KORG TM-70CBK Tuner Metronome With Clip-On Mic

The KORG TM-70C tuner metronome combo is a full-featured electronic tuner in a compact package. Combining the TM-70T Tuner-Metronome with the highly sensitive CM-400 contact microphone, this all-in-one tuner ensures accurate and reliable tuning, even in noisy environments. 

The CM-400 clip-on tuner microphone attaches directly to your instrument, enabling more accurate tuning and reliable sound detection, especially in noisy environments. The cable is durable and disconnection-resistant with a soft, flexible wire sheath. The clip section is designed to securely attach to various instruments without causing damage.

The TM70C, compact enough for a pocket, features a new transpose function (F, Bb, Eb), making it ideal for musicians. Enhanced sound quality ensures clarity even in noisy environments. The quality, speed, and accuracy of the tuning, which is essential to every performance, have also been enhanced.

The LCD needle meter, which uses Korg's proprietary technology to detect pitch without time lag accurately, also allows you to check the "shaking" that tends to occur with long tones on wind instruments, helping you to develop a stable, unshakeable pronunciation.

The transpose function is useful for transposed instruments where the played note differs from the written note. It now includes F, B♭, and E♭, making it easier for beginners to play correctly while reading the score.

In an ensemble such as a brass band or orchestra, harmonies of third intervals are easily perceived as out of tune and can be made to sound better by slightly adjusting the pitch to a pure major or minor third. The TM-70T’s meter scale provides marks that indicate pure major and minor thirds, and simply by tuning so that the needle coincides with these marks* allows you to play in beautiful harmony with an ensemble. This is convenient not only for orchestral instruments but also for vocal music or a cappella practice.

In addition to a meter for visual tuning, the TM-70T provides a "sound out" mode that lets you tune using your ear while listening to a reference tone from the internal speaker or a set of connected headphones. The reference tone can be selected from the three-octave range of C3 (130.81 Hz) to C6 (1046.50 Hz), supporting not only wind instruments but also a variety of other instruments.

Sound Back mode generates the reference tone that’s closest to the pitch that you’re playing, while simultaneously indicating your input pitch on the meter. Since this allows you to check the pitch with both eye and ear, it lets you tune more precisely, and it’s also ideal for ear training. Refining your ear is a particularly helpful practice method for the beginner.

You can set the tempo using three different methods: "pendulum step" lets you increase or decrease the tempo value in the same way as the settings on a standard pendulum-type metronome, "full step" lets you specify the tempo in single-step increments in the range of 30–252, and "tap tempo" lets you specify the desired tempo by pressing the switch in time with the song you’re playing. 

There are 15 different built-in rhythms, including time signatures from 0 through 9 as well as duplets, triplets, triplets with the middle note omitted, quadruplets, and quadruplets with the middle notes omitted, and the tempo can be freely specified in the range of 30–252 beats per minute. Sophisticated rhythms such as triplets or quadruplets with the middle notes omitted are used in a wide range of styles from classical to rock and jazz.
