How to Tune
* The standard pitch of the ME-8's tuner was set to 440 Hz (A4) when
it left the manufacturer. If you wish to tune using a different standard
pitch, change it before tuning (see the next section).
1 Select the Tuner Mode.
2 Play the string to be tuned using open, single notes.
The display shows the note name that is closest to the pitch
of the string played.
3 Tune so the display shows the note name that matches the
string.

Standard Tuning
4 Finely tune the pitch so that only the middle (green) Tuning
Guide indicator lights.
5 Repeat steps 2 — 4 to tune the other strings.
* When tuning a guitar with a tremolo arm, it may happen that tuning
one string affects the pitch of the other strings. If this happens
frequently, first adjust the pitch of each string approximately, only
until the note name matches the string, then finely tune all of them
later.
Viewing/Changing the Standard
Pitch
* The standard pitch you have set will be retained in memory even after
the unit is switched off.
1 Select the Tuner Mode, then press VALUE [9] or [©].
The current standard pitch is shown in the display.
2 Change the standard pitch.
While the standard pitch still appears in the display, press
VALUE [@][©] to adjust the pitch. The standard pitch is
variable from 435 — 445 Hz in one Hertz steps. Release
VALUE [o][©], and after a few seconds, the display is
returned to the tuning mode, where you can then tune using
the standard pitch you have just set.
