[Fwd: RE: freq counter?]

[Peter Blackett]

HI,
just a few personal viewpoints about measuring frequncy and synths .....
some of the better frequency counters use a phased locked loop to
multiply the input frequency so you can get better accuracy with shorter
gate time .
the Black star Apollo 100 I have got i'm happy with .
its may be easier to use something like a CONN strobotuner to tune some
of the synths / organs / electric piano's .
I know that Korg have made a tuner that has  a large diplay of led's on
it ,
is easy to see from a distance when something is in tune ......
Korg Also make a tuner that can cope with the different temperment
tunings ,
and you can set up your own unique scales .
But for general use the frequency counters in the common DVM's are great
.
would be possible to make a DIY tuner with lots of led's if anyone has
the time to design it .[ use pic's ? or Atmel ic's ]
