Single String Up Mode
This mode is for replacing only one or two strings (e.g., replacing a broken string).
Caution: Unlike String Up Mode, Single String Up Mode does not target any pitch but exists
simply to put tension on the string. Be careful not to press the MCK too many times in Step (5)
below, or the string could snap from over-tightening. Three presses should put enough
tension on the new string for it to tune in standard tuning operations.
1. After installing a string as described previously, pull out the MCK and turn it counter-clockwise
until the b# symbol lights blue. The Display Matrix will also shine blue, because Dark Fire is in
the Blue Bank.
2. Turn the MCK to the Revolving Arrow position, and press the Display Matrix until a green
"arrow up" symbol shows in the center of the Display Matrix.
3. Stop pressing on the display; the Revolving Arrow LED will shine blue and all string LEDs will
shine green.
4. Turn the MCK to the string LED that corresponds to the string you are replacing. The LED you
select will shine red.
5. Press the MCK's Display Matrix momentarily, a few times in succession, and the
corresponding Powerhead will start to turn and place tension on that string. Once there is
enough tension on the string for it to have a pitch, push the MCK all the way in.
String Down Mode
When changing an entire set of strings, String Down Mode causes all Powerheads to de-tension all
strings at the same time so that you can remove them all.
1. Pull out the MCK and turn it counter-clockwise until the b# symbol lights blue. The Display
Matrix will also shine blue, because Dark Fire is in the Blue Bank.
2. Press the MCK momentarily twice, and the Matrix Display will shine red. Now you are in the
Red Bank.
3. Turn the MCK to the Revolving Arrow position.
4. Press on the MCK's Display Matrix, and hold it in until the string LEDs start to flash and the
Powerheads start to unwind. All 6 Powerheads will unwind their strings.
5. When the Powerheads stop turning, release the locking nuts on the tuner posts and you can
easily remove all strings.
