Abstract:

This technical presentation details the functionality of a custom-built spectrographic tuner, a dual-purpose device designed for real-time spectrogram visualization and musical instrument tuning. The system supports two primary input modes: an integrated microphone and a line-in interface for external audio sources.

User interaction is facilitated through a rotary encoder and a 12-button chromatic keypad. The rotary encoder provides control over several parameters, including input mode, spectrogram draw speed, time scale, octave selection, center frequency (allowing for non-standard temperaments), and sensitivity. The tuning module utilizes visual indicators to display pitch accuracy in cents, with a color-coded confirmation for correct pitch. The spectrogram's sensitivity is managed by applying a multiplier to the magnitude values of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) bins, allowing for the visualization of low-magnitude signals. The device is intended to provide musicians with visual spectral feedback during tuning and performance.
