★ Piano roll on bottom half of screen highlights correct notes for a specific scale in green.
★ Each note that is played in tune will show up green. ★ The notes that are off-tune will be red. The top half of the
screen is the tuner that displays exactly how off-tune you are.★ A scale is composed of 12 semitones, each semitone is made
of 100 cents, so there are 1,200 cents in a scale.★ The tuner will display how many cents you are off from the
correct pitch.

Risks○ Competitors - polyphonic tuners, ableton
features, ○ barriers to market entry - strong, established
music accessory companies, ○ return on investment○ R&D needs: Programmer to rewrite audacity
software, audio engineer

Target MarketMusicians both upcoming, and professional
Music theory is hard, the x-tuner is easy“See your music"
Experts (makes music for a living)Good for live performance of all levels of musician. Tune whole instruments at once, in whatever tuning you want. Tune the whole band.Makes composting easy, increases your workflow
Intermediate (knows instrument, maybe multiple)Helps grasp music theory, can visualize what you're making and see what works over time. Tune whole instruments, looking for a composition tool and tuner
Novice (just starting)Pretty much the same as intermediate but with emphasis on single instrument.
