Reyburn CyberTuner for MacOS X and Windows

Reyburn CyberTuner is computer software that turns a laptop computer into the most advanced visual tuning device ever created for tuning pianos.

Why is Reyburn CyberTuner the visual tuning device preferred by so many professional piano tuners?

Reyburn CyberTuner (RCT) is the only piano visual tuning device to take full advantage of a computer's graphical monitor screen, fast processor speed, and large storage capacity.
New version 4.x has native Windows XP/Vista and MacOS X look and feel!
RCT accommodates all experience levels, letting beginning tuners "point-and-click" and offering advanced tuners unlimited customizable stretch choices.
Pitch raising (and lowering) with RCT is extraordinarily accurate and fast.
Because it's software, RCT can be easily revised, allowing constant innovation. The latest version can be downloaded from the Internet.
RCT creates super-accurate tunings from low bass to high treble because six notes are sampled (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 and A6) at as many as four partials three times each for a total of 63 sampled partials. All partials are automatically measured and recorded to a one-hundredth of a cent!
RCT creates aural-quality tunings because it directly matches sampled partials - exactly what aural tuners do every day.
Small (and all scale-challenged) pianos never sounded better! RCT automatically senses and compensates for short scaling in spinets, small grands, etc.
RCT displays editable spreadsheets and graphs of cents and tuning partials for all 88 notes. See what you'll hear!
Unlimited tuning storage! Save millions of tunings on your hard disk.
Send tunings to your friends over the Internet or exchange on disk.
RCT tuning files are fully compatible between RCT/Macintosh and RCT/Windows.
Analyze tone and scale design with Pianalyzer: pitch, inharmonicity, sustain, and volume for any note at partials 1~16.
Instantly convert to 57 built-in Historical Temperaments from Owen Jorgensen's book Tuning or create and save an unlimited number of your own User Temperaments.
Create, save, and recall twelve 25-noteAural Temperament Sequences. Great for practicing aural tuning!
PTG-approved RPT Tuning Exam scoring included free. Practice for the RPT Tuning Exam by scoring yourself just like the real exam.

Universal The latest RCT 4.x version runs on both MacOS X (PowerPC and Intel)...
Win Vista and Windows 2000, XP and Vista!

RCT has four primary software components; Chameleon 3 , CyberEar , Pianalyzer , and CustomEQ .

Chameleon 3

New Chameleon 3 is smart than ever! New integration with Custom EQ, Smart Partials and Automatic Gain Control produce a better tuning than any previous Chamleleon!
Simple to use! Click the Record button and Chameleon points to the note you play, then automatically measures and records.
New v4.x "Smart Partials" features chooses the right partial for every piano! "Smart Partials" automatically chooses the optimal partial for each piano based on octave type feathering, partial loudness, inharmonicity and piano size amoung other factors. User can turn off Smart Partials feature in the rare case where they need more control.
One mouse click chooses from ten stretch styles, from almost pure to very wide or RPT Exam style to emulate a PTG exam Master Tuning.
Want even simpler? Let RCT 's optional Easy Mode automatically choose the best stretch and partials.
Click the Calculate button, and Chameleon creates an 88-note tuning in less than a second by directly matching partials - just like aural tuners do every day!
Auto-compensates for spinets and other "scale-challenged" pianos.
RCT is the only tuning device which can automatically adjust the overall stretch of the tuning to be opitmal for each piano.

CyberEar

Spinner rotates to indicate pitch deviation in cents or beats (you choose!), moves to left or right to easily show large pitch deviation, target blushing if within 0.3 cents or beats for super fine accuracy, adjustable sensitivity, change spinner colors, and more.
Unsurpassed fast and accurate one-pass pitch raising because CyberEar automatically measures and offsets every note using optimized overpull percentages ranging from 4% to 38%.
Automatic hands-free both-ways chromatic note switching. Works on all partials, even up to partial 16 in bass.
88-note graphic keyboard, simultaneous Tune and Offset cents readings, piano and customer name, unlimited pitch settings, tuning partial and number always displayed, accuracy, resolution and repeatability to 0.01 cents.
Simple to reset pitch; current setting always displayed.

Pianalyzer

Pianalyzer (PAZ) is a specialized mini-spectrum analyzer designed specifically for pianos and other instruments.
PAZ displays pitch in cents, inharmonicity, sustain time in seconds, and volume for partials 1~16.
PAZ simultaneously displays bar graphs of current and previous partial volumes. Great for pre/post voicing comparisons.
Print the PAZ window or save as a picture.
Use PAZ to measure a pianoÕs tonal changes over time.
Hard-to-tune bass unisons are usually caused by mismatched strings. Use PAZ to measure each string then find the partial(s) with differing pitches and inharmonicities.
Customers instantly understand PAZÕs colored bar graph.. PAZ helps sell voicing jobs, action rebuilding, restringing, soundboard replacement, etc. Print the PAZ screen of a customerÕs piano and include it with your estimate.

Custom Equalizer

Custom Equalizer (CEQ) lets you micro-adjust stretch of any A octave by as little as 0.02 bps.
Preview the sound of your tunings! CEQ creates graphs of many interval widths in beats and cents.
CEQ instantly creates a graph of the difference between one of RCTÕs nine standard stretches and your customized "tweaks" in beats and cents..
See inharmonicity in action! Slider tubes display beat speeds of several octave matchings, calculated from each pianoÕs unique inharmonicity and your customized stretch.
After creating a customized stretch tuning, name and save it as a User Setting, and later re-apply it to any other piano. Name and save up to 10 User Settings.
