PianoMeter Tutorial

This video explains some of the basic functions of the PianoMeter piano tuning app, including: pitch measurement with the dial and strobe display, automatic and manual note switching, inharmonicity measurement, and tuning curve management.

This is the simplest and most effective tuner after many tuner apps.

I just got this app you have help me so much thank you!

[Forealness]

You are a great teacher can we have a few more videos?

I use the SAT because you can completely stop the lights and I really like that. Have you thought about using a colored light in the circle displaying the notes? I would like your program better if you had a light that got brighter when the note got closer to being in tune.

I downloaded PianoMeter a month ago. Excellent and easy to use even for a tuning beginner like me! And I have 2 questions on this app.
Q1:What the triangles next to the black circle work for?
Q2:What do the moving dots incide the big circle and outside the small black circle function?
From Japan with a lot of respect and appreciation.

Love the app, please make a video for FINE tuning please, tips and tricks. I am struggling with the app to get the fine-tuning which is so critical and why I purchased the app.

In the support manual on your website, it shows when a note is in tune, and the strobes of each partial are all not moving. When I tune a note, I don't think that ever happens.
In the part of the manual that talks about weight factor, it says "If you just want a “safe” smooth tuning for the piano that minimizes the effects of jumps in inharmonicity, you can lower the weight factor; however this can sometimes cause a problem where all the strobe wheels won’t completely stop when a note is in tune (some turn right slowly and some turn left slowly). The majority of users will probably be served best by leaving the weight factor at its default value of 0.75."
I haven't changed that, yet I have that very problem where the wheels don't stop, or maybe one sort of stops, but the others don't, and some turn right, and some turn left. Thanks for any help.

When I open a new tuning file, should I just sample every note on the piano to start? And thanks for the only video in the world to explain anything about this app.

6:08 What happened to the other videos you promised?

[garychique]

Can you do a video one for each feature?

[MixedMuscleArts]

Is it normal for my piano's tuning curve (spinet) to drop and rise out of view on each extreme ? Drops below at around D#1, and above at around G#8.

Finally, I've made my PianoMeter Plus version purchase! I would have really enjoyed the save/load tuning files capability in the Pro version, but the price jump seem substantial just for this one feature. I feel the Plus price is just fine - great work. I really appreciate that the app is up-to-date and managed by someone who seems to really have their heart into it.

I did have one question... during the sampling, no mute is used? Are we allowing all strings from each note to be played during sampling. Thanks! :)

It is almost impossible to get it perfectly in tune on most notes.

[manishbaj]

We are supposed to hear the higher notes flatter than they actually are, aren't we? Can we tune all keys including the higher notes with the help of Piano Meter?

[steve]

I'm also wondering what, if anything, does the app sample in the trial evaluation version.?

[northspack]

So if I place it on step I can tune each too zero on the meter and it's good to play

[eberhardspianochannel]

is it possible to turn of these black quadrats which are popping off when measuring the tones so only the needle is visible?

On my iPhone, the tuning only seems to be available for the middle two octaves and the rest of the A notes. How can I get the meter to move for the all of the notes? Thanks.
