Tuning, on Your Terms.

Stay in tune quickly, easily, and accurately with the bx_tuner by Brainworx.

Now You Can…

  • Tune guitar or bass easily and accurately inside your UAD-2 or Apollo-equipped workstation
  • Customize the tuning LED’s tracking with the Ballistics feature
  • Quickly tune with reduced volume using the unique Output Dim feature
  • Instantiate on multiple inputs to avoid plugging and unplugging of instruments
  • Get the bx_tuner free with the ENGL Amplifier Plug-In bundle

The Brainworx bx_tuner plug-in is an intuitive, easy-to-use, chromatic tuner that can be inserted into a channel or bus to keep your tracks sounding their best. The bx_tuner offers dead-on chromatic tuning as well as some slick features to make your sessions as productive and in-tune as possible. Dim mode offers tuning with sound, but at a reduced volume level to save your ears, while a Ballistics feature gets rid of the “nervous needle” phenomenon and lets you customize the action of the LEDs and how fast they track pitch changes.

Everyone needs to be in tune. The bx_tuner allows you to do it elegantly and accurately within your workstation.

Awful

I was trying to tune an electric guitar with a capo in the 4th fret. It could not tune it properly at all. It was completely, bafflingly out of tune. I plugged in my boss tuner and had it tuned perfectly in about 30 seconds. I have never used a more useless tuner in my life. So weird.

Doesn't work.

If you missed out on buying this, be thankful. It simply doesn't work. Not only does the needle jump around and never stay in one spot long enough, it doesn't know what note is being played. I play my E (yes, checked with other tuners and an electric piano to be sure) and it is showing F#. Not even close to being useful. POS app IMHO

You're all wrong!

Normally, I would agree wholeheartedly with all the one star reviewers who point out that this most basic of plugins should be included free. But what you guys don't understand is that this BX tuner really is BS. Really, it's quite awful. A cheapo clip-on will give you better results. The needle basically never calms down. It's like a nervous chihuahua, jumping around like it needs to pee toute de suite. Just having rough and fine tuning increments is not enough. If a tuner goes from "almost" to "precise", it needs to slow down eventually and allow you to approach perfection very gingerly. This thing hunts and jumps like a gnat on a triple espresso. It never seems to get you in the ball park. Reliably, the results are off. If it was free, it'd be too expensive. This way, it's just a joke that's best ignored completely.

No UA tuner?

Just came into the UA ecosystem after leaving the dumpster fire that is Waves. So far I've been liking it. Then I tried to find a (free/inexpensive) tuner to use in Console...

wow. just wow.

today for the first time ever i decided i was going to buy the most unfairly priced plugin in the whole UAD system: a tuner that should be free but costs what like 60 bucks usually? cant remember. probably more. but i was ready to buy it. NOW, its not even available to buy by itself? i have to buy a whole bundle to TUNE A GUITAR OR BASS? thats plugged into UAD? i mean come ON! that is ridiculous. glad it gave me a reason not to purchase.

単体で販売してください。

私以外にもたくさんの方が書き込まれていますが、単体で販売して欲しいです。このチューナーを手に入れるためだけにアンプシミュレーターのバンドルを買わなきゃいけないのはおかしいです。

A tuner should be included

So sad you have to buy a 200€ pack for this, there should be a UAD tuner

cannot buy it separately?

UA, that's is so, erm, strange I cannot buy only this plugin (needless to say maybe that one should be for free?)

Should be included for free

As all have said, not including at least a basic tuner isn't a good look for UA.

UA needs a free tuner

I will never ever pay money for this or be excited because it is included for free in a bundle

Should be free or available as a stand alone plugin

Agreeing with everyone else here. Either make this free with console, or at least sell it as a stand alone 30$ plugin. DSP is slowly dying anyway, but a DSP tuner before your chain is a perfectly fine usage for it.

Eko eko eko....

what others say here. Not having access to a tuner without buying a bundle just feels really grubby. But then, Luna has no video facility. These scenarios should not be a work in progress but a total given. Seem's strange that now you made the leap to 'native' that using many elements of UAD means switching between DAW's. It's impossible to get everything right but, a tuner and a video facility is so basic. Just an idea, but put a call into brainwork and by the end of the working day we'll all be able to buy a tuner for $30. Or you could design your own in 24hrs. With a valve in it. Joking.

Come on UA!

This should be included, not as a tag on, to force you to buy some 300 guitar plugin package. REALLY?!!

Insane , No Tuner

How about UAD creating a simple Tuner , with the next console update ,
and it should be free .

I don't think this is much to ask for , Thank you .

Trial license got werdly expired in 1 day - LUNA should have a built in tuner!

I’m super sad that Luna doesn’t have a tuner and this tuner was the only option I found. I activated the trial and it got expired in one day. Tested the tuner only once.
