iRCT is
Reyburn CyberTuner on your iPhone, iPod or iPad!

iRCT is computer software that transforms an Apple iOS hand-held computer into the most advanced visual piano tuning device available.

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

• Reyburn CyberTuner for iOS (iRCT) is the only piano visual tuning device to take full advantage of an iOS device. iRCT shares the same proven accuracy and most features with RCT running on older platforms.
• iRCT accommodates all experience levels, giving beginning tuners a very simple interface, but offers advanced tuners unlimited customizable stretch choices.
• New for iRCT! New Concert Tune mode combines the best of Fine Tune and Smart Tune but customized for 7 and 9 foot concert instruments.
• Faster and higher resolution spinner than has ever been possible with RCT before. We've taken full advantage of OpenGL and the Graphics Processing Units on iOS hardware.
• Pitch raising (and lowering) with iRCT is extraordinarily accurate and fast.
• The RCT "CyberCloud" automatically keeps iRCT calibrated to A440.0.
• iRCT creates super-accurate tunings from low bass to high treble because careful and accurate multi- partial samples are taken from five or six notes (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 and A6). All partials are automatically measured and recorded to a hundredth of a cent!
• iRCT 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! iRCT automatically senses and compensates for short scaling in spinets, small grands, etc.
• RCT tuning files can be imported from RCT Mac/Win or Pocket RCT via email or iTunes file share.

Pocket RCT has several primary software components; Chameleon , CyberEar , and Tuning Graph .

Chameleon

• Simple to use! Tap the Record button, and Chameleon indicates the note to play, then automatically measures and records.
• New "Smart Partials" feature 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 among other factors. User can turn off Smart Partials feature in the rare case where the user needs more control.
• It's easy to choose from ten stretch styles, from pure to very wide or RPT Exam style to emulate a PTG exam Master Tuning.
• Want even simpler? RCT can automatically choose optimal stretch and partials.
• Tap 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 & Tuning Graph

• Spinner rotates to indicate pitch deviation in cents or beats (you choose!), moves to left or right to intuitively show large pitch deviation, target blushing if within 0.3 cents or beats for super fine accuracy, adjustable sensitivity, change spinner colors, and more.
• Portrait or Landscape and auto rotation to any of the four positions fully supported.
• 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.
• Tune and Offset cents readings, piano and customer name, unlimited pitch settings, tuning partial and number displayed, accuracy, resolution and repeatability to 0.01 cents.
• Simple to reset pitch; current setting always displayed.
• CyberEar switches to full-screen mode with 88 note keyboard display.
• Tuning Graph shows cents and partials for all 88 notes The shape of this graph can indicate the quality of the samples and tuning.

Coming soon for iRCT: Pianalyzer

• Pianalyzer (PAZ) is a specialized spectrum analyzer designed specifically for pianos and other musical instruments.
• PAZ displays pitch in cents, inharmonicity, sustain time in seconds, and volume for partials 1 through 16.
• PAZ simultaneously displays bar graphs of current and previous partial volumes. Great for pre/post voicing comparisons.
• Customers instantly understand PAZ's colored bar graph. PAZ helps sell voicing jobs, action rebuilding, restringing, soundboard replacement, etc....

File sharing using iTunes

• iRCT imports and exports easily to any RCT version on any platform.
• Import/export feature uses the standard iTunes file sharing interface.

  Each iRCT copy is a single user license for one piano tuner to tune pianos at a time, although it may be installed on multiple iOS devices as a backup. iRCT connects periodically to the reyburn.com "CyberCloud" to confirm registration and A440 calibration.

  Q: Which should I choose, iPhone, iPod or iPad?
  

  A: If you're unsure, we recommend the latest iPod Touch. It has a low initial cost and no phone contract. If you later decide on an iPhone or iPad, your iPod is a great backup device! However, if you need a new smart phone, we can recommend the iPhone 4/4s or 5 as a great choice. iRCT is fully integrated into iOS. You can take a call while tuning with no problem.

  Q: How to I obtain support for iRCT?
  

  A: Although you may purchase an iRCT copy from Apple, support is provided by Reyburn Piano Service, Inc and associates, similar to previous RCT software. Support for iRCT is provided in English, Japanese, French, German, Norwegian by our network of RCT specialists. All iRCT support is provided by PTG-RPT qualified professional piano technicians who are also iRCT users. Link to the iRCT support page below.
