It's the strobe effect that causes them to look like a slowing down or essentially coming to a complete stop. So it appears that the wheel stops, but the wheel in fact never changes its speed. So if the frequency that's incoming and is strobing is strobing faster than the relative speed of the wheel, it makes it appear that it's going sharp or flat. So it's taking advantage of that strobe effect. And what does is it takes, it listen for an incoming frequency and then behind the wheel there are lights that it strokes at the incoming frequency. So what is happening is this wheel is spinning at the same speed and it has different bars that go up in multiples of two, just like octaves do, they're just doubling. Um, so the concept of a strobe tuner I have found really fascinating in that it's very simple. Um, and then if we step down to this one behind me, um, this is one, this is like the original version of the strobe tuner. Also, I upgraded it with the green LEDs, which have really high lumen ratings. So it's kind of like an analog version of Linotune, um, the amount of times I electrocuted myself in making that happen. One, I'm just putting my silly logo on there, but um, it also displays things a little bit differently in that the wheel that's in there is a wheel that I have made based on somebody else's design. Um, from there we step down to uh, this one which I have fully hacked, um, to make it my own. So you can imagine that if this one has to rotate at say 55 RPMs and this one has to rotate at like 56.8 RPMs, the gear linkages between those has to be really precise. So there's this really intense internal gearbox. This one is different in that it is all geared together. So there's advantage to just one brain per motor spinning at this certain RPM. So this one is ran all by individual motors. Um, the next one down here, this is a Peterson strobe center, 5,000, which was kind of the industry standard, pre-Linotune um, so what is displaying is every note in the chromatic around here. Of course we have Linotune, which is a digital strobe tuner, which reads these frequencies in this note. Maybe we'll start with the newest and go to the olds. Now, it might look a little bit obsessive, which I've been also accused of being.

And so what I have is just a series of tuners. And, and along with, uh, another maker, we have kind of gone into exploring these together. I have been thrown down this path of exploring, um, everything that's pre-Linotune.
