Using the Tuner Function

CUBE-60XL BASS/CUBE-120XL BASS are equipped with a tuner

function. In addition to manual tuning, you can also use it as a

chromatic tuner.

* Use manual tuning when the strings are substantially out of tune

(such as after changing strings).

* When using the tuner function, no sound is played from the speaker,

the REC OUT/PHONES jack, or the LINE OUT jack.

* The sound input to the AUX IN jack is output.

Manual Tuning

1. Press the [TUNER] switch.

The unit enters the Tuner mode and the [TUNER] switch lights up.

2. Use the Type switch to select the string that you want to

tune.

Chromatic Tuning

If you hold down the [TUNER] switch for one second or longer, the

[TUNER] switch blinks and the unit becomes usable as a “chromatic

tuner,” which automatically determines the name of the note closest to

the one played.
As with manual tuning, chromatic tuning allows you to play a single

note on the string that you want to tune. Tune the string until the

green indicator lights.
