I'm a band director. My Korg TM-40 metronome/tuner was stolen or lost by a student and this is what she purchased to replace it. It's not user-friendly at all, and I'm pretty tech savvy. I had it calibrated super flat accidentally and didn't notice and couldn't figure out what was going on with tuning. It took me a few minutes, but if a student were to use this, it could totally mess them up because they wouldn't know it was wrong!
I need instructions for this thing. Any way to get some written explanation of how this works.
Yes, it takes some time to figure out how to get each function working. Once you get it figured, it works great. It has many functions of more expensive tuner/metronomes. I particularly like the beat subdivisions in the metronome. Many great functions, I use it all the time. I've checked the tuner with more expensive ones and it's spot on! I like it, good device.
The directions on how to use this tuner/metronome are inadequate. There isn't enough detail to tell you how to use it. They don't even tell us what all the numbers and symbols on the screen mean. How do you "select half-note flat tuning," for example, when they don't define or describe which symbol on the screen that refers to? Even my daughter's violin teacher can't figure out how to use this machine. I'm not sure I'd buy this again if I'd known we couldn't figure it out with the given instructions. It's probably a good machine, but to learn to use it requires a lot of time, effort, and money to drive back to the store to have someone there explain it. I'm disappointed.
We are sorry to hear that! We'll contact you shortly to offer some solutions!
