I don’t hate the Korg, but I still prefer the IMT-500. I don’t play in a band or with other instruments, so I have not noticed that it is doing a poor job tuning, at least not to my ear. A wide detection range of A0-C8 (88 notes). Bright LEDs are used to display three types of tuning modes.
#Korg dt 4 chromatic compact strobe tuner professional#
I know that professional musicians will argue that the Intelli IMT-500 tuner is not a very precise tuner, but it just feels easier to use, so I continue to come back to it. A compact and unique high-performance chromatic tuner. I find that I it takes me longer to tune with this tuner because just as I think I have a string in tune, it will tell me that it’s a little sharp or flat again. However, doesn’t feel as precise as needle style tuners when you’re trying to use it because it seems to be really sensitive. The Korg DT-4 is a relatively easy to use tuner and has an accuracy of better than +/- 1 cent. Also, if the DT-4 doesn’t detect any sound for 10 minutes, it will power off automatically. The Green and Red LEDs are really bright, so this tuner would be great for use on a dark stage.

Red arrows at the top and bottom of the display will also light up when the string is in tune. With it, the idea is to tighten or loosen the string that you’re trying to tune so that the lines on either side of the display will come to the top center as just one line.

I’ve ordered one to review and use with my ukuleles. It might be a good alternative to the more expensive Peterson strobe tuners. The third mode is called the Mirror mode. The DT-4 is a strobe style musical instrument tuner from Korg. As you can see from the image above, the note is flat because the center LED is not lit up, an LED to the Left is instead. If flat, they will light up on the Left side. If your string is sharp, the LEDs to the Right of the center will light up. Meter mode works more like the IMT-500 as you are trying to get the top center LED to light up, along with the Red arrow. Red arrows above and below the displayed note will also appear to let you know you’ve correctly tuned the string. As you tune the string to the correct pitch, the rotation will slow down and then stop. If the note is flat (too low), the lines will rotate in the opposite direction.

If the note is sharp (too high), the lines will rotate clockwise. Strobe mode shows three lines that rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise around the detected note when you play pluck a string. This chromatic has three different display modes to help you tune. There’s a power button, display button and the up / down calibration buttons. The top edge is where the control buttons are located.
