Hi Linda I know you're smart enough to pretty much have the basic idea figured out already. But for the sake of clarity : There are really only two options here once one first admits to having to take into account an instruments inharmonicity. Either one pre-samples and estimates the inharmonicity of the instrument... or one catches it on the fly like Verituner. Either way, the rest is simply imposing whatever tuning priorities you have chosen onto that inharmonicity. Since Bernard clearly takes into account individual instrument inharmonicity, and since he likewise clearly does not do this as RCT, Tunelab, and SAT does (ie pre-sampling) he's left with doing it on the fly. Just exactly WHAT he imposes on the instruments inharmonicity should be fairly clear to all, since the basic subject matter has been tossed around here and on pianotech for nearly 10 years now. The only thing really in doubt is what particular fudge factors he uses. As long as the software is glitch free... its no doubt a fine implementation and worth every penny if you like such tools. A couple years back he was offering some kind of aural license to tune P-12ths I'm sure you all remember..... That along with his published work on the matter and other material published both before, parallel and after should be enough for anyone to get the picture. Cheers RicB While you are posting here on this list Bernard, why don´t you give more information about your product and how it works. It would stop us from guessing. I am insterested in buying it just mainly because I have an iphone and it would be nice to have a tuning program on the device, but I need to know more about it. What does it do? Is it listening to multipartials like the Verituner or only one at a time like Tune-lab? To start with.. hälsningar, Linda Stråhle
