KorgTM-70T Tuner and Metronome w/ Sound Out Mode, Transpose Mode, and Chromatic Mode - White

Purchased to use with my violin. Accurate and not highly sensitive to note sounds or vocal sounds. I’m very satisfied.

The Korg Tuner (TM70TWH) is great. I just wish the device was louder.

I wish I could give this a 4.5 out of 5, but here are my thoughts. I have played French Horn for almost 20 years which is an F instrument (yes, if you play a double horn you will have an F side and a B flat side, but the instrument is an F instrument; the B Flat side is 2 feet shorter in length to help with high notes and really low notes if you're an American player; if you're a German player, they play opposite where they use the B Flat side for mid range, then the F side for High and really low notes or at their own personal discretion; but that's a long dissertation that does not belong in this review). That was why I got this tuner/metronome was to test out how I like tuning my French Horn to Horn pitch and not Concert Pitch or C; although if you are a semi professional player, you are told in Conservatory or Music College to be able to mentally know what your note is in F when a conductor says "Play a Concert A" to an orchestra. For those Horn players out there, a Concert A is pitched as E for Horn Players which is an interval of a Perfect 4th below concert pitch; the worst mental transposition possible out of all the orchestra instruments. So this metronome will help with individual tuning in F, and if I want, I can opt to tune to Concert Pitch and practice checking my mental transposition, which is nice; what I don't like about this feature though, is you have to push the transpose button on this metronome/tuner once to get to F, then 3 times to get to C, and then 1 again back to F; there's no fast option to just go back and forth between C and F or C and B Flat or C and E flat, which might have been a better design idea.I've used Korg's in the past and typically they sit on my stand, which is what these metronome/tuner's are really for; I have sat next to other semi professionals who somehow manage to play in tune and time while watching their metronome in rehearsals on their stand (of course the metronome is silent during rehearsal otherwise it would cause a distraction) instead of using their ears (like you are supposed to in an orchestra) to stay in time and tune with the orchestra while the conductor conducts.The metronome part works more than fine for individual practice at home; again these are designed to sit on a sturdy stand as you play. The one other thing I wish was a few more sub division options for practicing with accuracy such as a dotted eighth sixteenth note, sixteenth note with dotted eighth note, then a particular triplet sub division such as quarter note followed by eighth note with the "3" marking above it noting that it's a triplet rhythm, and then the reverse of that rhythm. One thing I've noticed that is never on the sub division for metronomes is playing a quarter note triplet over two beats; that would be very useful as playing a quarter note triplet over two beats is hard to do for piano players, but would also help other instrumentalists who encounter that rhythm. This quarter note triplet can be practiced without a subdivision or there are other ways to use the existing sub division on metronome's to practice this, but sometimes to actually hear it and play along with it would be very helpful.The one other downside is this metronome cannot be used very well to tune an electric guitar, which is my second instrument. I've been using the Korg TM-60 as it has the cable input to tune directly to my guitar. There may be guitar nerd's out there who prefer to use a pedal tuner with their pedal board, but I'm not at that level with my guitar to add any additional sounds other than the distortion that comes out my amp. Not a deal breaker, as having this will help with my brass playing and then the TM-60 I use for guitar.I did purchase the Korg KDM-3, which is strictly a metronome; a very loud metronome according to other users, which may prove more useful for me as it looks much sturdier and will sit on a flat surface. I'll test that out when it arrives and see what my thoughts are.Otherwise the Korg TM-70 works just as well as the Korg TM-60; although the backlight on the TM-70 is not as bright as the TM-60...not sure what happened there.

This thing is really good. Very cool you can do the metronome and tuner at the same time for intonation. The only thing that would be cool is a magnet on back to stick to a music stand.

Great tuner-metronome to keep in an instrument case! The back-light makes it so much easier to use than the earlier Korg item that it is replacing. Very compact, accurate, and easy to read.

Muy útil y sencillo de utilizar...la verdad como opción de metrónomo y generador de tonos es lo mejor del mercado. La pantalla es clarísima y el audio es perfecto incluso cuando hay ruido de fondo...además tiene el tamaño perfecto para llevarlo en el bolsillo...la verdad solo veo cosas buenas por decir.La compra como siempre sencilla y lo recibí incluso antes de lo esperado. En conclusión, uno de los mejores accesorios para músicos de todos los niveles.

Good product no more words are needed

For me, the KORG TM-70T is a disappointing downgrade from my old KORG TMR-50. I use the tuner's built-in mic to tune my acoustic guitars. The TM-70T seems to be tone-deaf to certain notes unless I hit the string really HARD and LOUD. In any case, the TM-70T meter's needle doesn't follow me as I fine-tune the note. And, the display on the TM-70T (refer to the attached photo) is not viewable from the particular angle that I prefer. As is, this product is unusable for my needs and wants. So my old KORG TMR-50 gets another lease on life.
