Pedal Steel Guitar Tuning App ?

Hasn't anyone developed a Pedal Steel Guitar App for E9 and C6 to include a option to program your own copedant ?

Im looking for one for my smartphone which is with me at all times and very handy and also one for the music laptop computer. I think this would be much handier than buying a portable hardware one that requires a battery.They have them for bass guitars but not for PSG.

Cleartune will support custom temperaments, available on Android and iPhone.
I forget whether it's 3 or 4 bucks.
I don't know if there's a maximum number of temperaments, mine has 4 of mine in it.
It does have one limitation in that it only allows one value per note: no different C# for different octave

+1 for the Cleartune app, accurate, easy to program, you do need an iRig to plug directly into it though.

you don't need an iRig. Peterson sells an adapter for $13. I think Radio Shack sells one too.
Or you can use the mic in the phone

Another +1 for the Cleartune App. I use mine on the iPhone just with the mic. I just place it beside the neck and it seems to work fine. If it was noisy an adapter would be good.

Can anyone help me please? The phone I have at the moment is an HTC Wildfire S I want to know if I can d.load Cleartune on it and if its poss. to input directly into it via cable?, as I am sure the mic would be no good if I am with a loud band in the middle of a session

You'll want this adapter to plug into your phone, but Cleartune will run on your android phone.

Thanks for the input Lane, I see it says Itouch etc on the connector blurb but I could find no info on the headphone socket on my HTC as to if it would take a mic input or not.....is`ent this forum great!

Yes: all modern phones are set up so that TRRS (although the sleeve is so short that it looks more like TRRR) has mic input at the 2nd ring from the base so that headsets with mics will work. So even though the Petersen adapter only says Apple devices, it works on all mobiles.

With the Cleartune, you can set up different offsets for each temperament: one for pedals up and one for down..... just label them as such. E9 and E9p. For that matter, you can create as many temperaments as you need for each neck.

Pitchlab at the Play Store for Android has one for free with several approaches including Stobe...It even has tempured settings for both E9th and C6th.
