The Tuner's Built from Experience
We're not exactly green in this game: indeed, in the initial days of the AppStore our first offering was a tuner and a theremin. We have come a long way since, and learnt a few things on the way. We also had the time to sink into this thing. Here's the turn to explain how and hype it up a bit.
Made for Strings
PitchBot isn't just a bot in name: our team is made of AI specialists who just happen to be musicians. For a year, they used lab equipment to measure and classify how a plucked string sounds in the eyes of a mobile device. They wrote their algorithms accordingly. Admittedly, we don't care if you measure a 11025 Hz sine wave from your quantized oscillator: but if the instrument you're tuning has strings on it, PitchBot vows to be the best there is.
Music is Important
Before the development started, we have sent out a field agent to consult with working musicians, many of them our friends. From the dinkiest NYC club to the most dignified European venue, we have listened to their needs and suggestions in developing our new tuner. Getting in tune is the first task of the night, and we're constantly reminded it doesn't need to be a chore. We hope that PithcBot reflects this philosphy.
Versatility
PitchBot combines a sure-fire interface with the complementing quickness. It is designed to be used in a wide range of settings, whether you're resting it on top of your amp in the rehearsal room, or tuning up an unplugged guitar in your bedroom. Although much of the innovation is under the hood, it also gives you adjustable reference pitch, transposition and tracking sensitivity.
And What's the Point?
Available at a fraction of the competition, PitchBot is a tuner dedicated for string players (guitar, mandolin, uke, and everything in the league). Try it and see; despite all our hype, it may become the best bang for your buck, and possibly the only tuner you'll need until a better robot comes along.
