CyberTuner

CyberTuner will be a good partner on your work.

File system is antiquated, clumsy and time consuming. Takes too long to sample notes compared to other tuning apps. Automatic note switching is only for adjacent notes. Very overpriced app for older technology. Indicator blushing occurs over a wide range of pitch, not as precise as other apps. Have to clean up break by ear or use the time consuming AI mode which sometimes doesn’t always do a good job compared to other apps. If you don’t have strong aural tuning skills you’d be better suited with another app that doesn’t require as much clean up of the tuning. Pitch raising is only based on nearby sample notes. It doesn’t take in account what is coming after, only the notes that have come before. Very unreliable.

FINALLY--string section/break parameters are saved for each tuning record (right in the tuning file) and are recalled and entered automatically each time a tuning is selected in Smart Tune mode (and Pitch Raise also). Piano tuning is tedious enough ☺️ iRCT is a remarkable product in so many ways, and I sure don't miss the old Pocket PC/Pocket RCT, or Sanderson Accutuner, for that matter. But the CyberCare subscription for $80 every year may be debatable, especially given the $1,000 original purchase price and the limited number of updates and feature additions. Besides, just how many truly useful features can even be added to specialized software like this over time, or routine software maintenance, for that matter?

My only request is to make it easier to move around the tuning files, such as adopting the “Files” interface and making it possible to move them around that way, instead of emailing etc. I’m happy to pay the $80 per year to ensure that this app continues to exist and to get regular bug updates. Thank you!!!

This is *the* app for professional technicians. I had used it to do a pitch-raise of over 200 cents, and landed within 10 cents across the whole keyboard. The Smart Tune setting is well worth the pric3.

Courteous developers. Impeccable user design. Sturdy, reliable tool.

Excellent app for a professional piano technician. I especially like the library of historical temperaments for tuning harpsichords and clavichords.

I love my piano tech but I treat covid patients and he’s older so I don’t want him over. He’s tuned my Yamaha C6 for 15 years. The last few months I’ve been playing on the digital because the C6 Grand is out of tune. I found this, watched some videos in hammer and pin technique, and my first tuning with this program took 2 hours. It sounds wonderful, not like some amateur tunings on YouTube. I’m sure it won’t be as stable as long as my tech’s tunings, but I have my acoustic piano back and now will probably “touch it up” occasionally in between his tunings, assuming they can resume. Generally I just have him tune twice per year when the seasons change as we don’t always keep our temp the same. I had trouble getting it to sense the top couple notes but I never play those anyway and just did those by ear, which is basically a guess anyway up that high.

Really amazing software. Able to make my Tunings super stable!
