Anyway, in sweetened tunings, music will sound purer in some keys and less pure in others when compared to equal temperament. In well temperament, for example, there are almost no beats playing in C, but there are more pronounced beats in other keys (an effect that can be exploited in composing, as Bach did in The Well Tempered Clavier). In equal temperament, an instrument shows roughly equal signs of being out-of-tune - beats that suggest a lack of "purity" - in every key. (This could be used as the definition of equal temperament tuning.) But in well temperament, for example, the ratio varies by key. In equal temperament tuning, the frequency ratio for an interval is the same in all keys. The definitions of intervals depend on the tuning. ? The G string is tuned as the perfect 4th of the D string (5 semi-tones or major 4th interval) the B string is tuned to the 3rd of the G string (4 semi-tones or major third interval). Oh and one thing to note, if you DO have a Peterson, when you are setting intonation, set the tuner to equal temperament or it's not going to read the intonation properly. It does make a difference, I think I notice it the most when I'm using a capo. If you have a Peterson tuner and set it on Equal Temperament, then it's just a standard tuner, once it's set to the Guitar Temperament, the compensated tuning is now in effect. It sounds a little more in tune to the ears than if it was just tuned to standard pitch. It compensates a few cents for the B string to make up for the natural imperfection that normally occurs between the G (which is tuned to a fifth with all the other strings) and the B which is tuned to a 4th, then we go back the E which is again is a fifth in relation to the B. I sold my steel last summer to fund my first J45 purchase but I still use the Strobo Flip on my bench and a clipper-onner everywhere else I go. I've played steel off and on for over 30 years and that was unheard of until the Peterson thing, though some of the major steel guys had formulas all worked out with their tuners to temper tune. I ran the guitar through the E9 sweetened tuner setting and could tune completely with the tuner.No more trying to tune 10 strings and tune-able pedals and knee levers on a noisy band stand. I bought a Strobo Flip back when I played pedal steel and it was a lifesaver onstage. I did the tuner test with those tuners and the Peterson clip on and I can say that the $10.00 I paid for each of the Snarks was a complete waste, they were nowhere near being in tune with the Peterson's standard setting. I bought 3 Snarks when MF had them for $10.00 a couple years ago and a Planet Waves a buddy gave me, they've all been uldn't use them, my guitars sounded out of tune. I've been around a couple of those guys in jams here around town and their guitars always sound out of tune. I know, I know.some will think it's baloney. The Peterson tuners solve that problem for me. Problem was that if I used a fixed tuner the guitar sounded out and it's tough to tune by ear in a noisy setting. Actually, I had a method to "temper tune" my guitars that worked fine. Others prefer the results of a strobe tuner.I'm buying what they're selling. Some people prefer the sound of the strings being tuned to the frequency of the overall waveform. Which measurement is correct? That's up to you decide. This is exacerbated by the pickups which pull on the strings and cause the overtones to be off (in extreme cases causing the dreaded "stratitis"). The resonances of the overtones aren't always perfect integer multiples of the fundamental. So it's like having two tuners, a traditional tuner and a strobe tuner running simultaneously and, just as with separate physical tuners, the results may not necessarily be the same.Ī guitar string is not perfect.
The frequency of the fundamental will not necessarily match that of the overall waveform. This effectively measures the fundamental ONLY. It "demodulates" the signal with a quadrature oscillator.
The strobe tuner works like, well, a strobe tuner. The bar tuner measures the average period of the waveform. The strobe tuner and bar tuner use different algorithms.
