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

After the last update, this app has been stuttering and does not have a smooth display anymore. This makes it very difficult to tune as it slowly tries to figure out what you are playing. I have tried force stopping the app and reinstalling it but that does not seem to work. I am on a Google Pixel 4 XL. As I wrote this message I saw a update available and has fixed this problem. Thank you!

After trying so many free tuners and having poor luck with them, I was reluctant to pay for Tunable, but the recommendation came from a trustworthy source, so I took a leap of faith and haven't regretted it. Tunable is an excellent tuner app. My one complaint is the same one I've had with every tuner app I've tried, and that is that I can't tune AND record my rehearsals/ practice sessions at the same time. I'm not sure if that's something they can fix with time or not...

Sadly this app has become completely unusable for me. The metronome "crackles" the entire time, and I've tried a bunch of different sounds/settings to see if some do or don't, but no matter what settings I've tried, it's not doing the job I PAID for it to do. Samsung Galaxy S8. -- The other issue I have with it is that it appears designed for tablets, and I use on my phone. The controls for changing the tempo for the metronome are very hard to use. The "slider" doesn't stay in one place so it's hard to get the exact tempo, and the +/- buttons are so tiny it's more likely I'll pull down the notification bar instead of changing the tempo.

What's new

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