version, expect these to be implemented on the mobile version.
