Thomann had (still have?) this thing called "stompenberg", where they put up some mechanical switching system so that you could play audio files through the actual pedals in the system, and turn on the knobs / parameters. In the recent years some smaller businesses have started to offer outboard gear in this way. You upload some stem, and can process it through their hardware remotely, and get back the results.

No way! My friend and I were half joking about building that as a sequel to realtuner. If nothing else, it'd be a great excuse to buy more gear.

Linking it here since it's easy to miss. It seems he is using the popularity of this to help a friend recovering from brain surgery, I think this makes this project even more awesome in my book.

I guess he would have to add a way to interact with the tuner's UI to switch to a different setting other than standard tuning.

It’s a chromatic tuner, there is no other setting

Thanks! Donated as well. When I grow up I want to have friends that will do the same to me...

Guitar tuner as a service was not on my 2026 bingo card but here we are. Creative project!
