Chronos shows pitch as a continuous curve in real time for voice and MIDI. Instead of snapping to note values like a traditional tuner, it visualizes full pitch movement over time. It supports per-note pitch tracking with MPE, works with custom tuning systems beyond standard equal temperament, and provides scale context with built-in Western and Arabic modes.

About
Imagine finally seeing the true soul of your performance, not just the notes you intended to hit. That's the power of Chronos. This isn't just another digital tuner that tells you if you're sharp or flat; it's a revolutionary visual tool designed for musicians who demand absolute precision and deep understanding of their pitch articulation. Chronos transforms the ephemeral nature of pitch into a tangible, continuous curve displayed live as you sing or play MIDI. Where traditional tools force your performance into rigid boxes, Chronos reveals the subtle, expressive slides, microtonal inflections, and dynamic vibrato that define your unique musical voice. Whether you are a vocalist pushing the boundaries of expression or a synthesist crafting intricate MPE performances, seeing that pitch movement in real time gives you immediate, actionable feedback. You move beyond simply being 'in tune' to mastering the art of *how* you get there, turning subtle adjustments into conscious artistic choices that elevate your craft instantly.
What truly sets Chronos apart is its commitment to musical nuance beyond the standard twelve tones. We understand that music spans the globe, which is why Chronos supports custom tuning systems, liberating you from the confines of standard equal temperament. If your music calls for microtonal exploration or ancient scales, Chronos follows you there, tracking every nuance of your performance perfectly. Furthermore, to keep your creative exploration grounded, the system provides crucial scale context, offering built in support for familiar Western modes as well as rich Arabic modes. This means you can visualize your pitch movement not just against a theoretical center, but against the specific harmonic framework you are currently employing. It's like having a master instructor looking over your shoulder, showing you exactly where your pitch lands relative to the notes that matter most in your current musical context, making complex tuning concepts intuitive and immediate for both practice and live performance refinement.
