Here gxtuner does recognize my sine waves (voice init) from a DX7, but
high frequencies are ignored and btw. for the frequencies that are
recognised, gxtuner or my DX7 is very inaccurate.
My Boss TU-12H is able to notice all frequencies from the DX7 and
claims that all frequencies are accurate. My hearing claims that the
Boss tuner's claim is ok and that gxtuner is mistake.
Some years ago I tested several tuners. The Boss TU-12H is one of the
best I know, while many other tuners were completely unusable. One
Linux tuner I tested was very good too, IIRC it was fmit but it
doesn't work anymore since years, perhaps it was another Linux tuner.
I bought and tested many tuners, the Boss TU-12H and another one from
Korg (not available anymore) are the only tuners that fit to my
taste ... yes, one Linux tuner, perhaps fmit fit to my needs too, but
it stopped working years ago. I don't test tuners all the times, I
simply stay with the tuner that fits to my needs. You should test any
instrument tuner available for Linux, some might be crap and others
might do what you want.
Thanks Ralf, I tried lingot and it seems to be OK. Not as fancy looking
but it nicely shows notes, cents and frequency. No problem with jack
either. I still wonder what is wrong with gxtuner though.
