Guitar tuner?

(1/3) > >>

SosolidCrew:
I`v used my Sansa e250 Rockbox as a guitar microfone for some time now.
Simply connecting a line cable from  the earphones connector straight into my mixer. Running it trough a guitar amp vst plugin on my comp.
Works like a dream, adjusting the record levels straight on the sansa with the scroll wheel.
So my question is if it would be possible to implement a guitar tuner into rockbox? Would be a fantastic tool for the guitar players out there.
Cheers and thank god for Rockbox!

Looks like one has already been coded, it just needs some fine-tuning.   :P

Why not just put an mp3 that plays a long A440? That would act pretty much the same as a tuner, except you need to listen to the earphones.

While that is an option, it is not at all like a tuner.

The Rockbox guitar tuner does the frequency analysis for you  and tells you when you are correct. Just playing a 440Hz tone leaves all the work to the user, and then what would be the point of having a guitar tuner plugin in the first place?
