  2. Pipe organ tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_organ_tuning

    The frequency of a ′ (the standard note for tuning musical instruments), for example, could range from a ′ =392 Hz in parts of France to a ′ =465 Hz (Cornet-ton pitch) in parts of Germany. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Organs were often tuned differently than ensembles, even within the same region or town.

  3. Musical tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_tuning

    A Pythagorean tuning is technically both a type of just intonation and a zero-comma meantone tuning, in which the frequency ratios of the notes are all derived from the number ratio 3:2. Using this approach for example, the 12 notes of the Western chromatic scale would be tuned to the following ratios: 1:1, 256:243, 9:8, 32:27, 81:64, 4:3, 729: ...

  4. Tuner (radio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuner_(radio)

    Marantz 2050L AM/FM stereo tuner (USA; 1978-1980) [1]. In electronics and radio, a tuner is a type of receiver subsystem that receives RF transmissions, such as AM or FM broadcasts, and converts the selected carrier frequency into a form suitable for further processing or output, such as to an amplifier or loudspeaker.

  5. Electronic tuner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_tuner

    The way a regular tuner 'hears' and compares the input note to a desired pitch is exactly the same, with no change in accuracy. The least expensive models only detect and display a small number of pitches, often those pitches that are required to tune a given instrument (e.g., E, A, D, G, B, E of standard guitar tuning).

  7. Detuner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detuner

    For example, a relatively common arrangement on the bass guitar is to use a detuner on the lowest string to allow the bassist to switch between 'standard tuning' (E A D G) and 'drop D' (D A D G). The latter provides two extra notes (D and D# / Eb) that are particularly useful in several common keys .

  8. Automatic frequency control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_frequency_control

    Basic automatic frequency control in a radio receiver. У = RF amplifier stages, Д = frequency discriminator stage. In radio equipment, Automatic Frequency Control (AFC), also called Automatic Fine Tuning (AFT), is a method or circuit to automatically keep a resonant circuit tuned to the frequency of an incoming radio signal.

  9. Memory Reference Code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_Reference_Code

    It includes information about memory settings, frequency, timing, driving and detailed operations of the memory controller. The MRC is written in a C-language code, which can be edited and compiled by board makers. It provides a space to develop advanced features, and the ability to tune memory.
