IT'S BACK TO $4.95 SUSPECT IT WAS A DEAL DURING NAMM

This new tuner is supposed to be released in February for $4.95 - BUT - I just checked the iTunes Store and right now it is not only there BUT it's also FREE! That's right...FREE! For iPhone and iPad!

A mistake? Who knows? But, act on this right now.

HARMAN’s HardWire today announced the introduction of its HT6 FastTuneTuner app for iPod, iPhone and iPad. The HT6 FastTune app enables those devices to function as a polyphonic tuner, letting guitar and bass players tune all their strings at once.

The HT6 FastTuneTuner app is based on the popular HardWire HT-6 Polyphonic Tuner floor pedal, which makes tuning instruments faster and easier by allowing the musician to simply strum all the strings at once, and view the display to see which strings are in or out of tune. The app works using the iPod, iPhone or iPad mic input, and it can also operate by plugging an instrument into the device’s headphone input or 30-pin connection. The FastTune app can be used with a guitar or four, five or six string bass.

The HT6 FastTuneTuner app provides an immediate visual indication of which strings are in tune, sharp or flat, and its display can be set to either polyphonic mode, or chromatic tuning mode if desired. The app offers automatic capo detection – it senses if a guitarist has a capo on the neck and adjusts the display to tune to the correct chord. Adding to its appeal, the app offers a Drop-D tuning mode for users of this popular alternate setting.

The HardWire HT6 FastTune app for iOS will be available in February 2012 from the iTunes Store for $4.99.

I'm sure you iPhone guys like it, but a lot of us have Droids. Too bad they think everyone likes/owns an iPhone.

Thanks, shame I already spent a whopping 99cents on the Polytune, but downloading it anyway

Thanks for the heads up!

Made with slave labor and love. See that piece about how the Chinese factory workers are forced to live in dormitories that have nets outside of them since so many commit suicide? Of course the Droid manufacture might be the same.

Definitely worth the 99c, if it's still that, for Polytune since it works much better with an amplified bass through a phone mic than FastTune...but you can't beat free

Downloading it now. Still free. Will check it out.

Thanks! DL'ed, still free. Takes the sting out of missing out on the free Polytune app.

Shows for $4.99 this morning on the Canadian app store. I snooze, I lose, I guess.

Still prefer the enhanced accuracy of the Peterson app, though. At 30x the accuracy of a typical Boss or Korg tuner, it's even better than my Turbo Tuner.

I find the extra accuracy matters when playing live. With a normal tuner, the display will indicate that you're perfectly in tune when you're already close to a half-cent sharp or flat. As soon as your tuning drifts another fraction of a cent, it starts to sound noticeably off. My Planet Waves pedal was the worst for this. It would show tuner lock, when I could still hear that it was out.

Thanks to the enhanced accuracy of the Peterson and Turbo tuners, you start out closer to the exact pitch. This means that your tuning can drift quite a bit more before it's audibly out of tune, and makes it seem like your tunings are lasting longer.

It's back to $4.95........
