StroboSoft™ Software-Based Strobe Tuner
Peterson Strobe Tuners - PC and Mac OSX Compatible Peterson Strobe Tuners - Coming soon: StroboSoft 2.0
At Home on the Stage, in the Studio, or on a Bench
Create instrument profiles that include your instrument type and its selected tuning, including any transpose or drop settings. Plus, with the capability to store unlimited instrument profiles, you can add new tunings and save them under your own custom names for quick recall between live sets on stage or switching recording projects in the studio.

Just use your notebook's built-in mic or plug in a microphone and start tuning! Use StroboSoft to adjust more than just your tuning. Save time and money by intonating your electrics at home! Intonate your electrics quickly and easily using StroboSoft's Visual Intonation Guide. The built-in INTONATE function will visually assist you while intonating your instrument. The LED on the selected string will fill with color when you are in the proper octave-just isolate the strobe display and you're done!

StroboSoft will pay for itself after one set-up!

"Reviewing a tuner seems about as appealing as watching C-SPAN: Vaguely educational — and soporific. But the Peterson Strobosoft had enough surprises and “hmmm, that’s cool!” features to keep me more than interested...If you want to get into serious tuning, investigate Sweetened tunings, and have presets available for all kinds of instruments and playing options. There’s nothing with the StroboSoft’s extreme degree of accuracy, convenience, and depth."
- Craig Anderton, Executive Editor, EQ Magazine 2007

Sweetened Tunings and More
Take advantage of Peterson Sweetened™ Tunings with StroboSoft Deluxe. Sweetened tunings are a collection of offsets assigned to particular tunings designed to make chords sound, well...sweeter! No more flat chords or having the guitars sound "out of the mix". Peterson's GTR® and BAS® Sweeteners are proprietary settings based on the Equal Temperament scale. StroboSoft Deluxe also supports instruments with the Buzz Feiten Tuning System®.

"Having StroboSoft connected to the stereo mixing buss is a godsend when overdubbing multiple guitar parts--there is instant tuning feedback that'll keep your guitar player honest!"
Barry Rudolph, Engineer/Writer www.barryrudolph.com
Peterson Strobe Tuners - strobe display and preset screen

Large Display and a Myriad of Presets
Even if you have never used a strobe tuner before, StroboSoft's large, easy-to-read screen makes tuning simple. Now, sound out of tune only because you want to! With 59 preset alternate tunings on-board (Deluxe only), take your tuning to the next level and get the sound you are looking for. Save an unlimited amount of user presets.

Use the multi-function window (under note display) to view information about the note you are tuning, such as MIDI note number and frequency value. Instantly see how far out of tune your instrument is with the real-time cents window that displays how many cents off you are with razor-sharp 0.1 cent resolution.

"It’s honestly the only software tuning system I’ve found that works and, as I mentioned, it is endowed with scads more accuracy than any hardware unit I’ve come across."
Brad Watts, Review Contributer, Audio Technology Magazine 2006

Plug and Play
StroboSoft provides everything you need to accurately tune and even set-up your guitar or bass without the need for any expensive additional sound cards! You can successfully use StroboSoft with your stock hardware by plugging your instrument into the computer's sound card input.

StroboSoft's selectable sampling rate will support all sound cards up to 96kHz. Use the stereo/mono selectors to tune two instruments at once! Have an electric guitar on the "L" channel while an acoustic can be hooked into the "R", each with individual settings!
