In my interview with Tomi Ahonen over the weekend (put it on this week’s reading list!) one of the things we talked about was the end of the mass market “killer app”. In other words, the future will still have its killer apps, but they will appeal to specific niches of users. One man’s killer app, is another man’s “so what?”
Well, this must be a killer app for all practicing musicians out there. MS Mobiles reports on a new application for Smartphones that “is an advanced guitar tuner that also works for violin, piano, and even vocal practice like barbershop quartet”.
It costs $18 to download and doesn’t appear to be one of those gimmicky “dog translator” type of things:
Based on the Mathematical Cochlea of Phonature theory, almost perfect pitch measurement over a 3 octave range can be clearly seen. Calibrated Sound Texture pattern in the middle reflects the timbre of sound and reveals fusing of multi-part voices.
Now all I need to do is go and learn the guitar.
