Analogue synthesizers can be tricky to tune! Not only can their pitch often fluctuate as the circuit adjusts to temperature changes, but you may also want to micro-tune different oscillators within the one synth.
This makes reliable tuning essential, whether you're recording in the studio or performing live. The ST1K delivers this with its capability for ultra-precise tuning to ±0.1 cents. It features a large CMD LCD display that gives a clear, visually appealing readout of your tuning status, aligning with the aesthetics of modular and analogue synths. It also includes a built-in high-sensitivity microphone, expanding its use to a broader range of instruments!
At only 83 grams, this incredibly compact and light tuner is perfect for musicians and performers on the move.
Optimized circuitry for stable tuning of analogue synths
The ST1K's input circuit has been finely tuned to provide stable tuning for modular synths, accommodating high voltage levels without interference from LED noise, and with a clear focus on maintaining sound quality.
3D visual meter with large-screen visibility
The large, easy-to-read note name display and glowing LEDs allow the user to clearly perceive pitch deviations and changes at a glance. The 3D visual meter makes it possible to tune to within ±0.1 cents, which is difficult with needle meters.
Ultra-precise tuning down to ±0.1 cents
Professional recording and stage performances always require perfect tuning. The ST1K is capable of ultra-high-precision tuning down to ±0.1 cents in strobe mode. With the high measurement accuracy of the flagship model, this compact device is a truly professional tuner that allows you to track down even the smallest errors in pitch.
Three meter display modes in addition to note name display
Three types of meter display mode can be selected to suit the player's style. In addition to the standard "Regular Mode", the "Strobe Mode" and "Half Strobe Mode" indicate pitch changes by the direction and speed of meter flow, making it easy to see even the smallest errors.
Compact, flat design allows you to carry a large screen with you
The meter display is large and easy to read, yet the body is smaller and more compact. The flat design provides excellent visibility and portability.
