The strobe can change keys and temperaments, can store stretch tuning tables in a memory bank, and is a true polyphonic tuner. They introduced the "Strobe Center 5000" (SC5000), which used twelve microprocessor-controlled digital stepper motors-one motor for each note in an octave.
In the 1990s, Peterson made the first significant change to the spinning wheel strobe since the late 1960s. The Model 100 sold successfully in the early 1980s and stayed on the market for nearly a decade. The tuner used the strobe concept to create a rolling LED display that indicated pitch error by the speed of the rolling LEDs. In 1980 Peterson introduced the Model 100 tuner-designed exclusively for guitars. The tuner also became popular for precision tuning by school bands, top-level orchestras, and musical instrument manufacturers. The Peterson models became highly popular among leading touring and studio musicians, and were frequently used onstage by such bands as the Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, The Who, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Queen, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, the Bruce Springsteen Band, and many others. The only commercially available tuners in that era were manufactured by Peterson and Conn, which led to their presence on most major records and live concerts. The rise of popular music as a business force in the 1960s and 1970s brought increased demand for professionalism in performance and recording. The tuner was highly influential in Peterson Tuner's growing presence in the fledgling tuner industry. Musicians could select one- cent increments. It was the first solid-state strobe tuner on the market, and did not require calibration. In 1967, Peterson introduced its first strobe tuner, the Model 400. The user tuning an instrument set the tuner to a pitch and matched the tone. The Model 70 was a chromatic tuner that generated twelve fixed pitch reference tones. Peterson engineer, Bill Hass (born February 6, 1939, died May 3, 2008), built the first commercially available battery-powered handheld tuner, the Model 70, in 1964. The design advanced to solid state with the Model 300 in 1966. These tuners used vacuum tube technology and produced a wide range of finely adjustable audio tones. The Model 150, and the Model 200 released in 1959 were the first products to carry the Peterson name. The first Peterson tuner, the Model 150, was released in 1952, after Peterson developed it for their own use in tuning organs.
is still family owned, and still has an active research and development program for tuner and pipe organ-equipment product lines. The "BBO" used pipe organ components and beer bottles with liquid, precisely tuned with a Peterson strobe tuner, to produce a clear, flute-like musical sound when played with a keyboard or via recorded MIDI files. In 1998, the Peterson Company celebrated its 50-year anniversary by creating the "Beer Bottle Organ" prototype in the exhibit area of the American Institute of Organ Builders convention. Peterson became Company President, after previously serving as Design Engineer, Production Manager, and Vice President. Peterson bought their Strobotuner division, and continue to service the Strobotuner product line, which is now made in China. They built two additional buildings totaling 15,000 square feet (1,400 m 2) on the company site between 19. In 1964, the Peterson company built a new 3,000-square-foot (280 m 2) headquarters in Alsip, Illinois, on a plot of 2.5 acres (10,000 m 2). The company went on to produce other products for musical tuning, electronic organs, home security, and keyboards, and later developed and produced electronic and electro-mechanical equipment used in pipe organs.
In 1957, Peterson completed the world's first transistor organ for Gulbransen. He soon licensed his inventions to the Gulbransen Piano Company of Chicago to use in home electronic organs. Peterson founded Peterson Electro-Musical Products in 1948. He also focused on the realistic attack and decay of individual electronic notes. He founded Haygren Organ Company to build electronic pipe organs with a sound he felt better matched real pipe organs, and was the first to use multiple oscillators in the organ design to produce a genuine ensemble. Army near the end of World War II, and while stationed in New York City, developed a further fascination with the sound and mechanics of pipe organs. He served as a radio operator for the U.S. In his teens, he began developing a keen interest in radios, vacuum tube circuits, and pipe organs. "Dick" Peterson (born February 26, 1925, died January 29, 2009), was born in Chicago.
