CTM-700 : Everything perfect but tracing display delays

10 years ago

Really flexible tuner with good visibility and features.

But I find it close to unusable for tuning - tracing is slow with 1-2s delay.

So hard to use really when you have to stay for 5-10s or so on a string to know if it's in tune or not.

Tried both for guitar and bass, and with vibrator and cable, some thing.

Those that have similar display, like Snark, are really easy and fast to use - you are done in a sec. It flickers quickly between measurements which I prefer.

If adjusting internal software on chips, CTM-700 would be a killer tuner. Well thought out in every other aspect but tuning.
