THE IMPACT TWIN TUNER

Impact Twin comes with an excellent tuner that provides various modes for stringed instruments. The Tuner page holds all

relevant parameters as well as the tuner display. The tuner works on both channels 1 and 2.

In

Strobe mode, three LEDs are always lit. If the pitch of the played note is too low, the LEDs run from right to left. If

the pitch is too high, the LEDs run from left to right.

In

Normal mode (see below), three green LEDs at the center position indicate that the played note is in pitch.

The displayed notes reflect the selected scale mode. In the example above, all eight pitch notes are indicated because

the C-Major scale mode is selected (see section 7).
