INTRODUCTION
------------
TUNE!IT is a program designed to tune musical instruments 
by using a microphone or directly connecting your instrument
(with a pickup) to the PC's soundcard.
TUNE!IT automatically detects the pitch of the input signal
and displays the corresponding note and its deviation from 
standard tuning. Optionally it can display the spectrum of 
the input signal, from  which the instrument's harmonics
can be identified.
