AutoStrobe 490ST - The 490 With Stretch Tuning
The
AutoStrobe 490-ST includes stretch tuning capabilities for enhanced tuning of
stringed or percussive instruments such as the piano, bass, guitar, marimba,
steel pan, and others. Only Peterson strobe tuners respond at the speed of light
to display relative tuning of any audio source to 0.1 of a cent (1/1000 of a
semitone) accuracy. With the new AutoStrobe models such as the 490-ST, students,
technicians, and musicians at all levels can utilize automatic (hands-free) note
selection for fast, accurate tuning of instruments. This feature also permits
real-time display of intonation to improve performance and listening skills
while playing.
Features of the AutoStrobe 490 ST:
- Wide selection of pre-programmed stretch files - tables with optimized tunings for all piano types and sizes takes the drudgery out of piano tuning. Up to 31 additional files may be programmed by the user.
- Automatic note selection
- Automatic image clarity and contrast control - internal compensation for optimal viewing over a wide range of source pitch and volume.
- Improved clarity for upper and lower registered notes - +2/-1 display feature shifts the strobe patterns into more visible middle ranges—bass note patterns can be displayed two octaves higher and treble note patterns can be displayed one octave lower in strobe display.
- Easy transposition - strobe patterns appear at the correct note for Bb, F, and Eb instruments.
- External input and through output with mute - for in-line, silent tuning during performances.
- Accessories - external mics, footswitches, and carry cases available.
