![]() In the future, this will be made adjustable. 2:1 octaves are used for the temperament octave, smoothly progressing to 4:1 octaves to C8, and 8:4 octaves for A0. Version 0.2.2: - Stretch tuning targets are now calculated by first generating tuning targets for each note using octaves. This is particularly noticeable for the lowest notes, which are now detected better. Version 0.2.3: - Note detection is improved by penalizing peaks outside the partial windows for a fundamental candidate. The piano owners that will play around with this software will probably be mostly the same people that tinker around with their piano anyway - because it interests them. New tools and software may make the job possible for more people, but it will not make it that much easier or faster. Tuning an acoustic piano will always be a difficult and time-consuming task - especially for the inexperienced. That's not an insult to anyone's intelligence - it's just a matter of time and priorities. ![]() Much like vehicle owners - probably 90% of whom don't know/care enough about the mechanics of their car to fix it or do routine maintenance themselves. From my experience with pianists (and I have been a pianist much longer than I've been a piano technician), 90% do not care much at all about the mechanics of their instruments, and do not want to be bothered with fixing or tuning it themselves. It will be interesting to see if this gets used by pianist in the future to tune their own piano. That way, I can still monitor for any undue changes that will act as a warning that the piano could be developing problems. Then, I'll record the variations from the machine-generated placements for the A's. I'll start representing the lineage of the particular training I received years ago, rather than a more generic tuning style that an ETD gives. old school.īesides, as I noticed in my "Experiment" thread, there are times when I need to use my ear anyhow. I am changing my approach to using software just for pitch raises and setting UTs. I'm going to get out ahead of this, since it's obvious what's coming. Since this has been and is inevitable, soon anyone will be able to download advanced piano tuning software for no cost. Of course if this works out, I may have to just use software for pitch raises, and then go back to aural only for fine tuning in order to justify my existence LOL!Įdit: In fact, I think I'll be editing my web-site in the next few days. Now if I could just find GNU/Linux piano tuning software, I'd be walking on air I need lots and lots of comments The project seems to be GPL'ed, which is awesome! I only had some Java and some C++.Net courses.
