When the metronome is operating, you can adjust the
•
LEVEL, but other items on the METRONOME screen
cannot be changed.
TIP
You can use the metronome like a click track to help
•
keep time when recording the first tracks (rhythm
guitar, bass, etc.) in a song.
If you want to use the metronome when practicing,
•
you can either turn the MASTER LEVEL knob all the
way down during playback or play a song that does
not have any recordings.

instruments.

INPUT A
.

INPUT A
input
source to
GUITAR/LINE
3 When the transport is stopped and the Home

DATA

(¥) key to open the
TUNER
screen.
The value of the
Calibration
item (standard
frequency) is selected.
5 Turn the
DATA
wheel to set the standard frequency
of the A note between 435 and 445 Hz. The default
setting is 440 Hz.
6 Play a guitar or bass string. The pitch name closest
to the string appears above the meters. Tune the
string roughly until the sound name that you
want appears. Then, fine tune the string until
the rectangle at the middle of the meter darkens,
showing that the string is in tune. If the pitch is
too low, a bar extends to the left of the middle and
if it is too high it extends to the right. The longer
the bar is the more out of tune the string is. For
example, in the following screen, the desired tuning
is D but the string pitch is too low.
