Page 23

CD-BT1MKII includes a guitar tuner that operates in two modes, chromatic (CHR) and bass guitar (BAS).

Chromatic mode (CHR):

The pitch of the incoming signal is de- tected and displayed automatically.

Bass guitar mode (BAS):

You choose the string you want to tune before you start tuning.

To select the tuner mode:

1.Tap the TUNER/SETUP key and enter the Tuner menu.

2.Select MODE by pressing either the PREV or NEXT key.

3.Set the mode to either BAS or CHR by pressing either the UP or DOWN key.

In chromatic mode, TUNE:---is shown on the display. When you play a single note on your bass guitar when it is con- nected to the CD-BT1MKII, the tuner

“guesses” the closest note, and the note name appears on the display. Tune the string so that it is close to the note you want, and so that the right note appears in the display, and then fine-tune the guitar until the display shows a large center “blob” and the string is tuned. Repeat for all strings.

If the tuner is in the bass guitar mode, use the TUNE: XX item in the Tuner menu to set the note on the display, and then tune as above.

You can choose the note from 5B, 4E, 3A, 2D, and 1G, (the names of the bass guitar strings in standard tuning). The selected note is shown on the display as TUNE: XX.

Using the oscillator

The CD-BT1MKII can output notes (sine waves) in the standard Western musical scale between C and B in a three octave range. Standard tuning frequency in this case is determined

Using the tuner

by the setting in the CAL (calibration) function.

TIP

This is a convenient feature to use when tun- ing, as you can listen to both the sound of the oscillator and your instrument. It is also useful if you are tuning an acoustic instru- ment not connected to the CD-BT1MKII.

Tap the TUNER/SETUP key to enter the Tuner menu, and select the OSC (os- cillator) by pressing either the PREV or NEXT key. Press either the UP or DOWN key to set the note tuning you want.

Calibration

Usually, A4 (A above Middle C = stan- dard tuning frequency) is tuned to 440 Hz. The CD-BT1MKII allows you to set A4 between 435Hz and 445Hz.

Tap the TUNER/SETUP key to en- ter the Tuner menu, and select the CAL function by pressing either the PREV or NEXT key. Press either the UP or DOWN key to set a value be- tween 435 and 445 (Hz).
