Clip-on guitar tuner

Review: The compact, affordable, and easy-to-use Korg Pitchclip tuner offers highly accurate tuning, fast and ultra-responsive results, and excellent visibility.

As you play a string, the built-in piezo sensor will quickly sense the instrument's vibrations and indicate the pitch in the meter. The tuner and display portion of the pitchclip is extremely compact; the battery compartment has been integrated into the clip itself.

Korg Pitchclip features fast pitch detection and processing, accuracy with i1 cent, and a detection range that covers from A0 to C8. The pitchclip's bright LED display ensures high contrast and a wide angle of visibility; the meter indication remains clear even in dimly lit locations. Adjustable through 120 degrees, the meter/display section can be raised to provide the player with good visibility while tuning in a natural position.

A newly engineered type of rubber is used in the clip, allowing the reliable attachment to a variety of headstocks; ukulele, electric bass, classical guitar and so on. By relocating the battery compartment to the clip section, the meter display section has been made lighter and slimmer, lowering the overall center of gravity.

LCD Guitar/bass tuner

Review: For nearly a decade, the Korg GA-30 Guitar and Bass Tuner has stood among the top-selling tuners on the planet. Now meet the GA-1, offering the same excellent features with a new, enhanced design all at the same great price.

High accuracy and superb functionality have made Korg tuners the worldwide favorite. And now, the new GA-1 joins the best-selling GA series of tuners. With even more features, like a pitch reference tone and quinta-flat tuning, the GA-1 tuner packs basic functionality and convenient tuning functions into ultra-compact bodies.

This dedicated guitar/bass tuner lets you select either guitar mode or bass mode for truly easy operation with automatically detected pitch. The wide detection range supports 7-string guitar (7B through 1E) in guitar mode, and 6-string bass (Low-B, Hi-C) in bass mode. A high-sensitivity mic is built-in, allowing easy and accurate tuning of acoustic guitars.

Although the GA-1 is small, thin, and light, don't let its pocket-sized body fool you. The GA-1 can accurately tune any guitar or bass. From studio to stage, tuning is easy and convenient. The back of the unit includes a unique arc-shaped tilt slit that lets you insert a plastic card for use as a handy stand.

The meter section uses a LCD needle, combining the accuracy of an LCD with the easy visibility of a needle, and providing a stable display. Additional visual feedback is provided by LEDs that indicate pitch deviation.

In addition to visual tuning via meter, the GA-1 can play reference pitches from its internal speaker (Sound Out) for tuning by ear. Each press of the sound switch will cycle the output sound through 7B->6E->5A->4D->3G->2B->1E in guitar mode, or LB->4E->3A->2D->1G->HC in bass mode.

The GA-1's quinta flat tuning mode supports the lowered tunings used in heavy metal styles to give more weight to the sound. Most dedicated guitar tuners support a maximum of only 4 semitones below standard pitch, but the GA-1 gives you 5 steps of flatted tuning, extending as far as 5 semitones below standard pitch, and supporting even super-long scale guitars that are 5 frets longer than conventional guitars.

If you leave the unit powered-on for 20 minutes without performing any operation, the auto power off function will turn the power off automatically, avoiding unnecessary battery consumption.

Low-power consumption design allows an amazing 100 hours (approximate) of continuous battery life (A4 continuous input, Meter mode, zinc-carbon batteries).

Headstock clip-on electric guitar tuner

Review: The HeadTune is a clip-on tuner with a unique design that's based on the shape of a guitar, bass, or ukulele headstock. With the headtune attached to the headstock of your instrument, play a single note on the string that you want to tune. 2 x indicators will illuminate: the string indicator LED will show the peg position, and the LED meter will indicate the tuning of that note. This makes it obvious which peg needs to be adjusted.

You can choose from a lineup consisting of 4 x models: 2 x models that are suitable for standard guitar headstocks, a model for bass, and a model for ukulele. With the innovation and precision you expect from Korg, the HeadTune makes tuning easy.

This makes it obvious which peg you should adjust and how it should be adjusted. Since you can tune your instrument even if you don't remember the note names of each open string, this makes using the headtune especially easy for beginners.

Polyphonic tuner pedal for guitar and bass

Review: The Pitchblack series of high-performance pedal tuners bring together Korg's legendary tuner accuracy, versatility, and reliability along with easy-to-see displays and stylish diecast aluminum bodies. Now, the remarkable Pitchblack Poly adds the convenience of polyphonic tuning to the acclaimed pedal tuner line-up.

