Pocket RCT is
Reyburn CyberTuner in your Pocket!

Pocket RCT is computer software that turns your PocketPC palm-sized computer into the most advanced and smallest visual piano tuning device available.

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

• Pocket RCT shares the same proven accuracy and virtually all the same features as RCT running on a laptop computer.*
• Pocket RCT accommodates all experience levels, giving beginning tuners a very simple interface, but offers 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 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!
• RCT creates aural-quality tunings because it directly matches sampled partials Ñ 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 a graph of cents and tuning partials for all 88 notes. See what you'll hear!
• Unlimited tuning storage! A Pocket PC with 32mb of ram can store over 50,000 piano tuning records. Save millions of tunings to a storage card or another computer.
• Send tunings to your friends over the Internet or exchange on disk.
• Pocket RCT tuning files are fully compatible with RCT/Macintosh and RCT/Windows.
• Analyze tone and scale design with Pianalyzer: pitch, inharmonicity, sustain, and volume for any note at partials 1 through 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-note Aural Temperament Sequences. Great for practicing aural tuning! (*v3.6)
• PTG-approved RPT Tuning Exam scoring included free. Practice for the RPT Tuning Exam by scoring yourself just like the real exam.

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

Chameleon

• Simple to use! Tap the Record button, and Chameleon indicates the note to play, then automatically measures and records.
• New v3.x "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.
• Popup menu lets you 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

• 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.
• 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.

Pianalyzer & Tuning Graph

• 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....

• Tuning Graph shows cents and partials for all 88 notes The shape of this graph can indicate the quality of the samples and tuning.

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 RCT's nine standard stretches and your customized "tweaks" in beats and cents.
• See inharmonicity in action! Sliders display beat speeds of several octave matchings, calculated from each piano's 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.
• Free upgrade to Pocket RCT v3.6 includes Custom EQ. See below.

Please note:
*Free upgrade to later Pocket RCT versions includes Aural Temperaments feature. Pocket RCT upgrades are free for one year from date of purchase and can be downloaded or ordered on a CD or SD/CF memory card. Pocket RCT software has a 30 day money back guarantee.
