Erratic tuner readings #167

Hey Robin, just wanted to say a big thank you for all the hard work you put into making Pipedal such a stellar application!

I tried using the Toob tuner for the first time with my violin on stage, but I ran into some issues. The values on the screen were all over the place, and the needle was moving so quickly that I couldn't get a clear reading. It felt like the plugin was overly sensitive and unresponsive. I played with the sensitivity knob for a little but it didn't solve the problem. I've tried other Android tuners in the past, but they didn't behave this way, so there must be something with the way the plugin processes the input signal. Do you think the tuner's range around the target pitch is too narrow, maybe less than 50 cents? Or maybe adding a bit of delay or averaging while sampling could help solve the issue?

Let me know if you have any thoughts on this!

To be honest it was designed with guitars in mind where you can definitely get well I don't know maybe three cents tuning accuracy. You might want to try the Guitarix GxTuner, which is admittedly much less twitchy than the tube tuner/

Thank you for the quick response!! I'll give GxTuner a try and I'll report back here.