The Pitchblack Poly features Korg's revolutionary polyphonic tuning. Simply strum your guitar and the tuner will show which strings are in tune and which strings are out of tune, all in a single glance. Tuning with a traditional tuner required checking every string, one at a time, including strings that may have been perfectly in tune. Using the Pitchblack Poly's advanced polyphonic tuning, you can quickly see which strings are out of tune and adjust only those strings, saving time and letting you get back to playing! Guitar or bass (up to 6-strings) use is detected automatically, so there's no need to change settings.

Guitarists who use especially a floating tremolo system will have noticed that one out-of-tune string may affect the tuning of the other strings, so a single flat string may cause the other strings to sound sharp. With a traditional tuner, this may require tuning and retuning each string multiple times. The Pitchblack Poly makes it easy to identify and correct the one flat string, causing the other strings to sound their correct pitch.

Strumming the guitar displays the tuning status of every string, making it easy to see which string is out of tune. Simply turn the tuning peg for that string, and the String Seeker feature will automatically detect the string you are adjusting, and instantly display its tuning status in the large meter located in the upper part of the tuner. In addition to ensuring that you've tuned each of the out-of-tune strings, this convenient design also allows stress-free tuning even for those using a polyphonic tuner for the first time.

The upper display provides a large, high-visibility meter with a row of bright white and blue LEDs that clearly indicate any pitch discrepancy. The lower display contains the meters for the individual strings. These will switch between bright red and green LEDs according to the mode. In the polyphonic mode, they show the tuning status of all strings. For mono tuning, they provide a large display of the note name. Large, bright, and colorful, this double-meter LED display ensures superb visibility, even when the unit is on the floor of a dark stage or in daylight conditions.

When tuning individual strings using the Pitchblack Poly, you can choose from four LED meter display modes to suit your needs: Regular Meter, Full Strobe, Half Strobe, or Split.

Regular Meter mode: As when using a needle-type meter tuner, tune the string so that the white LED in the center of the meter is lit. The illuminated LED will move to the right if the string is sharp, or toward the left if the string is flat.

Full Strobe mode: Tune the string so that the LED meter illumination stops flowing. The illumination will flow from left to right if the string is sharp, or from right to left if the string is flat.

Half Strobe mode: Tune the string so that the LED meter illumination stops flowing and only the center white LED is lit. The right side of the LED meter will strobe if the string is sharp; the left side if the string is flat. When the pitch is correct, only the center LED will be lit.

Split mode:This mode is a first for the pitchblack series. It's a hybrid of Meter mode and Half Strobe mode. Tune the string so that the lit LEDs at left and right converge in the center. If the string is sharp, the right side of the meter shows the amount of the discrepancy, and the left side shows a half-strobe display. If the string is flat, the left side of the meter shows the amount of the discrepancy, and the right side shows a half-strobe display

The second generation G2M converter

Review: The G2M V2 remains a monophonic device. Forget about converting chords to MIDI, as this accommodates single-note lines only. On the other hand because of this, the guitar doesn't need any kind of special hex pickup. You plug your guitar into the G2M V2's audio input, then patch its MIDI output to a hardware MIDI synth (or if you want to drive software synthesizers, to a computer's MIDI interface). Also note that a Thru output is available so you can send your guitar to a tuner, amp, etc.

As with any guitar-to-MIDI device, you have to learn how to adapt your playing for the best tracking and take the time to find out what settings on your guitar work best (generally a neck humbucker pickup with the tone control rolled back a bit gives the best results). You'll need to play articulately and often slower than you might otherwise, so the G2M V2 is far more likely to find a home in the studio than playing live.

Another issue is that the type of synthesizer patch you feed with the G2M V2 matters. Just changing the instrument's response from polyphonic to monophonic, can improve tracking dramatically, as can switching in legato mode (if available).

Physically, the second-generation version is almost identical to the first: the small plastic case includes built-in LED indicators for clipping, MIDI out, power, tuner and low battery. However, the boost switch is now the chromatic switch.

Overall, the tracking is more accurate, faster and less glitch-prone.

Designed for 4, 5, 6 & 7 string bass guitars

Review: The Sonuus B2M brings affordable and reliable MIDI capability to bass guitar. Sonuus have been inundated with requests for the B2M and they are sure this will bring delight to bassists the world-over. With ultra-low-latency and unmatched affordability, the B2M breaks new ground in MIDI performance for bass players, it will even track a low B (which is only 30Hz).

No modifications are required to your bass guitar; no special pickups to install and nothing needs to be stuck onto your instrument. It works with all electric bass guitars without any setup or tweaking.

