TC Electronic G-Major 2 - Manual (Page 23)

The Tuner is always on. It is displayed in the
LC display.
The following Tuner parameters are set in
the Global menu.
• Press GLOBAL to access the menu.
• Use the UP/DOWN keys to select
parameters.
• Use the ADJUST wheel to set values.
Tuner Mode
Defines the mode of the Tuner. Choose
between two modes:
Fine Tune
This mode offers maximum accuracy. Use this
mode when fine-tuning your guitar.
Coarse
This is a slightly less accurate mode, allowing
for fast results in a live situation.
Tuner Range
Defines the range of the Tuner. Select between
“Bass”, “7-string” Guitar and “Guitar” (six-
string). The accuracy of the Tuner depends on
the set Tuner range. Therefore, it is important
to set this parameter according to the
instrument you wish to tune.
Tuner Frequency
You can set the master tuning reference in the
Global menu. The range is from 420 Hertz to
460 Hertz. Standard tuning is 440 Hz, but
especially when playing with classical
instruments, frequencies from 438 to 442 Hz
are used as tuning reference.
Tuner Mute
It is often a good idea to mute the output of
your G-Major 2 when tuning your guitar. To
control the Mute function, you can set up either
a MIDI pedal sending a MIDI CC, a (momentary
or alternating) switch or even an expression
pedal. This is set up in the MOD menu.
Example
Setting up G-Major 2 to mute for tuning when
receiving a MIDI Control Change from your
MIDI pedal.
• Connect your MIDI pedal to G-Major 2.
• Press MOD and select the Tuner Mute
parameter using the UP/DOWN keys.
• Turn the ADJUST wheel to select “Learn” and
press ENTER. “>>>Learning<<<” is now
blinking.
• Now press the control change button on your
MIDI pedal that you would like to use for
muting the tuner.
That’s it – whenever you press this button in
future, you will be able to tune without
disturbing your fellow musicians.
