Lines: 8 Hi !!! Most musicians take the tuning meter for granted. Would anyone know how some specific commercial tuners are implemented? Is the pitch derived from a count of maximum peaks, autocorrelation, extracted from an average spectrum using LPC algorithms, averaged using tunable band pass filters or processed by means of fiber bleaching (like the process used to make Wonder bread.) I would appreciate your advice. Thanks. Later.
