PanStrobe

PanStrobe is a harmonic strobe tuner built for handpan makers, tuners and players.

A handpan note is not one frequency — it is a fundamental with an octave and a compound fifth tuned above it. PanStrobe shows all of them at once as true strobe motion: each ring is one partial, position is phase, and drift speed is exactly how far off you are. When a ring stands still, that partial is in tune.

TUNE BY SIGHT
• Half-circle strobe disc or horizontal strobe rows — one band per partial
• True strobe physics: left = flat, right = sharp, stillness = in tune
• Live cents readouts with glitch rejection — and no averaging: the wobble you see is real signal
• Strobe divisors (÷2, ÷3, ÷5) slow the pattern for far-off notes

HEAR THE WHOLE NOTE
• Real-time spectrum with a piano-key axis and labelled peaks
• Waterfall view: watch each strike's harmonics evolve over time
• Automatic note detection, or lock to the note you are working on

BUILT FOR THE WORKSHOP
• Chromatic notes with octave control, adjustable A4 reference, global cents offset
• Band editor with multi-partial templates (1:2:3 and more)
• Pitch pipe on every band — double-tap a strobe for a reference tone
• Dark, glare-free UI designed for metal shops
• Works fully offline — audio never leaves your device, no account, no tracking

FREE TRIAL, FAIR PRICING
Every install starts with a full-featured 8-day trial. After that, the free tier stays a single-band chromatic strobe tuner. PanStrobe Pro adds what the app is really for — every partial of a note at once, the spectrum analyser, the band editor and the pitch pipe — monthly, or yearly at about 20% less.

Made by Panlab — we build and tune handpans in Hong Kong. This is the tuner we use ourselves.
