A new, larger screen shows the tuner and metronome functions€š¬€š¬simultaneously. The TM-60 a must-have item for practicing. The best-selling KORG TM series, which lets you use a tuner and metronome simultaneously, has been revamped. The TM-60 is the newest model and features a larger display that can show the tuner and metronome simultaneously. The battery life has also been dramatically improved. With the all-new TM-60, youll be able to enjoy pitch training and rhythm training without having to switch functions or be concerned with battery life. Equipped with high-precision tuner function and metronome function. The two functions can be used simultaneously. The display is approximately 1.3 times the size of the previous model (TM-50), allowing the tuner and metronome to be shown simultaneously. Backlit LCD ensures excellent visibility even in dark locations. LCD needle-type meter detects the pitch instantly, providing the excellent response that you expect from KORG. A wide detection range of C1C8 supports a broad range of instruments. Calibration is adjustable to match various concert pitches. Marks are provided to indicate pure major and minor third intervals. Sound Out mode and Sound Back mode are great ways to train your ear. Metronome features a wide tempo range from 30 to 252 beats/minute. Choose from three types of tempo settings and 15 rhythm variations. Long-life design with approximately double the battery life. (Compared to the KORG TM-50, in tuner mode with backlight off) Convenient memory backup function and auto power-off function. Further improvements in ease of use, including a newly designed stand and battery compartment cover. Available in black or white, two simple and timeless colors. Separately sold CM-200 contact mic allows even higher tuning precision. The lineup also includes the TM-60C which is packaged with a CM-200 in a color that matches the body of the tuner/metronome unit. The TM-60, the tuner/metronome thats even more convenient and easier to use. Tuning and rhythm training are indispensable for brass band or orchestral practice. In addition to letting you use the tuner and metronome simultaneously, the TM-60 features a display thats approximately 1.3 times larger than the previous model (the TM-50), allowing easy viewing even when the unit is placed on your music stand, and also allowing the tuner and metronome functions to both be viewed simultaneously. No longer will you have to switch between functions; youll be able to use practicing techniques that are idiomatic to orchestral instruments, such as keeping a consistent pitch over the course of a long note while varying the tone to add vibrato in time with the tempo, or checking the pitch of chords while using the metronome. The enlarged display is backlit. You can adjust the brightness in two levels, soft or auto, ensuring stress-free tuning even when youre on a dimly lit stage or in an orchestra pit. The circuitry has been redesigned to achieve a battery life of 130 hours, approximately double that of the previous TM-50 model (tuner in use, backlight off). Theres no need to worry about the remaining battery life even during extended practices or performances. Tuner section quickly and accurately detects the pitch of wind and string instruments Needle-type meter with excellent response KORGs proprietary technology accurately detects the pitch without any time lag. The pitch drift that is prone to occur during long tones played on a wind instrument can be detected before it happens, letting you train yourself to produce unwavering tone with stable pitch. A wide detection range of C1C8 supports a variety of instruments The TM-60 can detect note names and pitches for a variety of orchestral and other instruments. The range from C1 (32.70 Hz) to C8 (4186.01 Hz) can easily be detected. Even acoustic instruments that are difficult to detect because their sound contains a significant amount of low-frequency energy or a large number of partials, such as guitar and ukulele, can be tuned easily and accurately. Also available in the lineup is the TM-60C, which is shipped with a CM-200 contact mic. By attaching the CM-200 to your instrument, the vibrations can be sent directly to the tuner for more accurate tuning. Marks that indicate pure major and minor third intervals In an ensemble such as a brass band or orchestra, harmonies of third intervals are easily perceived as out of tune, and can be made to sound better by slightly adjusting the pitch to a pure major or minor third. The TM-60s meter scale provides marks that indicate pure major and minor thirds, and simply by tuning so that the needle coincides with these marks* allows you to play in beautiful harmony with an ensemble. This is convenient not only for orchestral instruments but also for vocal music or a cappella practice. * When tuning to a pure major or minor third, the specific note to be adjusted depends on the music that youre playing. Sound Out mode generates a reference tone In addition to a meter for visual tuning, the TM-60 provides a sound out mode that lets you tune using your ear while listening to a reference tone from the internal speaker or a set of connected headphones. The reference tone can be selected from the three-octave range of C3 (130.81 Hz) to C6 (1046.50 Hz), supporting not only wind instruments but also a variety of other instruments. Sound Back mode generates the reference tone thats closest to your input pitch Sound Back mode generates the reference tone thats closest to the pitch that youre playing, while simultaneously indicating your input pitch on the meter. Since this allows you to check the pitch with both eye and ear, it lets you tune more precisely, and its also ideal for ear training. Refining your ear is a particularly helpful practice method for the beginner.€š¬‚¬Å¡ *This function is available when there is a connection either to the INPUT jack or to the headphone jack (or both). A metronome section thats useful for practicing a variety of styles Easily set the tempo using three different methods You can set the tempo using three different methods: pendulum step lets you increase or decrease the tempo value in the same way as the settings on a standard pendulum-type metronome, full step lets you specify the tempo in single-step increments in the range of 30252, and tap tempo lets you specify the desired tempo by pressing the switch in time with the song youre playing. Fifteen rhythm variations for practicing a wide range of musical genres There are 15 different built-in rhythms* including time signatures from 0 through 9 as well as duplets, triplets, triplets with the middle note omitted, quadruplets, and quadruplets with the middle notes omitted, and the tempo can be freely specified in the range of 30252 beats per minute. Sophisticated rhythms such as triplets or quadruplets with the middle notes omitted are used in a wide range of styles from classical to rock and jazz. *When using the tuner function and metronome function simultaneously, you cant specify triplets, triplets with the middle note omitted, quadruplets, or quadruplets with the middle notes omitted. Enhanced ease of use with a newly designed stand and battery compartment cover The design of the TM-60 pays careful attention to every detail of the unit. A folding stand lets you position the unit stably. The battery compartment cover is designed as a single piece with the unit itself, eliminating any danger of the cover being lost when you replace the batteries. Convenient memory backup function and auto power-off function The memory backup function ensures that the tuner sections calibration and reference tone settings, and the metronome sections tempo, time signature, pendulum/full-step, and backlight settings are remembered even when the power is turned off. (These settings are initialized when you replace the batteries.) If 20 minutes elapses while the metronome is not operated and no sound is being input to the tuner, the auto power-off function automatically turns the power off.
