4.0 out of 5 stars Niche gizmo for singers
I bought this item to work on my notes for choir, help with my sight reading of music, to see where I needed adjustment and to train my ears for the right sounding note. The Korg VPT-1 does a lot of things good, but it's not great. It could've been great with a little more effort on the part of the manufacturer.Pros:- It shows the note you are singing on the treble and bass scale.- It allows you to adjust your octave range, high/low.- It has a tone-back function when using headphones.- It has a tone generator to get the tone for specific note.- There is a flat, sharp and spot-on indicator leds to let you know where to adjust your pitch for the perfect note.- It allows three modes of note pitch sensitivity, easy/medium/hard- Sound output volume has three modes, low/medium/highCons:- This device is cheap. It's made with thin plastic, cheap lcd display and is very light weight. The heaviest part on the device is the two AAA batteries which makes me wonder how long this will last.- As others have stated there is no backlight to the cheap lcd display. It is impossible to see in low light conditions.- The device is not fast enough to sing a melody, where notes change frequently. You have to maintain your note until the device figures out what note you are trying to sing and display the results on the screen, i.e., practice only, not to be used live or even during song rehearsals.- The tone generator is electronic output, so it sounds like a synthesizer when it gives you the tone. This device is for singers so having the option to hear a natural voice output or a recorded pitch pipe would've been much more useful.- No note up/down buttons to get to the note you want quickly. In order to go to a note higher than the one you are on, you have to keep pressing the note button and cycle down through the treble and bass clef notes, including all the sharps and flats, until you get to the note you want. I would have paid extra just to be able to switch note selection both up and down, not just down.- No metronome function that other devices of this type have included.All in all, the Korg VPT-1 is a unique device that has value in very limited practice situations. It does what it does in the cheapest way possible. If the cons were addressed, I could see every singer using this device, but I find it useful for practicing intonation while alone.

Easy to use. I'm no pro singer but this unit works well
5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful
As someone who has always been curious about how low or high the notes I'm singing are but have no experience or resources around me to help, I found this item to be VERY helpful. While there are apps online that can help determine those notes, having this device in hand comes in handy :D. My main concern with the product was the accuracy of it. It does seem to be quite accurate when I compared it to other tuning methods. The item also gives me something to hold as a "mic" when I'm singing karaoke or to myself. I would say that this product is worth it if you are willing to pay the price for it. I also want to add that ever since I realized the high notes I was singing(highest sung is a G5!), it's given me a confidence boost :D
1.0 out of 5 stars Inaccurate terrible slow device. Also is an octave off.
Thought this could be a nice cheap alternative to an expensive device or PC software. The synth sound doesn't sound good. When I play my piano it also plays an octave off so I can't even use my piano to help with the correct note listening to the device. It detects the middle c as one more octave over wrong to the left along with the other notes. Wouldn't mind the slowness of it if it would actually detect the right note and octave.
4.0 out of 5 stars Works Well In Good Light
I just wish it had two features:1. Illumination--can't see the screen without fairly strong light.2. Audible tone setting directly. Have to poke through both clefs of notes--all audible-- to find desired note, up to 40 clicks. Not a big deal, but . . .Somewhat expensive to have the vocal note verified, but useful.
3.0 out of 5 stars Close but not quite...
I had to use pliers to open the plastic container. Also, the instrument is not lettered on the black side, only the silver side, where the lettering is also silver. Not easy to read, especially in dark spaces.
2.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't even open the compartment for 2 triple A batteries
Tiny (which makes handling difficult) and made of flimsy feeling plastic with a sort of rubberized odd cover for the battery compartment that ran the length of the tuner (3 inches or so) I couldn't even open. Came in thin board packaging that was torn and worn. Top of the box was made so that it could hang in multiples from a wall. I'd have expected to pay $20.00 for such a thing if it were functioning - not nearly $60. Also shipping was slow and it was shipped in an padded envelop that had some rank smell.
Me encanto
Esta super con y sin audifonos, con el rango que maneja es más que sificiente, y me ha resultado útil para ver como ando en mi entonación
Useless
Unless you plan to sing sustained straight tones - with 0 vibrato 0 then purchase this. Otherwise save your money. It is useless.
fonctionne très bien
correspond à mes attentes
Great bit of kit
Easy to use and very helpful for singing. Happy to recommend this.
