Korg TM-70T Combination Tuner and Metronome

The TM series, a ground-breaking concept of a combined tuner and metronome, boasts a wide variety of functions and outstanding visibility, and is the ultimate tuning and rhythm training item for wind and string instruments. The latest model, the TM-70T, further elevates the original concept making it easier to use than ever. It is not only small enough to fit in a pocket, but features a new display with improved visibility, and a new transpose function (F, Bb, Eb) , making it the ideal partner for any musician. The sound quality of the metronome and sound out has also been enhanced so that it is easy to hear even in noisy environments. The quality, speed and accuracy of the tuning, which is essential to every performance, has also been enhanced.

The wide measurement range from C1 (32.70Hz) to C8 (4186.01Hz) enables easy and accurate tuning of low-pitched instruments, instruments with many overtones that are difficult to pick up, and acoustic instruments such as guitars and ukuleles. The CM-400 contact microphone (sold separately) can be used to transmit vibrations directly to the tuner for reliable tuning regardless of the surrounding environment.

The transpose function is useful for transposed instruments where the actual note played differs from the note name written in the score. In addition to the usual in C, it is now possible to switch between 'in F', 'in B♭', and in 'E♭' modes.

In addition to a meter for visual tuning, the TM-70T provides a "sound out" mode that lets you tune using your ear while listening to a reference tone from the internal speaker or a set of connected headphones. The reference tone can be selected from the three-octave range of C3 (130.81 Hz) to C6 (1046.50 Hz), supporting not only wind instruments but also a variety of other instruments.

You can set the metronome tempo using three different methods: "pendulum step" lets you increase or decrease the tempo value in the same way as the settings on a standard pendulum-type metronome, "full step" lets you specify the tempo in single-step increments in the range of 30–252, and "tap tempo" lets you specify the desired tempo by pressing the switch in time with the song you’re playing.

There are 15 different built-in rhythms* including time signatures from 0 through 9 as well as duplets, triplets, triplets with the middle note omitted, quadruplets, and quadruplets with the middle notes omitted, and the tempo can be freely specified in the range of 30–252 beats per minute.
