Poly tune is great....does all strings in one shot and is pretty accurate

Just this weekend, both tuners on Amplitube and Guitar rig were having accuracy problems (I think there may have been a filter on somewhere in the chain that I couldn't disable). Anyway, I just reach for my iPhone and within seconds, problem solved.

Having the data for all the strings at once is a huge convenience, IMHO, as it really gives you a quick overview of where you stand overall. Best of the app tuners that I have seen.

So many plugins, so little time...

Thanks for all answers so far, but I should have been more specific.

I am currently using the iPad (with a Tascam US-800) to multitrack performances involving my modular synth and a couple of grooveboxes. The huge advantage of the iPad is that it allows me to do without the PC during recording (my current DAW is quite a bit old and noisy).

I would like to be able to use a tuner app to tune the modular oscillators prior to recording. I'm currently using an Ibanez guitar tuner, but I could save some time (and a patch cable) if I could just tune it with the iPad. Also, I would sometimes like to see specific waveforms, especially from EG's and LFO's, and that's why I would also like an oscilloscope app. The outputs of the modular are permanently plugged into a couple of inputs on the US-800, so it's just a matter of loading the app (tuner/oscilloscope/recorder) that I want to use, without having to plug/unplug anything else.

I'm going to check out PolyTune, but I think it's a bit overkill since I only tune one oscillator at a time.
