Tuning instruments (Tuner)

Section 7

5.

While monitoring the tuning guides, fine-tune each
string in such a way that both of these guides turn on
when the string is played.

When the difference between the played note and the
correct note is within ±50 cents, the tuning guides
indicate the magnitude of this difference.

For example, when the right tuning guide is lit, it
indicates that the string’s pitch is higher (or sharper)
than the correct pitch, and you should loosen the
corresponding peg. On the other hand, when the left
tuning guide is lit, it indicates that the string’s pitch is
lower (or flatter) than the correct pitch, and you should
tighten the corresponding peg.

Repeat Steps 4 through 5 to tune all of the instrument’s
strings.

When you have tuned all of the strings, press [TUNER
ON/OFF] or press [EXIT/NO].

The tuner will be turned off.

Precautions for tuner usage

• Neither playback nor recording is possible while the

tuner is being used. Effects will also be inactive at
this time.

• Ensure that only the sound to be tuned is played. If

any other sounds are included in the audio input, it
will not be possible to use the tuner correctly.

• The tuner will not be able to correctly determine

pitches when the level of the input source is too high
or too low. If you are having trouble tuning an
instrument, try adjusting its input volume using the
corresponding INPUT SENS knob.

• If you do not want the sound being tuned to be

routed to the LINE OUT or headphone jacks, either
turn down the INPUT LEVEL knob or lower the
MASTER fader. Note that it may not be possible to
perform tuning if the INPUT SENS knob is turned
down.

• If you are tuning a guitar with a vibrato arm, tuning

of one string may cause the tuning of the other
strings to drift. In such a case, you should carry out
rough tuning in such a way that the correct note is
displayed for each string, and you should then
repeatedly fine-tune each string until all have been
tuned.
