It Even Does This! — Convenient Functions

Adjusting the Reference Pitch

— Master Tuning

In situations such as when playing in ensemble with other instruments, you can adjust the pt-2000’s reference pitch to that of another instrument.

Middle A is generally used as the standard reference pitch for tuning instruments. When performing in ensemble with other instruments, the ensemble will not sound good if the instruments are not in tune with each other. This tuning of all the instruments to a reference pitch is called “Master Tuning.”

The reference pitch is reset to 440 Hz when the power is switched on, with 440 Hz played by Middle A (A4).
