Accurate tuning display for every note
Verituner has a fine tuning function that gives you a super accurate tuning display for every note. You can see the pitch deviations by the direction of a needle and the spinning blades. The goal is to adjust the string to slow the blades as much as possible. The display is fast and responsive, moving with you for instant feedback. You can also see all the partials of each note in a combined spinner that shows your cents offset from the target pitch.
Quick and accurate pitch raises
When a pitch raise or lowering is necessary, Verituner has a coarse tuning function that gets the job done quickly. Verituner automatically calculates an individual overpull for each note to compensate for the effects of changing the overall tension of the piano. You can see a cents gauge that shows you a wide range of pitch surrounding the target note. You just need to tune the string until the two arrows line up. You can adjust the zoom level of the gauge to accommodate small or large adjustments. If time is short, you can perform a one-pass pitch raise with fine tuning.
Aural quality tunings
Verituner is designed to produce tunings that sound natural and pleasing to the ear. That's because Verituner listens to all the partials on all the notes, just like traditional aural tuning. Verituner measures the inharmonicity of every note while you are tuning, accumulating a detailed picture of the entire scaling of the piano. Then it calculates tuning targets for all the partials of each note to produce a well balanced tuning custom fit to the piano. Verituner can also compensate for scaling inconsistencies, especially in smaller pianos.
Historical temperaments
Verituner's default temperament is equal. You can also tune with more than 90 unequal temperaments that are stored in its temperament directory. You can select an unequal temperament and it will be saved in the current tuning file. You can also design, store, and tune with your own unequal temperaments or other historical temperaments you add to the directory. You just need to enter the offsets for the twelve notes of the scale.
Adjustable stretch
Verituner allows you to set your own preferences for the amount of octave stretch in your tuning through its style option. Each style sets the widths for various octave types and where they are to be used. There are three built-in styles: average, moderate stretch, and wide stretch. For advanced users who want to go beyond the built-in styles, Verituner has a style designer that lets you create custom styles with your own parameters.
