CENTS BUTTON
When this button is pressed, the cent value is highlighted (default is 00.0 cents).
Use the data wheel to enter a plus value (clockwise), or a minus value. This value is active only as long as the tuner is switched on. This feature may be used to
quickly (temporarily) align the StroboRack
TM to an out-of-tune piano in order to allow subsequent tuning of other instruments to match. It can also be used to
measure an existing tuning or temperament whose values are unknown by playing each note and adjusting the cent control to steady the image. The resulting cent
offset is displayed to 0.1 cent resolution on the menu screen. When measuring a tuning, ensure that the tuner is set to EQU, otherwise the measurement will not be
useable.
This control can also be used to quickly (temporarily) align the StroboRack to a recording that is slightly out of tune with standard pitch. Reasons for this are varied,
from altered tape/ playback speeds to instruments which, at the time of recording, were in-tune internally but differ from standard pitch.
PRESET BUTTON
This button controls which preset is active at any one time. A StroboRack Preset is a combination of a Sweetener (SWT) and a DROP value which can be
programmed in any sequence by the user and quickly changed by rotating the data wheel or remotely using a footswitch*.
*With SR_EX Expander installed only. Footswitch is available as an accessory from www.petersontuners.com/store
SWEETENER
TM
BUTTON
This allows the user to choose a Sweetener (see pages10 & 11).
Using the data wheel (G), the individual Sweeteners can be selected.
