Using The Tuner Function - Roland CUBE 20xl Owner's Manual

Using the Tuner Function

CUBE-20XL is equipped with a tuner function. In addition to manual
tuning, you can also use it as a chromatic tuner.
When tuning manually, the sound of the guitar will be output from
the speaker and from the RECORDING OUT/PHONES jack. In chromatic
tuner mode, sound will not be output from the speaker nor from the
RECORDING OUT/PHONES jack.
When tuning manually, you can press the [SELECT] switch to activate a
tuning reference tone.
Manual Tuning
Use manual tuning when the strings are substantially out of tune (such
as after changing strings).
In manual tuning mode, you can tune while listening to the sound of
your guitar through the speakers or headphones.
The volume can be adjusted with the JC CLEAN's [VOLUME] knob.
If you don't want the sound of your guitar to be output from the
speakers or headphones, set the JC CLEAN's [VOLUME] knob to 0.
1. Press the [TUNER] switch.
CUBE-20XL enters the Tuner mode and the [TUNER] switch lights up.
2. Use the Type switch to select the string that you want to
tune.
