Korg LCA 120 chromatisches Stimmgerät / Tuner Product Details

Description

The Korg LCA-120 features an extra large backlit LCD that offers an easily visible meter area, while the display contains convenient tuning functions for accurate tuning as well as numerous functions that are helpful for lessons, making this Korgs finest chromatic tuner.

The flip top design allows you to close the Korg LCA-120 to protect the LCD, while also making the unit compact for convenient transportation. Closing the tuner will also turn off the power automatically, preserving battery life. When tuning, the backlight will automatically turn on when sound is input.

The operating buttons are arranged with plenty of space for comfortable operation and easy access. Clear sound is produced from the large speaker.

Since Korg developed the worlds first needle-type tuner in 1975, it has been the trusted brand chosen by more than twenty million musicians. The Korg LCA-120 precisely detects notes in a wide range of A0-C8 (88 notes) using Korgs sophisticated technology. The calibration is also adjustable over a broad range of A4=410-480 Hz (in 1Hz steps), supporting tuning of wind, string, and keyboard instruments used in orchestras or brass bands. In addition to the conventional detection method, you can choose from three different tuning methods as appropriate for your needs: Focus Tune, Sound Back, or Sound Out.

Focus Tune mode allows even more precise tuning within a range of +/-10 cents.

If you select this mode, the entire range of the meter will switch to indicate the +/-10 cent range when the input reaches +/-10 cents of the correct pitch. This allows the pitch difference to be shown over a wider range, facilitating final adjustments for more accurate tuning.

Korgs own Sound Back mode is a tuning method in which you can tune using the meter display together with a reference tone generated by the Korg LCA-120. When you attach a contact mic such as the optional CM-100L to your instrument and connect it to the input jack of the Korg LCA-120, the speaker will produce a reference tone thats closest to the pitch of your instrument, and the display will indicate the difference between your instruments pitch and the reference tone. This lets you tune using both visually and aurally for greater accuracy, and efficiency.

The Korg LCA-120 contains a reference tone with a four-octave range of C2 (65.41 Hz)6 (1046.50 Hz). Since this allows you to tune while listening to a reference tone produced from the built-in speaker, its ideal when two or more musicians need to tune simultaneously. There's also a headphone jack with volume control, so you can tune without disturbing others.

You can obtain pure-sounding harmonies by slightly adjusting the pitch of major thirds or minor thirds relative to the equal tempered pitches. The Korg LCA-120s meter scale provides marks to indicate the position of pure major and minor thirds relative to a given pitch, and by tuning to match these marks, you can obtain beautifully consonant harmonies in an ensemble situation. This is convenient not only for orchestral instruments, but also for vocal or a cappella practice.

In addition to equal temperament, the Korg LCA-120 gives you the option to program your own temperament. You can specify the desired pitch for each of the eighty-eight notes from A0 to C8, and recall a frequently-used temperament at a touch.

The volume of your instrument is shown graphically in the volume meter as well as numerically (00--99). This provides a convenient way to practice maintaining a consistent volume, or to practice gradually increasing or decreasing your volume over a sustained note. The Sound Level Meter mode can be used simultaneously with the tuning functionality.

Even when the Korg LCA-120 is powered-off, its backup memory functionality will preserve the temperament program, mode setting, calibration, and other settings you make. (These settings are preserved even when you replace the batteries.)
