RTTA iPhone app

[paddler]

The app is running in full screen mode on my iPad. It is not at all obvious that this is an iPhone only app. It seems to run flawlessly, in full screen mode on my iPad Air. To get it I simply followed the link posted here, downloaded it and ran it. [Edit: I'm running iOS version 7.0.6].

Mine runs full screen on the iPad, too... Seems like you don't really need to release an iPad version after all - just make sure that iPad users know how to retrieve it.

On another "note"... I have noticed that the app seems to pick up notes that I haven't played, like B-flat on my D flute. It it, perhaps, catching the transitions during rolls, etc, and thinking they're regular notes? Not a big deal, but it kinda messes up the "picture".

Hi Pat,

You're probably right, it's most likely catching stuff between and at the edges of notes, especially if you're playing a lot of ornamentation and quick notes. It should help to increase the "min readings" setting. This will suppress the display of any notes that haven't registered more than a minimum number of 'readings'.

It occurs that I should also have a "min % of readings". I recall that Scott had this in Flutini and Graeme in Polygraph. Another minor change for the next release...

Thanks everyone for the feedback - it's really helpful.

Cheers, Dan

Speaking as a maker, this thing is an awesome tool at ten times the price. Just started messing with it and I can already see that I'm going to be using this a lot.

Oh, jeez. Don't tell him that until we've all bought one...

Best wishes.

Well, to be fair I'm more likely to cough up substantial money for a tuning app than the average player might I spent something like $280 on a tuner at one point, and while it has a massive quantity of features, RTTA isn't one of them. Plus my shop is not clean enough that I'd ever bring a laptop in there...

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that an update to RTTATuner is now available on the app store. The most significant changes are an export function (I had a lot of comments saying that would be nice), and prevention of sleep mode during recording.

While I'm at it, I should also say something about appropriate settings for the flute:

Temperament: for Irish music, equal temperament is probably the easiest. Just don't be too concerned if the F# is 10 cents flat or so - this is not a bad thing, as it brings the major third from D more in tune. Ditto for a slightly sharp C natural and slightly flat C#. 1/4 comma meantone might also be worth looking at, for example, it takes into account the modifications mentioned above. For baroque flute, I like 1/6 comma meantone, but you need to use the flats version when playing in flat keys and sharps when playing in sharp keys.

Octs/Screen: unless you play a lot in the third octave, set this to 2, otherwise 3.
Min Octave: 4 (low octave on the flute)
Max Octave: 6 (third octave)

Min Readings:
I'd set this to at least 5 or 10 - 5 is the default. For lower values, the slightest "blip", e.g. in an ornament, will register as a note - one that might not be very in tune!

Min Clarity:
If you set this too low, then background hums and noises will start to register as notes. Set it to 0.95, or 0.9 if it seems to be missing some notes.

Cheers, Dan

Hi,
may I ask where I can find RTTAtuner for iOS now? I cannot find it in the App Store .

[Gromit]

Same here message - "not available" at UK or USA iTunes store

[plunk111]

Just heard back from Dan Gordon (the developer)... He says it should be back up it a week or so - he forgot to renew his developer license and is currently in process of doing so.

[ChrisCracknell]

Someone please do an android version soon

[Dan Gordon]

Hello everyone, it takes a while, but RTTATuner is back on the app store. I won't make the mistake of letting my apple developer membership lapse again! Thanks to Pat Plunkett for getting in touch with me to point this out. It's also nice to know that there are interested folks out there.

Cheers, Dan