The Sonuus B2M universally appeals to all bassists from novices to seasoned professionals. Keenly priced to fit any budget, with the robust reliable performance expected by the finest stagemen.

Research has shown us that the most important aspect for pitch-to-MIDI conversion is reliable and reproducible triggering of notes. While low-latency is important, robust triggering is the key to usability, you can easily adapt to some latency, but you cannot adapt to random, spurious notes. By virtue of the unique, inherently robust technology used in the B2M, you will be able to reliably generate accurate MIDI quickly and easily. Notes are generated exactly as played, and the nuances of your performance are captured with fast, accurate pitch-bend data. What's more, you also get very low latency.

The built-in tuner uses Sonuus' Pulsar tuning technology where the power LED doubles as a tuning indicator. This innovative tuner gives you a fast and accurate way to tune your bass guitar.

Featuring a high-impedance input circuit, the B2M won't sap your tone when using it in-line before your amp, or other effects pedals. You can then easily combine MIDI sounds with your normal bass sound for some exciting musical possibilities.

For optimal MIDI conversion, your playing needs to be clean and accurate. Accidental notes, resonating open strings and other sounds can often be converted into undesired MIDI notes. Often you don't hear these when playing the bass on it's own, but you can detect them easily when listening live to the generated MIDI.

Striving to improve MIDI note accuracy, encourages clean picking and accurate fingering, with good control over non-sounding strings by damping them. Not only will your MIDI output be more accurate, your normal playing will sound clearer and more professional. It's like having a tutor sitting beside you giving you advice. It's also great fun!
Most of all, it's Fun.

When you try the B2M and generate some new sounds, the first thing that strikes you is how much fun it is. Unleash new creative inspiration and invigorate your soul.

Guitar and bass tuner pedal with extensive, advanced capabilities and features

Review: The Pitchblack+ is a high-end, pro-quality pedal tuner boasting ultra-high tuning accuracy within a range of +/-0.1 cents. Housed in a sleek black aluminium die cast body, this pedal tuner packs a versatile range of tuning modes such as chromatic, standard (guitar/bass), open D, open E, open G, open A, and DADGAD, and also lets you create up to five custom tuning programs of your own with any temperament you specify. This is ideal for accommodating special tunings such as ethnic instruments and stretched tuning. The Pitchblack+ also supports tuning for seven-string guitars and six-string basses. In addition, you can use the flat tuning mode to tune your instrument as many as seven semitones below standard pitch. With a broad tuning range of E0 (20.60 Hz) to C8 (4186 Hz) and calibration that's adjustable in a range of 436-445 Hz, you'll be able to tune with an unprecedented degree of accuracy. The Pitchblack+ also offers a new level of high-precision tuning demanded by professional guitar and bass players for the recording studio or in live performance.

The Korg Pitchblack+ features a large 13-segment LED meter. In conjunction with the tuning guides located below the meter that indicate whether your instrument is sharp or flat, the smooth-moving LEDs provide highly visible confirmation for accurate tuning at any viewing angle. The note name, tuning mode, and calibration are shown by large, highly-readable displays in green and red, and the tuner on/off status is shown by a red LED, ensuring that you'll see everything you need even if you're on a dimly-lit stage. You can choose between two types of display modes: Single mode and Double mode. In Single mode, you can choose between Meter mode, Full Strobe mode, Half Strobe mode, or Mirror mode. In Double mode, you can choose from two newly developed modes; Focus mode 1 and Focus mode 2, which offer even greater precision with excellent visibility.

As a professional pedal tuner, the Korg Pitchblack+ provides A and B input jacks to which you can connect two different guitars or basses, and individually specify a separate calibration, tuning mode, flat tuning, and display mode for each input. If only a single instrument is connected, you can specify two different tuning settings and switch between them by pressing the Input Select foot switch. This feature supports situations such as when you're playing more than one guitar/bass in a live situation, or for sophisticated musical needs such as using different tunings with a single guitar for multiple songs. The sound is muted when tuning is active, and when the pedal tuner is off, the True Bypass feature ensures that the input signal from your instrument is not coloured in any way whatsoever. With functionality such as this, the tuner can provide high-precision tuning capability while being integrated into your guitar or bass pedalboard and amp setup.

The Pitchblack+ works great with your current pedalboard system. It provides a DC out jack that can supply power to other effect pedals when the optional AC adaptor is used. By connecting the included DC cable, you can supply up to 200 mA of power to multiple effect pedals that require a 9v supply, simplifying the power connections in your effect board.
