retuned

Retuned is the past tense and past participle of the verb retune, meaning to adjust tuning again or to recalibrate a tuning parameter after an initial setting. The term is used across fields that involve pitch, frequency, or calibration adjustments, and it often implies a correction after an earlier configuration.

Etymology: The word combines the prefix re- (again) with tune, which has historical roots in adjusting pitch, timbre, or alignment. As a compound formed in English, retune appears in technical and musical contexts to describe a subsequent modification to a previous tuning.

Usage: In music, retuned typically refers to re-intoning an instrument or electronic keyboard after changes in performance conditions, or when matching to a reference pitch in a recording or synthesis workflow. In electronics and broadcasting, retuned describes reselecting a channel or reassigning a frequency to align with updated spectrum usage or service parameters. In computing, retuned may refer to adjusting software-based filters, equalization, or control-loop parameters to compensate for drift, environmental factors, or user preferences. The common underlying idea is a corrective tuning performed after the initial setup.

See also: retune, tuning, calibration. The term is often found in manuals, technical reports, and musical documentation where precise adjustment of pitch, frequency, or related parameters is required.
