Korg TM-1-BK

The KORG TM-1 BK is a chromatic tuner and metronome combo designed to work on both intonation and rhythm simultaneously. The display allows you to visually check your tuning while the metronome maintains the rhythmic reference, with 15 rhythm variations and a tempo adjustable from 30 to 252 BPM. The tuner detects frequencies from C1 to C8 with an accuracy of ±1 cent and supports the CM-400 contact microphone for precise tuning even in noisy environments. Weighing just 51 g and featuring a built-in foldable stand, the TM-1 BK is a particularly practical tool for lessons, rehearsals, and daily practice.

The KORG TM-1 BK combines two essential tools for music study-a tuner and a metronome-into a single compact device. The ability to use them simultaneously allows you to work on intonation and rhythmic precision in the same exercise, with immediate visual feedback on the display.

The tuner offers an exceptionally wide frequency detection range, from C1 to C8, with a measurement accuracy of ±1 cent. The standard choir note A=La can be adjusted from 438 to 450 Hz in 1 Hz increments, while the Sound Out function allows you to hear reference notes across an octave, from C4 to C5.

The metronome operates within a range of 30 to 252 BPM, with adjustment in single steps or via Tap Tempo. The movement of the dots on the display makes the beat easily recognizable even at a glance, while the 15 rhythm and subdivison combinations allow you to adapt the metronome to different exercises and musical styles.

For tuning in particularly noisy environments, you can connect the optional contact microphone to the 3.5 mm mini-jack input, transmitting the instrument's vibrations directly to the TM-1 BK and improving detection reliability.

Its compact design-measuring 100 x 60 x 16 mm, weighing just 51 g without batteries, and featuring a built-in foldable stand-makes the TM-1 BK easy to carry and use on a music stand, a desk, or any flat surface. It is powered by two AAA batteries, with a claimed battery life of up to approximately 400 hours in tuner mode.
