Description

TM-70T WH is a precision chromatic tuner combined with a metronome, with both functions available simultaneously. It has a wide frequency detection range (C1-C8) which makes it usable with almost all instruments, including transposing instruments (F - B♭ - E♭). Its pitch calibration is adjustable and it can be connected to the contact microphone CM-400 (optional) for greater tuning precision. The metronome section offers a tempo range of 30 to 252 BPM, with 3 tempo setting types and 15 rhythm variations. All operations are monitored by a high-visibility display. TM-70T WH is designed with low power consumption circuitry for extended operating autonomy.

The TM-70T WH Tuner Section

The TM-70T WH tuner section quickly and accurately detects the pitch of wind and string instruments. This is displayed via the Virtual Needle LCD Meter in a wide response range from C1 to C8. This detection range (C1=32.70Hz - C8 = 4186.01Hz) allows the use of the TM-70T WH with instruments that produce low frequencies, or that have many harmonics often difficult to detect, and acoustic instruments such as guitars and ukuleles. The CM-400 contact microphone (sold separately) can be used to transmit instrument vibrations directly to the tuner, for even more reliable tuning and, more importantly, independently of ambient noise interference. The Virtual Needle LCD Meter uses proprietary KORG technology to accurately and instantly detect every frequency, also allowing the performer to monitor the frequency fluctuation that tends to occur with long tones on wind instruments, thus helping to develop and improve sound production. The new transposition function facilitates the use of the TM-70T WH with transposing instruments in a band or orchestra, where the actual played note differs from the written note name on the score. Now, in addition to the usual C transposition, it is possible to switch to F, B♭, and E♭.

The Markers

In an ensemble such as a band or orchestra, harmonies of third intervals can be perceived as out of tune and can be corrected by the performer by adjusting the intonation to a pure major or minor third. The TM-70T has markers that indicate these pure major and minor thirds. Simply adjust the needle to coincide with these indicators*. This function is ideal not only for orchestral instruments, but also for a cappella vocal music. * When tuning a pure major or minor third, the specific note to be adjusted depends on the musical repertoire being performed

The Sound Out Mode

The Sound Out mode of the TM-70T WH allows you to tune by ear by listening to a reference signal from the internal speaker or from a connected pair of headphones. The reference tone can be selected within three octaves from C3 (130.81 Hz) to C6 (1046.50 Hz). Thanks to this range, it can be used with a wide variety of instruments.

The Sound Back Mode

The Sound Back mode generates the reference tone closest to the frequency being played, while simultaneously indicating the input intonation on the Meter. This mode allows for both visual and auditory pitch control, enabling more precise tuning, and is also an ideal ear training exercise. * This function is available when connected to the INPUT jack or headphone jack (or both)

The Metronome

The tempo speed can be set using three different methods: Pendulum Step allows you to increase or decrease the tempo speed like old pendulum metronomes. Full Step allows you to set the tempo in single-step increments within the 30-252 range, and Tap Tempo sets the speed by simply tapping in time on the dedicated TAP button. There are 15 different preset rhythms (*), including time signatures from 0 to 9, duplets, triplets, triplets with no middle beat, quadruplets, and quadruplets with no middle beats. The tempo speed can be freely adjusted within the range of 30-252 BPM. Sophisticated rhythms such as triplets or quadruplets without middle beats are used in a wide range of styles, from classical to rock and jazz. * When using the tuner and metronome simultaneously, triplets, triplets with no middle beat, quadruplets, or quadruplets with no middle beats cannot be selected.

Made in Japan Quality

The TM-70T WH is manufactured in Japan to ensure the highest possible quality control. In 1975, KORG introduced the needle meter concept that is still at the heart of modern tuners, and was one of the first companies to produce compact tuners. The TM-70T includes all of KORG's tuning technology, expertise, and decades of experience, and is a reliable and precise partner capable of supporting and enhancing your performance.
