Tascam PT-7 Chromatic Tuner

The PT-7 starts with a high-speed chromatic tuner, adjustable to 7 alternate scales, with a display ideal for students to practice finding their pitch on wind and string instruments, Tascam says. The metronome plays from the speaker or headphone out at rates form 30 to 300bpm in six time signatures. A mono recorder employs the internal mic to capture song ideas, listen back to a phrase or slow down a tricky passage to play along.
