If you want to remove the executable: delete it! * Difficulties with Windows Mobile Internet ExplorerĮarlier versions of IE will not render the SourceForge download pages correctly. You should aim to have the central rectangle "bracketed" by filled in arrows: this indicates that the note is at the correct pitch. If the filled in arrows appear on the left of the central bar (as in the example above), then the note is too flat (guitarists, tighten your strings!) if the arrows appear on the right, then the note is too sharp (slacken your guitar strings). The note-name you are playing is displayed on the right hand side of the main screen (D# in the example above). This needs to be at least into the green (as in the example above) for reliable results to be achieved (otherwise the tuner's indicator will tend to flicker around too much). The coloured bar on the far right of the pitch indicator (blue through green and into the yellow in the example above) is an indication of the volume of the note being played. Just download the executable onto your device * (Windows Mobile (PPC, PDA, PocketPC 2002, 2003, XDA, iPAQ, SmartPhone, etc.) users may want to download to desktop and then use ActiveSync) and double-click it to run.

Free piano tuner software how to#
There are various examples of how to configure the microphone as the recording device for Windows PCs floating around.Ī good rule of thumb is if you can't record your instrument using Sound Recorder (Start/Programs/Accessories/Entertainment), then the tuner will not be able to hear it either.

If you are not getting anything at all on the volume bar, you may need to adjust your audio properties: The tuner uses your PC's "Preferred Device" for sound recording. I discovered this by trying to tune my unamplified Hohner G3T headless electric guitar: it is do-able, but you need a microphone right under the strings! The volume bar (on the far right hand side of the main screen) needs to be into the green before the tuner will work reliably (otherwise the indicator arrows become rather flickery).
