Tuning Drones

Web App

These drone pitches are designed to blend with your natural instrument's timbre. The 15 instrumental colors available are based on sampled recordings of some of the greatest musicians of our time. Drones can also be customized to play multiple intervals in both untempered and equal-tempered contexts over six octaves. The pitch definitions can be transposed for the convenience of musicians using transposing instruments, and the pitch level itself can be calibrated to a wide variety of definitions.

The software is free to use for up to ten days every month. Those who use it more are encouraged to subscribe.
