The TM-60 features a larger display that can show the tuner and metronome simultaneously. The battery life has also been dramatically improved. With the TM-60 you ll be able to enjoy pitch training and rhythm training without having to switch functions or be concerned with battery life. The TM-60 is the tuner/metronome that s even more convenient and easier to use. Tuning and rhythm training are indispensable for brass band or orchestral practice. In addition to letting you use the tuner and metronome simultaneously the TM-60 features a display that s approximately 1.3 times larger than the previous model (the TM-50) allowing easy viewing even when the unit is placed on your music stand and also allowing the tuner to be viewed simultaneously. No longer will you have to switch between functions you ll be able to use practicing techniques that are idiomatic to orchestral instruments such as keeping a consistent pitch throughout a long note while varying the tone to add vibrato in time with the tempo or checking the pitch of chords while using the metronome. The enlarged display is backlit. You can adjust the brightness on two levels soft or auto ensuring stress-free tuning even when you re on a dimly lit stage or in an orchestra pit. There s no need to worry about the remaining battery life even during extended practices or performances. The tuner section quickly and accurately detects the pitch of wind and string instruments Needle-type meter with excellent response KORG s proprietary technology accurately detects the pitch without any time lag. The pitch drift that is prone to occur during long tones played on a wind instrument can be detected before it happens letting you train yourself to produce an unwavering tone with a stable pitch. A wide detection range of C1– C8 supports a variety of instruments. The TM-60 can detect note names and pitches for a variety of orchestral and other instruments. The range from C1 (32.70 Hz) to C8 (4186.01 Hz) can easily be detected. Even acoustic instruments that are difficult to detect because their sound contains a significant amount of low-frequency energy or a large number of partials such as guitar and ukulele can be tuned easily and accurately. Marks that indicate pure major and minor third intervals In an ensemble such as a brass band or orchestra harmonies of third intervals are easily perceived as out of tune and can be made to sound better by slightly adjusting the pitch to a pure major or minor third. And simply tuning so that the needle coincides with these marks allows you to play in beautiful harmony with an ensemble.
