The i2M musicport doesn't have a built-in tuner like the G2M and B2M. It converts the signal to MIDI (like the G2M and B2M) but also includes a USB audio interface, so you can use any software tuners on your PC/Mac. For best tuning results, we recommend Peterson's StroboSoft (www.strobosoft.com) which is the best software tuner available.

It does have an LED display to indicate current operating mode (there are 4 presets available) and to tell you when the input signal is clipping.

The pitch detection technology in the i2M musicport is basically the same as that used in the G2M/B2M, but there are performance improvements. Since the G2M, we've done lots of R&D to further improve the speed/accuracy of the pitch detection. Also, since the i2M musicport is USB-powered, we can use more processing power without worries about draining batteries.

Initial feedback from beta testers confirm that general feel/performance of the i2M is improved over the G2M/B2M.

I also did some comparisons with a Roland GR-20, and the tracking of the i2M musicport was not only faster but felt more musical. The GR-20 really couldn't capture the nuances of the pitch bend very well.

that's amazing....considering GR-20 detects pitch that came from hex pickup, which i think in theory should have a clear advantage ;) also it's great knowing that the bend detection is even more responsive now :)
