Korg TM-40 Large Display Digital Tuner and Metronome
pA great lesson and practice tool, the Korg TM-40 offers both tuner and metronome functions that can be used simultaneously or independently. A large LCD-type needle delivers both the accuracy of an LCD and excellent visibility of a needle indicator. The metronome tuner also has LED indicators that show pitch deviation or blink to indicate the tempo./ptable width="300px" cellspacing="10" align="right"trtddiv align="center"img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/musical_instruments/detail-page/korg-tm40-schematic-sm.jpg" border=0 align=top width=450 height=294brbrsmallibSee larger image./b/i/small/td/tr/tablepWith a detection range of C1 (32.70 Hz) - C8 (4186.01 Hz), the TM-40 provides quick and accurate coverage of a wide spectrum of notes and pitches for wind, string, keyboard and most other instruments. Even low-pitched instruments with complex overtone structures are detected. A built-in high-sensitivity microphone allows acoustic instruments such as a guitar or ukulele to be tuned easily and accurately, and the separately available CM-100L contact microphone can be used to send the vibrations directly to the metronome tuner for even greater precision./ppIn addition to its visual tuning guidefunctionality, you can use the TM-40's built-in speaker to produce a tuning reference pitch (Sound Out)--convenient for tuning by ear and useful for ear training. The TM-40's Calibration setting is adjustable in a range of 410~480 Hz to accommodate a variety of tuning standards. The calibration can be adjusted in 1 Hz steps, letting you accurately tune to any song or key. Memory backup is also provided so that the Calibration and Sound Out settings are remembered even when the power is turned off./ppThe metronome function of the TM-40 features a Beat Mode, which lets you choose a preset tempo and time signature, while Tap mode lets you specify your own tempo. And with a large integrated speaker, the TM-40 produces a clear and distinct metronome sound. The TM-40 also includes 13 rhythm variations for practicing a wide range of styles./ppThe metronome section of this portable metronome offers convenient functions for practicing a variety of music--covering 0-7 beats per measure as well as doublets, triplets, triplets with center beats omitted, quadruplets, and quadruplets with center beats omitted. Since the volume is adjustable, the TM-40 can meet the needs of any situation from private practice in a small room to sessions in a large studio./ppbWhat's in the Box/bbr / Korg TM-40 digital tuner/metronome, 2 AAA batteries, user manual/pstrongSpecifications/strongbr /table width="900" cellpadding=10trtd valign=top width=400h3Tuner Specifications/h3ulliScale: 12 note equal temperament/liliDetection Range*: C1 (32.70Hz) - C8 (4186.01Hz) for a sine wave/liliReference Tone: C4 (261.63Hz) - C5 (523.25Hz) One octave or A Bb/liliTuning Modes: Meter mode (AUTO), Sound Out mode (MANUAL)/liliCalibration Range: A4 = 410Hz - 480Hz/liliDetection Accuracy: Better than ±1 cent/liliSound Accuracy: Better than ±1 cent/li/ulh3Standard Specifications/h3ulliConnectors: Input jack (1/4-inch mono), Phone jack (1/8-inch mini)/liliSpeaker: Dynamic speaker/liliPower Supply: 2 x AAA batteries (3V)/liliDimensions: 4.45 x 3.03 x 0.71 inches (WxDxH)/liliWeight: 3.84 ounces (including batteries)/li/ul/tdtd valign=topstrongMetronome Specifications/strongbr /ulliTempo Range: 40 - 208 beats per minute (bpm)/liliTempo Setting: Full Step, Pendulum Step/liliTime Signatures: 0 - 7 beats, duplets, triplets, triplets without center beat, quadruplets, quadruplets without center beats/liliTempo Accuracy: ±0.3%/liliModes: Beat mode, Tap mode/li/ulh3Battery Life/h3ulliTuner: Approximately 70 hours (A4 continuous input, when using zinc-carbon batteries)/liliMetronome: approximately 50 hours (tempo 120, four beats, maximum volume, when using zinc-carbon batteries)/li/ul/td/tr/td/tr/tablep* Even if the pitch is within the range of detection, the TM-40 may be unable to detect the pitch if the sound contains numerous overtones (such as the low and high notes on an acoustic piano) or if the instrument has a rapid decay./p

great tuner and metronome combined! (2010-07-20) : 4/5
The korg-tm40 is a great metronome/tuner combined in one. It's pretty loud and very easy to use. I was also really happy that it has a tap in, which is always useful. The only downside is that the metronome speed settings can only be set for every four clicks, so you can't set it for speeds between the set ones. However, the tap-in will allow you to get the more specific speeds.
good product (2010-07-19) : 5/5
So far I do not have any problem with this product. It is working very well.
Good for the money (2010-06-27) : 5/5
This little box is great for metronome use. It is loud and the screen is easy to see. The tuner function can be a little disconcerting sometimes. It seems to work ok but the display might fluctuate from G to C when tuning to G on a Bass guitar. I used it to set my intonation on a new Bass and it was well worth the price I paid. I would buy another one if I lost this one.
KORG TM 40 (2010-06-21) : 4/5
A hell of a tuner, very accurate. Only have a small problem tuning the first string, the tuner seems to be confused about E and A notes on the first string, but this is easy to overcome. The other thing is, that the buttons are a bit small... Over all, it's a very good deal for the price and I'm happy with it. I shipped it to APO address here in Iraq and got it in a matter of a week.
Nice (2010-06-15) : 3/5
People have mentioned before about this product being great for strings, I play the clarinet and is finicky about tuning, so its very nice for me, for an alright price :D
