    Hi Jim:

    How does one sign up to test it?  I don't see any links other than the whitepaper.  I couldn't find it in the App store for iphone.  Am I missing something?

    Try here:

      https://www.vipertune.com

    The access code does not appear to be gated, I got one immediately.

    It's in beta, so it's not on the app store. It may never be in the app store, because it's implemented entirely as a web app!

    Hi Don!

    Cody says apps for both platforms are coming. It's beta software. It's currently a web app, so "good luck with all the browsers". It works on my iPhone/iPad is all I can attest to.

    He reworked his domains, now the app is here:

    Hi Jim,

    Thanks for your answer

    I got in--it looks as if it works like a web page--so it works with android, apple, windows, mac, etc. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    I've not had any luck with down loading the app.

    Hi Jim,

    I got it installed. They need an owners manual imo.

    Sampling is a bit unusual as it doesn't do every note. iifc it stops at a5? (I should have noted that down).

    I think 3 notes did not sample correctly, but there is no "instant" response so one doesn't know until sampling is completed.

    The piano I was using was a Yamaha C7B from 1977.

    Hi Jim,

    The device was on a win 11 laptop using the chrome browser.

    Yup, it was interesting, it seems to basically be making a recording, and then analyzing it. When you look at its diagnostics later, you can tell which notes didn't "take" but it doesn't seem to affect the curve much. I liked the waterfall display, showing energy intensity around the notes. Useful for the top couple of octaves.

    Last update I saw was on PianoWorld, and the apps are under development:

      https://forum.pianoworld.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/3649487/re-a-new-and-improved-vipertune.html#Post3649487

    I haven't tried the "classic" mode yet, but it looks to take less time sampling.
