The HD8/HD16 incorporates a versatile tuner that can also
accommodate 7-string guitar and other unconventional
tunings. This section explains how to use the tuner function.

The chromatic tuner which can automatically detect pitch in
semitone steps operates as follows.

Connect the instrument that you want to tune

to an INPUT jack.

2.

At the main screen, press the [ON/OFF] key

for the input to which the instrument is

connected, so that the key is lit in red.

If two or more inputs are activated, the respective input signals

will be mixed and sent to the tuner. You should set all inputs not

required for tuning to OFF.

Hold down the [SHIFT] key and press pad 4

(INSERT EFFECT) several times, until the pad

is out.

The insert effect is bypassed, and the display indication
changes as follows.

Press the [ENTER] key.

The built-in tuner is activated. In the default condition of a
project, the chromatic tuner will be selected.

HINT

• You can use the cursor left/right keys to change the tuner type.

• While the tuner function is used, all effects are disabled.

5.

Play the note that you want to tune.

The pitch is automatically detected, and the display shows the
nearest note name (C, C#, D, D#, E...). The display also
indicates by how much the current pitch is different from the
correct pitch.

encloses the desired note.
