Input
The default input is the iPhone or iPad’s built in microphone. Music Wrench will automatically use an external microphone if available. For best results avoid background noise and people talking.
Tuning
In tuning mode, use the settings menu to select either equal temperament or perfect fifths. If fifths is selected, the A string will tune to 440 Hz and the other strings will tune to 3:2 frequency ratios.
Other modes can use equal, Pythagorean, or just intonation. Choose equal if you’re not sure what key signature you are in, since Pythagorean and just depend on the key.
For double stops, the “just interval” compares your interval to the closest just interval. Some intervals, such as thirds and sixths, have a significant difference between equal and just temperament.
Intonation
Intonation can be a matter a interpretation and taste. Advanced players should use Music Wrench as a reference point. Just as practicing with a metronome doesn’t mean you can’t slow down for dramatic effect, you are allowed to deviate in pitch. Hopefully this app will make those deviations from traditional tuning more conscious and less accidental.
