manual abstract
(the meter does not fluctuate). When in metronome mode: Switches the metronome sound on and off. 6. [SELECT] Button: The parameter to be set switches each time this is pressed. Use VALUE [ ▼ ]/[ A ] to make settings for the flashing parameter. In tuner mode: Selects whether it is the tuning mode, flat tuning, or reference pitch that is indicated. In Metronome mode: Selects whether it is the rhythm style, beat, or tempo that is indicated. 7. VALUE [ ▼ ] [ a ] : The selected parameter value decreases or increases each time the respective button is pressed. Holding down VALUE [ ^ ] or [ ^ ] when setting the metronome tempo causes the values to change more rapidly. 8. INPUT Jack: Connect the guitar, bass guitar, or other instrument to be tuned here. 9. MIC: Use this when tuning acoustic instruments. Position the mic as closely as possible to the instrument. Do not connect anything to the INPUT or OUTPUT jacks when using the mic. 10. Speaker 11. Guide Indicators 12. Display ■ Display * Tuner Screen (fig. 2) 1. Guide Indicators: These light to show how close you are to the target pitch. When “ b ” lights: pitch is flat (low). When “ ¡ft ” lights: pitch is sharp (high). When “ p ” and “ ff ” light: in tune (±3 cents). 2.Tuning Mode Indicator: There are three tuning modes. CHROMATIC: Allows tuning any of the twelve pitches in the chromatic scale. GUITAR: Allows tuning by guitar string number. BASS: Allows tuning by bass guitar string number. 3. Flat Tuning Indicator: This lowers the actual pitch of all notes below the regular tuning (from one to five semitones, or two and a half steps), and can be accomplished simply without changing the regular display. The flat (" ^ ") indicator will vary from " ^ " (one semitone down) to " ^ " and so on to " VbVVV " (5 s€ nr or do ¿v W h a' m a! ly flash. 4.Note Name/String Number Indicator: In CHROMATIC mode, this indicates the "note name" and "octave"; in GUITAR/BASS mode, it indicates the "string number" and "note name." 5. Meter: This shows the difference in pitch from the indicated note name or string number. 6.Accu-Pitch On/Off Indicator: The Accu-Pitch function plays a beeping sound when the pitch stabilizes within a range of three cents above or below the correct pitch. The beeping sound that tells you that a string is precisely in tune will have the pitch of a note from C5 to B5, depending on the string being tuned. You can switch the AccuPitch function on (displayed) or off (not displayed). Holding down [TUNER] while turning on the power sets the TU-80 to the opposite mode from the one currently active. 7. Reference Pitch Indicator: The frequency of the A4 pitch (the middle A on a piano keyboard) that is used in tuning for performances is called the "reference pitch.” You can adjust the reference pitch to any value from A=435 Hz to A=446 Hz. * Metronome Screen (fig. 3) 1.Guide Indicators: Flashes in time with the metronome tempo. The "|? " for the selected beat lights up on the down beats; the " ft " lights up on the off beats. 2. Rhythm Style Indicator: Select one of the following rhythm styles (the way the metronome sounds) from 0 to 7. 0: J (Quarter note), 1: 7 (Eighth rest and eighth note), 2: (Eighth note), 3: JS (Triple), 4: (Triple with center rest), 5: im (Sixteenth note) ^(Clave-based pattern (3-2)), 7: ^¡_ (Clave-Based Pattern (2-3)) 3. Beat Indicator: This indicates the beat setting when J is equivalent to one beat. The first beat in the setting is played as the down beat. This can be set within a range from 0 to 9. * When the beat is set to "0,” a fixed, steady sound is played. * When the rhythm style is set to "6” or "7” (when set to claves), this sets the number of times the basic pattern is repeated. 4. Needle: Moves in time with the tempo. 5.Tempo Indicator: This can be set within a range from J =30 to J =250. ■ Using the Tuner 1. Connect the instrument to be tuned to the INPUT jack. The built-in mic is used for tuning acoustic instruments. When using the mic, make sure that nothing is connected to the INPUT or OUTPUT jacks, and place the TU-80 near the instrument. * To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections. 2. Press the [POWER] to switch the power on. 3. Press the [TUNER] to swtich the tuner mode. 4. Use the [SELECT] and the VALUE [ ^ ] or [ A ] to select the tuning mode (CHROMATIC, GUITAR or BASS). In necessary, use [SELECT] and VALUE [ ^ ] or [ A ] to set the flat tuning and reference pitch. 5. Play a single note on the instrument. The note name/string number for the note that is playing appears in the display. The meter and Tuning Guide show how far the note is from the correct pitch. 6. Tune the instrument. With the intended note name/string number appearing in the display, tune the instrument so that both "(j " and " ft " of the Tuning Guide are lit, and the meter needle point...
