Tune Your Guitar With Agile Partners Guitar Toolkit

A tuned instrument is vital to a musician. Wherever you play, if your instrument is out of tune then it is no fun for your listeners. Most musicians also have a voice device with them that they can do this quickly and easily.

But what if you leave this at home? Or what if you lose the device just before a show? Now you can just grab your iPhone! Agile Partners for Apple’s smartphone is the perfect companion for adjusting your guitar along with the Guitar Toolkit.

Guitar Toolkit is not the only voice application in the App Store, but one of the most advanced. The application uses the built-in microphone of the iPhone (or a headset with microphone if you use an iPod touch) to tune your guitar perfectly in line with the chromatic tuner. Guitar Toolkit contains much more useful extras, including a metronome for drummers.

The chromatic tuner can be used for a wide range of stringed instruments. There is a large list of predefined instruments available (guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin) but thanks to an all-mode, you can tune exotic instruments too.

The standard pitch (440.0 Hz) can be adjusted, especially with orchestras, and is something that will come in handy. If you want to use the chromatic tuner in low light conditions (eg in the concert hall) then that’s no problem: Agile Partners has a special high contrast mode built. You need not worry that your iPhone goes to sleep while tuning, because the auto-lock feature is turned off while you use the application.
