The line of symbols on either side of the center square gets shorter as the played note approaches the “target” and the center square fills when the string is in tune:

Changing the tuning Most instruments are tuned to A=440Hz. If you are playing with another instrument that cannot be tuned, you may want to change this value, that is, tune your guitar to the other instru- ment.

Use the jog wheel to change the reference tuning away from 440Hz if you need to do this.

Noise reduction

When you are recording, the background noise of microphones, or the noise from guitar amplifiers, etc., may be too loud. The DP-01FX allows you to “gate” this noise, and only open the gate when the input signal goes over a certain level. This only takes effect when the MULTI effect is enabled.

1Press MENU, and then select the PREFERENCE menu.

2Use the arrow keys to scroll to NSP:

3Set the level at which the gate opens to a value of: OFF (the gate is always open), or from 1 (the gate will open easily, with very quiet sounds) to 60 (a lot of force—a very loud sound—is needed to open the gate).

DP-01FX Appendix

Using a noise gate like this sometimes requires a little work to make sure

that you don’t accidentally cut off quiet parts of a song. Before you make a recording using the noise gate, it’s a good idea to rehearse the whole part to make sure you’ve got the right gate level. guitara
