Changing Pitch Reference

If you turn the VALUE knob while using the tuner, the display shows you the setting for the Spitfire’s pitch

reference, which is set to 440Hz (shown as ) for the A note above middle C. The possible range of values for this setting is 35 to 45, which represents 435Hz to 445Hz.

When you turn the Spitfire on and off again, the reference pitch is reset to 40.

While you are viewing or editing the pitch reference, the display will return to pitch indication if you do not rotate the knob for more than two seconds.
