Notes: A synth-focused tuner merging Korg's pioneering experience in tuner technology with a deep understanding of the characteristics of analogue and modular synthesis. Designed with the unique needs of synth players in mind, the ST1K is compact, precise, and offers high visibility, ensuring your synthesizer is accurately tuned the way you want every time.

Analogue synthesisers can be tricky to tune! Not only can their pitch often fluctuate as the circuit adjusts to temperature changes, but you may also want to micro-tune different oscillators within the one synth.

This makes reliable tuning essential, whether you're recording in the studio or performing live. The ST1K delivers this with its capability for ultra-precise tuning to +/-0.1 cents. It features a large CMD LCD display that gives a clear, visually appealing readout of your tuning status, aligning with the aesthetics of modular and analogue synths. It also includes a built-in high-sensitivity microphone, expanding its use to a broader range of instruments!

At only 83 grams, this incredibly compact and light tuner is perfect for musicians and performers on the move.

Optimized circuitry for stable tuning of analogue synths

The ST1K's input circuit has been finely tuned to provide stable tuning for modular synths, accommodating high voltage levels without interference from LED noise, and with a clear focus on maintaining sound quality.

3D visual meter with large-screen visibility

The large, easy-to-read note name display and glowing LEDs allow the user to clearly perceive pitch deviations and changes at a glance. The 3D visual meter makes it possible to tune to within i0.1 cents, which is difficult with needle meters.

Ultra-precise tuning down to +/-0.1 cents
Professional recording and stage performances always require perfect tuning. The ST1K is capable of ultra-high-precision tuning down to +/-0.1 cents in strobe mode. With the high measurement accuracy of the flagship model, this compact device is a truly professional tuner that allows you to track down even the smallest errors in pitch.

Three meter display modes in addition to note name display

Three types of meter display mode can be selected to suit the player's style. In addition to the standard "Regular Mode", the "Strobe Mode" and "Half Strobe Mode" indicate pitch changes by the direction and speed of meter flow, making it easy to see even the smallest errors.

Compact, flat design allows you to carry a large screen with you

The meter display is large and easy to read, yet the body is smaller and more compact. The flat design provides excellent visibility and portability.

Notes: You may wonder - what's that strange connector on the top of the Bullfrog? This is the VOICECARD slot. Voicecards expand functionality of the Bullfrog and make it even more versatile. Essentially, the voicecards replace patch cables - they connect the "modules" of the Bullfrog internally. But that's not all about them - some voicecards have built in mixers, signal generators and advanced electrical circuits to control the synthesiser, for example, sequencer that sends CV to control pitch and gate to start events on the synthesizer (Figure 40).

When inserting voicecards, make sure, the front panel of the voicecard faces the main interface of the Bullfrog. It is recommended that you turn off the Bullfrog when inserting a new voicecard.

The WIND AND STARS voicecard makes internal connections of the Bullfrog so that it automatically emulates randomly evolving wind sound and blinking stars are controlled by the divider. Toddlers fall asleep better when they hear sounds like these.

The NOISE is patched into VCF and the VCF is patched to VCA. Set the VCA OFFSET to 12:00, ENVELOPE GENERATOR 1 to LOOP mode, NOISE LVL all way clockwise. Then manipulate SAMPLE & HOLD RATE setting, VCF CUTOFF, RESONANCE and CV 1 LVL settings, and well as ATTACK 1 and RELEASE 1 settings. Add some echo by setting the DRY/WET knob to 12:00 and find the best DELAY TIME and FEEDBACK settings.

Enjoy and goodnight!

As it's name suggests, the HIGHPASS VCF voicecard expands the sound treatment capabilities of the Bullfrog by bringing a highpass filter into the game. This allows for exploring highpass and bandpass filtering. The voice card features typical VCF controls - CUTOFF frequency, RESONANCE and CV LEVEL. The CV source switch allows for selecting between three CV sources - envelope generator 2, Sample & Hold LFO, which is a pulsewave generator in the Sample&Hold "module". The voice card features internal audio connections - the output from the MIXER is patched into the highpass VCF, the output of the highpass VCF goes into the input of the onboard lowpass VCF which is then connected to the VCA. For more flexibility, no CV connections for the Bullfrog are present on the voice card, so you have to do the patching yourself.

The ELECTRIC ORGAN voicecard makes internal connections of the Bullfrog to emulate pipe organ, when several notes are played together. It also illustrates the principles of ADDITIVE SYNTHESIS. In additive synthesis several simpler waveforms are mixed together to generate more complex sounds. On this voicecard the pulsewave is sent to the DIVIDER and all outputs of the divider are mixed together with the original pulsewave and sent to the VCF and then to the VCA. Both ENVELOPE GENERATORS are involved in the same way as on the Acid Bassline voicecard. The DIVIDER divides an original frequency by even numbers and as result produces a pitch that is even octaves down form the original pitch. Faders on the voicecard determine an amplitude of each suboctave. Set the VCA OFFSET all way counter clockwise, PULSE OUT to the max. Push the MANUAL GATE button to check the sound. Tweak settings of the faders and observe the difference in the sound. Tweak CUTOFF and RESONANCE knobs. Add some echo by setting the DRY/WET knob to 12:00 and find the best DELAY TIME and FEEDBACK settings. Now, connect the keyboard and you are ready to perform Toccata and Fugue in D minor.

Notes: The Chorda Strap Pack includes a premium adjustable shoulder strap and custom-designed strap pegs. Crafted from high-quality seatbelt material and vegan leather, the strap adjusts from 38 to 65 inches, offering the perfect fit for every musician.

The pack also includes two aluminum pegs, allowing you to easily and securely attach this strap - or any other favorite - to your Artiphon Chorda.

Notes: Voice cards expand the functionality of the Bullfrog and make it even more versatile. Some voice cards replace patch cables - they connect the "modules* of the Bullfrog internally, while others have built-in mixers, signal generators, and advanced electrical circuits to control the synthesizer, for example, the Sequencer sends CV to control pitch and gate to start events on the synthesizer and the Sampler/Looper emulates reel to reel tape recorder functionality.

The ADSR voice card adds a full four-stage attack/decay/sustain/release envelope that can be triggered by the Bullfrog's GATE button (or notes played on a connected MIDI keyboard). It is internally routed to the VCA once connected and features a RELEASE CV input, as well as a seperate OUTPUT to get another copy of the ADSR envelope that can be patched elsewhere.

Notes: A microphone stand adapter and a neck strap adapter.
