What is tuning?

FAQ's The Piano
Tuning is the process by which the piano is brought into sonic regulation with itself. The process of tuning is a multi-stage process. The tuner begins by setting the instrument to the pitch to which it is to be tuned. He then performs the setting of the "temperament." This is the 12-note pattern that governs the entire tuning of the piano. It is based on a mathematical formula that dictates that all the notes in this 12 note pattern be spaced equally apart in distance from each other.

Piano Expectations - Frequently Asked Questions
Each of the 88 notes on a piano has one, two or three strings. (Some pianos have more or fewer than 88 notes.) Over time, the piano will go out of tune due to changes in relative humidity. Changes in humidity expand and contract the wood of the piano, thereby altering the tension of the strings which affects the pitch of each string. In addition to changes in humidity, piano strings stretch with time, causing the piano to drop in pitch.

What exactly is the Buzz Feiten tuning system?

Frequently Asked Questions
In short... moving the nut about a millimeter closer to the first fret. You were expecting a long technical answer weren't you? Now you know why they try to keep everything about it a secret... but wait, there is more! Once this modification is done, you must use a special electronic tuner that has built in Buzz Feiten offsets to tune your guitar. You'll also have to learn a new method of string to string tuning for when you don't have your "special" tuner handy.

Chiptuning, Performance Tuning and Remapping Frequently Aske...
All RICA ECU upgrades for petrol cars are optimised for use with 98 RON super unleaded for maximum performance. For diesel engines, a high quality diesel fuel such as BP Ultimate or Shell V-Power is recommended. Using low octane premium unleaded fuel will not allow your engine to achieve its maximum potential from the Chiptuning and may in extreme cases result in engine damage under high load conditions. If you must use low octane fuel, you must not drive the car hard.

Only to a very small degree. The oscillations inside a curved bore behave a little different. Bends cause sharpness, but in the Flutelab headjoints that effect has been compensated for in both bore size and diameter. The headjoints are made to A=442Hz. If you want it different, tell me, and it can be made.

What is servo tuning?

FAQ about PMC Motion Controllers
A servo is a type of closed-loop feedback circuit. A servo motor works by comparing the motor's actual position (as read from a feedback device - usually a position encoder) to the desired position (as calculated by the motion controller) and by dynamically adjusting the motion controller's command output signal so as to try to minimize the difference (error) between the two.

What is tool tuning?

UF High Speed Machining FAQ
Recent research by Winfough, Smith, Tlusty, Halley, and Davies et al. [1-3] has suggested that, rather than assuming fixed dynamics, the tool point frequency response can be varied by adjusting the tool overhang length in a method referred to as tool tuning.

What is alternative tuning?

uk.music.guitar -- frequently asked questions
Standard tuning on guitars is EADGBE but there are other possibilities which can change the entire timbre of the guitar. Naturally chord shapes are a little different but alternative tuning can open a whole range of possibilities for both the fingerstyle acoustic and electric guitar player. One of the simplest is known as the dropped D tuning. In this tuning, the bass E string is simply detuned down a tone to D.

It is confusing that there are so many different ways of tuning it up. What should I do?

FAQ
This is, of course, up to you. You need to decide what you want your bike to do. If on the track, go for full on jet kits. If on the street, maybe simpler measures might be worthwhile. Fit 3/1 Micron/Sebring/Staintune all are expensive, but the sound and improved accelleration is worth it. The jury's still out: only beneficial if your fuel is crap and needs more burn time (see Jim Bazz' experience on his Daytona 1200. He is not very big on the timing rotor at all.)

What further tuning is possible?

Chiptuning, Performance Tuning and Remapping Frequently Aske...
Chiptuning is often refered to as 'stage 1' tuning. However, further tuning is always possible. The sky is the limit and depends largely on your budget, but it is not always economically viable for every car. More power costs more money, and the cost of tuning often increases exponentially when trying to extract more power, so essentially the higher the level of tuning, the lower the value for money for the power you actually get, especially when compared to software tuning alone.

What is the frequency in Hertz of each of the tuning forks?

American Diagnostic Corporation - Frequently Asked Questions
The model for each tuning fork represents the vibrational frequency measured in cycles per second (cps) or Hertz. For example, the C128 vibrates at 128 Hertz or 128 cycles per second.

How does the K3 passband tuning work?

Elecraft K3 FAQ
The K3 includes passband tuning. It's designed to take maximum advantage of its large number of crystal roofing filters and IF DSP in combination. There are two sets of controls: SHIFT/width, and hi-cut/lo-cut. Tapping a single button switches between the two. An optimized DSP graphic on the LCD sits just above the knobs, and shows you at a glance whether the passband has been shifted or narrowed as a result of using these controls.

Are there any other functions performed by the two VFO tuning knobs?

Elecraft K3 FAQ
The main tuning knob controls the main RX and transmit. If in SPLIT mode, the transmit is done on the VFO B frequency. The smaller VFO tuning knob controls the VFO B frequency. VFO B will be the subreceiver frequency if that option is installed. Is the K3 compatible with visually impaired operators? Would like to have a voice announcement of frequency, mode, and S-meter readings.
Related Questions

Is it normal for the tuning light not to light as often on the AM band?

Frequently Asked Questions - Tivoli Audio, LLC
Yes. It requires a much stronger signal on the AM band than on the FM band for the amber tuning indicator to light, so it is not unusual for the light to be out when an AM station is tuned.

What do the different tuning fork frequencies test?

American Diagnostic Corporation - Frequently Asked Questions
Tuning forks are used to conduct hearing and neurological vibratory tests. The c128 and c256 forks are generally used for the neurological tests, while hearing tests are often conducted using the higher frequency forks.
Related Questions

What is the purpose of the weight on the C128 and C256 tuning forks?

American Diagnostic Corporation - Frequently Asked Questions
As the frequency decreases, the tuning fork's arms must be increased in length. In order to keep the size of the instrument manageable, weights are added to the c128 and c256 frequencies. Without them, these two models would have to be considerably larger.

Is there a Micro Tuning function?

EX5Tech
The "compromise" tuning used for most of the last 200 years of Western music, and found on most electronic keyboards. Each half step is exactly 1/ 2th of an octave, and music can be played in any key with equal ease. However, none of the intervals are perfectly in tune. This tuning is designed so that most of the intervals (especially the major third and perfect fifth) in the major scale are pure. This means that other intervals will be correspondingly out of tune.

InsideTNC FX5900XT Tuning ? what is it?

X-bit labs - Print version
This is a BIOS in the mvktech.net collection from InsideTNC videocard (See Unit 2.8.7). It seems to be a modification of the BIOS from a top-end card because the card itself has 2.2 ns chips. It often dramatically improves overclockability of the Hynix memory (up to a gain of +100MHz!), but probably through setting higher timings, because the performance increases not proportionally to the frequency gain. This BIOS is not recommended for the Samsung memory. You can download it here.
