Sweeteners & Temperaments
What is a Sweetener
TM
?
Unlike other tuners, which offer no alternatives to equal temperament, Peterson tuners contain many choices of
“sweetness” (degrees of harmony or consonance). The Sweetener feature is exclusive to Peterson tuners. This
setting also includes popular and historic alternate temperaments. Sweeteners and temperaments apply to both the
strobe tuner and the audio tuner. To tune without this feature, select EQU from the Sweetener menu.
EQU: Standard tuning temperament suitable for regular or alternate tunings, 100 cent intervals - no “Sweetening”.
