What Intunator is
Intunator is an Android and iOS app for practicing intonation by ear. It recognizes a played note and plays back a corrected version for musicians to match. The maker describes it for wind, string, and plucked-instrument players, as well as vocalists. Detection covers nearly seven octaves, and turning off the control tone allows tuner use. Settings include 56 instrument choices, transposition, concert pitch, background noise, note spelling, and pitch-detection options. Drone Mode sustains a chosen note for practice in equal or just temperament. Corrected audio can play through headphones or speakers, with fifth or octave offsets and three sounds; the display can show note names or solfege and graph pitch deviation. iOS offers a four-week free INTUNATOR STARTUP test and a two-week TUNER PRO test. Android free testing and rental are still planned.
