The world's first wireless tuner.
Korg created the world's first hand-held tuner back in 1975. Since then, tuners have become a widely
used item among musicians. Korg has continued to lead the way, creating a succession of revolutionary tuners featuring new
technology and new ideas. Now, KORG announces the world's first wireless tuning system; the Wi-Tune.
Using Korg's Wireless
Tuning System, the Wi-Tune allows you to tune any instrument in any situation, unobtrusively, accurately, and easily. Their
Wi-Tune systems are ideal for instruments such as sax, clarinet, flute, horn, or tuba; instruments where using a traditional
tuner could be problematic. Wi-Tune eliminates these obstacles, allowing new avenues for practicing. Wi-Tune wireless tuning
is also discreet, and can be used in nearly any musical environment.
Cable-free wireless tuning systems, complete
with transmitter and tuner
Korg's Wi-Tune wireless tuning systems come as a set, consisting of a transmitter that attaches to your instrument, and a
main tuner unit that receives the wireless signal. This new concept allows a monumental degree of freedom, letting the musician
watch the tuning meter at a natural angle of sight. Conventional tuner setups (with a cable running from the tuner unit to
a contact mic fastened to the instrument) often led to the cable becoming entangled with the instrument or musician. Since
the new wireless Wi-Tune system has no cable, these situations are completely eliminated. The signal range extends to five
meters*, meaning that the tuner unit can be placed on a music stand or other convenient location, allowing the performer to
tune naturally without interfering with the performance. The wireless signal sent from the transmitter is coded to ID on the
tuner unit, ensuring that you can tune reliably without interference. The transmitter is designed to detect the vibration
of the instrument, so it can be attached not only to the body of the instrument, but even to a strap that will transmit these
vibrations.

Large, backlit LCD offers excellent visibility
Pitch variance and note name are shown in the large liquid crystal display for excellent visibility. Built-in backlighting
assures tuning with confidence, even on a dark stage – or at a distance. The wireless status and the remaining battery
amount are also clearly indicated by icons, providing this important information at a glance. Designed for eco-friendly long
battery life, this system is the perfect tuning assistant.
Internal mic and Sound Out mode
The main tuner body has a built-in mic, you can also tune without using the transmitter. The tuner also provides a Sound Out
mode that produces an audible reference tone from the internal speaker, which you can use when tune by ear, or for ear-training
practice.
Pure major third and minor third markings
Inaccuracies of the harmonies in a triad are particularly easy to notice when played by an ensemble such as a brass band or
orchestra. By slightly adjusting the pitch of a major or minor third relative to the equal-tempered interval, a beautiful-sounding
pure third can be obtained. The meter scale of the Wi-Tune includes markings to indicate pure major and minor thirds relative
to a specified pitch. Simply by tuning your instrument to these markings, you can perform beautiful, pure harmonies when playing
in an ensemble.
* The choice of note to adjust when tuning to a pure major or minor third will depend on the music you're performing.
The
