Tunable: Music Practice Tools

AffinityBlue

About this app

From the creators of NodeBeat comes Tunable, the most intuitive visual toolkit for musicians.

Tunable is a chromatic tuner, tone/chord generator, metronome, and recorder that helps you learn to play steadily, in tune, and on beat. Featuring a unique “tuning history” display for visualizing pitch over time, Tunable is the perfect toolkit for beginning to professional musicians.

★ Learn to play in tune with sustained pitch history ★
Visualize how steadily you play or sing. As notes are held out, a white line draws how steady the pitch is. The straighter the line, the more consistent the pitch.

★ Improve your ear with tone and chord generator ★
Need a reference tone or chord? Use the tone and chord generator to play and sustain chords with various tone options. Choose from different temperaments to hear how they compare.

★ Keep tempo with an accurate and simple metronome ★
See the pulse with a visual metronome. View subdivision and current beat, with a large display and visual flash.

★ Record and share ★
Record your practice and performances. Add reverb for a professional sound. Share recordings through e-mail, SoundCloud, Dropbox and more.

★ ★ ★ NOTE ★ ★ ★

The current version of Tunable for Android does NOT include practice stats (ie. practice score, note cents display, etc). The next version of Tunable for Android will take time to include these features.

★ ★ ★ PERMISSIONS ★ ★ ★

Tunable uses the Record Audio permission in order to listen and tune your instrument. Tunable also uses read and write access to your external storage in order to save and display recordings created within Tunable.

★ ★ ★ KNOWN ISSUES ★ ★ ★

On some devices, Google Assistant can interfere with the microphone. If the tuner does not appear to be working, try turning the "Ok Google" or "Google Assistant" settings "always-on" off to see if that solves the problem. This only applies to some devices and the device manufacturers are working on a solution.

Ratings and reviews

I just learned that there was a 2.0.0 update for iOS last October. I understand that utility apps usually don't require frequent updates, but the Android app has not seen an update in years. This is the only app on my phone that still has the legacy menu icon and the only app that uses Gingerbread-era sliders and buttons. The intonation meter still lags when hiding the tone generator, even with 216 flagship phone. It's a shame, too, since this is probably the best combined tuner/metronome available anywhere.

Edit: the new features are really good! The tuning history scrolling is such a perfect way to visualize pitch! Definitely Tunable has the best implementation of the idea. I still would love to have the option to have the metronome instead of the tone generator in the main screen. And an option for a logarithmic scale for the pitch, instead of linear (logarithmic seems to be the standard in every other tuner)

I have been using this app for years. By far my favorite tuner/music utility app. Worth every penny. For starters the tuner actually WORKS. I remember trying a bunch of tuner apps when I first found this one and so many of them just flat out didn't function. Today I just realized that you can play chords (I'm dense I guess, it just had never occurred to me).

What's new

This is a minor update while we work on the larger v3.0 update.

• Fixed some crash-related issues.
