GVST GTune

Very simple and very effective tuner. Doesn't look fancy, but there are nicer skins for the download... I didn't bother. The standard look is completely to the point.

Accuracy tested against my preferred hardware tuner: Korg CA-40. Spot on. The Korg can show just a little bit more detail visually with its LCD needle display. In GTune you have to look at one of the numerical values for that last bit of detail. Not that I think you'll need it though.

I wish more software were like this: just what you need, no more and no less. Makes life a lot easier. I very much prefer to work with separate simple but quality VSTs than with a big beast containing multiple effects etc.

Thanks a lot to the author, Graham Yeadon.

Just ramblin' on to fill the 1000 characters. Sorry for the messed-up ratings too. I gave a 10 to everything that simply doesn't apply in this case, such as sound, features, presets, support etc. Not available, not tested but definately not needed in this case. Enjoy a simple little useful tool.
