KORG VPT-1 Vocal Pitch Trainer

Pitch recognition for singers from KORG, the leading supplier of tuners
A recorded voice always sounds different than you think it does - after all, you hear yourself differently when you sing. This is because you perceive the sound through different channels. It is not uncommon to have the impression that you are singing cleanly - but is that really the case?
With a little training, you can learn to hear yourself in relation to others and correct the pitch if necessary. This is a matter of course for instrumentalists. So why not for vocals too? The VPT-1 has been specially developed for vocals and is based on Korg's enormous wealth of knowledge: we have been producing tuners for over 40 years and countless musicians rely on them.
Display with staff display
When singing into the VPT-1's built-in microphone, the detected pitch is displayed on a staff with G or F clef. The red diodes on the left indicate whether the note is too high or too low: Correct the pitch until only the blue LED in the middle lights up. The octave function can be used to adjust the detection range to the pitch of the voice so that the detected tones still fit into the displayed staff.
The accuracy of the pitch recognition can be set in three stages. Initially, you could select “EASY” and then switch to “MEDIUM” after a while. If you want to sing flawlessly, choose the “HARD” level.
If you are struggling with a clean intonation, will be pleased with the “Sound Out” function, which can output reference tones. This is invaluable for songs that start immediately with vocals, for example. This function is also suitable for cleanly “hitting” different tones.
The “Sound Back” function takes on the role of vocal coach: you sing a note and the function plays the tonally correct note (headphone socket). This reference and the LEDs for the tuning display stimulate three senses at once: eyes, ears and mouth.
