Peterson V-SAM - Virtual Strobe Audio Metronome Tuner
The Peterson V-SAM™ presents a combination of programmable Virtual Strobe™ tuner, audio tone generator, and metronome in a hand-held format. It marries the revolutionary Virtual Strobe Technology™, first introduced in the VS-1 tuner, with a new, brighter, high-contrast display. The high-output tone generator within the V-SAM offers 10 octaves of audible tones, which conform to a selected preset or custom temperament and are adjustable in 0.1 cent increments. This permits ear-training possibilities previously unavailable in a hand-held device.
Versatile Metronome
The V-SAM's audio/visual metronome allows tap or dial-in tempo, adjustable beats per measure, beat subdivisions, and a stopwatch function.
Built to be Better
The V-SAM's "tuner mode" expands upon the Peterson VS-1™ with an even wider variety of alternate temperaments and the ability to select temperament tonal roots. In addition, the user can create and store custom temperaments and use them with the same flexibility as preset ones. The V-SAM automatically detects a note being played in real-time and is accurate to 1/1000th of a semitone. It can transpose displayed notes based on any of 12 scale notes.
