KORG CA-2 - Chromatic tuner

KORG CA2 Chromatic Tuner - White chromatic tuner Smooth chromatic tuner that, thanks to its wide range and calibration function, works great for most instruments - Wind instruments, Strings, Double bass. The CA-2 has a built-in microphone and telephone input, so you can choose whether you want to plug it into your instrument with a cord or if you want to tune wirelessly, so to speak. The display is clear and for extra clarity there are three diodes located on the underside of the display, one green that lights up when the instrument is in tune and two red ones that indicate whether it is too high or low. You can tune using the pointer on the display or if you prefer to tune by ear, there is a built-in small speaker where you can get a tuning tone instead. Buy the contact microphone CM-200 if you want the ability to tune an acoustic instrument without being disturbed by ambient noise. Battery life is up to 200 hours depending on the quality of the battery and which tuning mode you use.

The company was originally called Keio Electronic Laboratories and moved into its first premises in 1962. The name Keio was chosen because it contained the initials of both founders' surnames. It was also the name of the railway line that passed right outside the window of their workshop. In 1963, Katoh and Osanai's first work, the Doncamatic DA-20, an electric rhythm box based on a rotary disk system, was introduced. The DA-20 was succeeded by the DA-11, an all-electronic DoncaMatic model. A few years later, Katoh was approached by Fumio Mieda, an engineer who wanted to build a new type of organ. Unlike most organs of the time, Mieda's version was programmable. Although he used the word 'organ' himself, Mieda had in fact designed a synthesizer. Fifty copies were produced and sold under the new name Korg, which was a contraction of the names Keio and Organ. During the 1970s, Korg developed a variety of synthesizer models such as the Mini Korg, PE-1000 Polyphonic Ensamble and MS-20. The company didn't limit itself to just synthesizers. 1975 saw the launch of the world's first pocket-sized tuner, the WT-10, a product that has since been followed by countless others. In 1981 came the PolySix, a synthesizer that was unique in that it was programmable, polyphonic and (perhaps most importantly) so cheap that virtually anyone could afford to buy one. Another big step forward came in 1988 with the Korg M1, a synthesizer that featured realistic sample-based sounds, a drum machine, sequencer and digital effects unit, all combined in one instrument - the world's first workstation, in short.
