gtuna is a chromatic guitar tuner for your Linux box using ncurses (it was born
|
|
|
|
|
as a guitar tuner, but it should be good as a tuner for any instrument connected
|
|
|
|
|
on your computer's mic).

Q: Where can I get it?
|
|
|
|
|
A: As usual, there are two ways. You can get the latest stable release from
|
|
|
|
|
http://0x00.ath.cx/prog/gtuna.tar.bz2 . Or (as I suggest) the up-to-date release
|
|
|
|
|
from GitHub: `git clone git://github.com/BlackLight/gTuna.git`

|
Q: How can I install it?
|
|
|
|
|
A:Just type `make` and press enter. Nothing more.
|
|
|
|
|
*N.B.* The requirement for getting gtuna working is having libfftw3-dev and
|
|
|
|
|
libncurses-dev installed on your machine.

|
Q: How does it work?
|
|
|
|
|
A: Just plug your instrument into the mic entrance of your computer, and pick a
|
|
|
|
|
string. In green you can see the recognized note, in branches () the computed
|
|
|
|
|
frequency of the sound, in square branches [] the minimum frequency for the
|
|
|
|
|
recognized note, the effective ideal frequency and the maximum frequency, and a
|
|
|
|
|
final string:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- means the computed frequency is very low for the computed note (so you need
|
|
|
|
|
to pull that string up)
|
|
|
|
|
- means the computed frequency is slightly low for the computed note
|
|
|
|
|
O means the computed frequency is ok for the computed note
|
|
|
|
|
+ means the computed frequency is slightly high for the computed note
|
|
|
|
|
++ means the computed frequency is very high for the computed note (so you need
|
|
|
|
|
to pull that string down)
