Peterson, the oldest tuner manufacturer in the world is proud to present - StroboSoft!

Building on the unparalleled Virtual Strobe technology, StroboSoft is the first ever true software strobe tuner with unique features for stringed instruments.

StroboSoft offers two interfaces, a Standard Chromatic Strobe Tuner as well as an Exclusive Instrument Tuner featuring nearly 30 custom sweetened tunings for fretted and unfretted instruments including instruments featuring the Buzz Feiten Tuning System.

StroboSoft™ uses the power of your computer and its high resolution to accurately display the pitch of your instrument as compared to either traditional tuning standards,our Peterson Sweetened™ settings, other companies tunings, or contributor settings. With the 0.1 cents accuracy and sophistication of StroboSoft™, Peterson's 55+ years of tuning experience has now taken tuning from plain black and white to the world of high definition color!

StroboSoft™ is simple to use in its chromatic tune mode and also has an exclusive instrument mode that allows you to define your instrument to StroboSoft™ and store those settings in presets to be quickly recalled at any time. After storing your presets, tuning multiple instruments with StroboSoft™ is quick and easy. Create a library of tunings for one instrument or better yet, all of your instruments!
