For musicians from pros to beginners, whether you sing, play a brass, woodwind or stringed instrument or any type of guitar, this app provides a set of feature-rich practice tools that gives fun and rewarding feedback. It’s much more than just a tuner! So what makes the TonalEnergy the best selling music practice app? • It's an all-in-one app, with a state-of-the-art tuner, an advanced metronome, dedicated orchestral strings and guitar tuning page, a piano keyboard, sound analysis pages, and audio/visual recording capabilities. • It’s easy to use. Options like the Target Tuner or Pitch Tracker are on all the main pages. TonalEnergy helps users create rewarding and attainable goals during a rehearsal or when working alone. Colorful analysis data pages and audio/video recording features enhance the experience of practice. • The metronome is cutting edge. It offers unmatched flexibility in sound choices, tempo settings, meters, subdivision patterns and visual displays. Voice count-ins, the ability to create and edit preset groups and Ableton link for syncing multiple devices make this a superior tool for performers. • Ear training possibilities are endless. The high quality multi-sampled instrument sounds for symphonic instruments are unique among all other tuning applications. Listening skills can be developed through the use of the eight-octave keyboard, chromatic wheel and tone generator. There are no other sounds like these. • Learning is a social activity. Using features unique to the TonalEnergy Tuner, data can be collected, reviewed, edited and shared with others. Feedback is essential for growing and developing great performers. It’s all about connectivity. Chris Coletti, member of The Canadian Brass, sums up TonalEnergy by saying, “TonalEnergy is a must-have for any serious musician. It's a full suite of tools in one app; the tuner, tone generator, recorder, metronome and beautiful interface make it one of the best tools for musicians out there, period.” FEATURES • Recognizes a large pitch range, extending to lower registers than many competing tuners (C0 - C8) that is highly responsive to wind instruments, as well as acoustic and electric string instruments • Adjustable A=440 Hz reference • Automatic or manual transposing options • Instantly changes between equal, just and other custom temperaments, including user-defined ones • Auto or instant pitch reference note feature using the TonalEnergy sounds • Extensive tuning list for all orchestral string and fretted string instruments including many more features than most other string-only tuner apps • An expandable eight octave piano keyboard enhancing many of the key aspects of the tuner’s functions • Chromatic wheel tone generator, with optional auto-vibrato feature • Frequency and Harmonic energy overtone graphs, along with a multi-function waveform • Dedicated metronome page that matches or exceeds the features available on all other stand alone metronome apps • Notation options including standard English, Solfege, Northern European, and Indian variants • Bluetooth output/input support • Audio and Video recording capabilities including, editing, looping, timestretch that are all exportable via iTunes sharing, AirDrop, email, AudioCopy, SoundCloud, etc • Import music from iTunes Library or email attachments • Compatible with external microphones and clip-on vibration sensor devices • Supports external video output to an external display for use in rehearsal halls • External MIDI keyboard control support • Apple Watch app acts ONLY as a remote control for the phone app • Audiobus and inter-app audio support • VoiceOver support for the blind or visually impaired INSTRUMENT SOUNDS • Piccolo, Flute • Oboe, English Horn, Bassoon • Full Clarinet Family • Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Baritone Saxophone • Trumpet • French Horn • Tenor and Bass Trombone • Euphonium and Tuba • Square, sawtooth, and sine waveforms • Organ • Bowed and Plucked Strings

10/10 I love this app!!

TE tuner is a one stop shop for all practicing needs. It’s got a great and versatile metronome, with a wide selection of metronome sounds, and can provide drones for tuning in any number of timbres and even helps you tune in different temperaments and pitch standards. The tuner is very customizable. It allows you to select how picky the tuner’s range of what it accepts as “in tune” is. I can set it to ultra fine (which only allows one hundredth of a half step on either side of the note as wiggle room) for tuning my strings, then switch to just “fine” if I need to cut myself some slack while practicing scales and intervals. The tuner also has different modes for strings, winds and voice. I don’t know exactly how the modes differ on a technical level, but I’ve found them to work as intended. The user interface is elegantly designed and lays all of this app’s many features out in an intuitively navigable way. This app has become a really helpful resource in my daily practice, and I can’t recommend it enough to musicians at any level.

Good app but don’t like the sound choices

I have just started using this app and it seems to have the main functions I was looking to consolidate from multiple other apps I use - mainly a metronome and a piano keyboard to give me notes to work through vocal practices / figure out harmonies. Also was looking for an app to buy, rather than a free app, because the ads in the free apps get annoying (and seem to be getting worse, e.g. making you watch 5 seconds of a commercial before it allows you to close it). And this one has a tuner to boot. I do have 2 suggestions: 1) Call me crazy, but if I’m just giving myself a note to sing from, I’d love it if the piano keyboard display had the option to sound like a piano. You can make it sound like a whole bunch of different instruments, many with kind of cheesy tones, but piano is not one of them. 2) Would like a mute button on the metronome, such that when in the metronome page, you can see the box (or the screen) flashing the time but without the click. I can accomplish this by turning down the volume on the side of my phone, but it takes a lot of pushes to do that so it can’t be done quickly. Otherwise I do like this app.

It's OK, to me the tuner is not great

This app was highly recommended by a friend, he had used it in our vocal rehearsals to give us pitches and tempos. I bought it to try and consolidate all the functions I need in to one app. Initially I found the tuner very jumpy, and I don't like the smiley face with concentric half circles tuning model at all, so I wrote a pretty harsh review. The developer contacted me and pointed out the string tuning mode, which I initially couldn't find because it's not in the tuning section; it's under the sound tab. It makes it much easier to tune my guitar (and it has setting for many stringed instruments from viola to banjo) but if I try to sing long tones or play them on my trumpet, I'm back in the happy face tuner. In theory it should work but to me, the slightest pitch change in a long tone causes the rings to jump erratically. I think that the string mode rescued the app from deletion, and added one star to my rating, but I will still sing and play long tones into the free "pano tuner" rather than deal with the unhappy happy faces. Kudos to the developer for helping me find my way around the app. One more quick gripe, if I'm singing with the metronome playing, the app hears the click and reacts to it, so you essentially can't tune with the metronome on.

Developer Response
There is a string tuning mode that has a left/right bar style tuning model along with a string indicator for the tuning of your choice. Check it out by pressing the Sound tab button and selecting "String Tuning", then choose Guitar standard (for example) for the string tuning style. [EDIT] - If you are often tuning your voice, you'll want to adjust the mode/range setting and use Voice mode. Find that button on the Tuner page in the lower right with the blue/green text. The voice mode smooths out the response of the tuner and widens the "smile" range to be a better fit for voice use.

I use this app every day. I especially like the metronome features. I program in the meters and measures of my Brass Band music at tempo then I can play through each piece without stopping to check my tempo through the changes. The app allows you to put in rits. and every other variation of tempo needed in performance. I also use the drones for long tone practices. If during a rehearsal there is a questionable interval, I just write down what pitch the other guys got and when I get home I work with the tuner/drone just to make sure that my parts where it needs to be.I haven’t started to dive into the practice log yet. So except for the practice log I use every other feature that I know this app is capable of every day. I personally find it to be a very robust and flexible program. The updates are always current. I’ve never had any response problems with it. I couldn’t even imagine not having this app. As an older person it is a tool I really wish I could’ve had when I was starting out.
