Peterson StrobeHD Secret Button?

[Haddock]

Does anyone know if there’s a hidden button on the Peterson tuner that gives you access to a more comprehensive menu? Ive finally had the time to sit down and build my own sweetener on it and couldn’t believe how clunky and primitive the operating system is. I love the display and its clearly got the brains in there but having to build the sweetener on a computer via a web portal and then dump it into the tuner is so old hat! I want to sweeten on the tuner itself. I should be able to play a note, hold down a ‘store’ button and the tuner then remembers that that’s how I like that note. Yes the usb connection is nice but that should be for looking at the overall picture, perhaps a display of the whole sweetener showing Hertz, cents, the lot. I ended up using the Peterson app on my phone which has loads more detail and then taking the numbers from that and tweaking the software on the computer. Very slow! It is a very good tuner though!

Not that I've come across, Calum. I used 2 different plug ins in Reaper(DAW) to get the info, then it was a case of inputting the measurements into the HD via the Peterson site.
Clunky but, once it's in, nice and solid.

With all these compensator rods going hither and yon, this MSA of yours must be sounding like music to your ears. I'm looking forward to hearing the finished, and sweetened article.

Hi Calum
You need to communicate with Sue Haslam, who is Peterson's sales guru. She is very knowledgeable on the ins and outs of the various tuners that Peterson manufacture. I have PM'd you her email address.

Cheers, Ken

Thanks Ken, that’s exactly what I’ll do.

Thanks to everyone who suggested speaking to Sue. She was very helpful and is going to speak to the programmer about some updates to the web app.
She also says hello to Ken.

Cheers
