3 . Tune the String
Tune the string while watching the display and the three
indicators above the [TUNER] button (the latter indicate
precise tuning in the TUNER mode). Tune so that the
current sting number and note name appears on the
display, and so that all three indicators above the
[TUNER] button light simultaneously.
Tuning
The G50’s built-in tuner makes it easy to precisely tune
your guitar — even in a noisy environment.
1 . Engage the Tuner Mode
Press the [TUNER] button. The red indicator above the
[TUNER] button will light and the current base tuning
pitch will appear on the display: normally “A 440”.
Although standard “concert pitch” is A = 440 Hz, the base
pitch can be set anywhere from 440 to 445 hertz in 1-
hertz steps at this point by using the [-1] and [+1] buttons.
— — No input.
— — Flat (pitch too low).
— — Sharp (pitch too high).
— — Perfect tuning (within
±
3 cents).
PARAMETER MEMORY#/VALUE
■ NOTES
• Tuning pitch is remained in the memory even if power is
turned off. Tuning data is transmitted via the MIDI OUT
terminal when power is turned on or the Tuning pitch is
changed.
2 . Play a Single String
Play the first string you want to tune. The closest note to
the current pitch of the string played will appear on the
display: “A” through “G#” (a “#” is indicated by the
small “ ” to the upper right of the note name). When the
detected pitch is close to that of the standard tuning for
the guitar string, the string number will also appear on the
left of the display: e.g. “5 A” for the 5th string on a
guitar, normally tuned to “A”.
Tuning
4 . Repeat for All Strings
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all strings.
5 . Return to the PLAY Mode
Press the [PLAY] button to return to the PLAY mode
when all six strings have been precisely tuned.
