3.5. Intonation Training
While not a separate mode, the intonation training aspect is integrated into the tuner and tone generator functions. The device provides feedback on how close your played note is to the target pitch, helping you adjust your playing for better intonation.
Conseil: Use the tone generator to play a reference pitch, then try to match it precisely on your instrument while observing the tuner's feedback. This iterative process helps develop a strong sense of pitch.
