Using The Tuner - Roland VG-99 Workshop Manual

About the Workshop Booklets
Roland's VG-99 V-Guitar System is, simply put, the most powerful guitar
processor ever made. It's the third and latest generation V-Guitar system
from Roland, and it offers an astounding set of creative sound-making tools
for the guitarist. Featuring dual COSM guitar and amp modeling paths, two
independent multi-effects processors, massive realtime control options,
pitch-to-MIDI conversion, and USB, the VG-99 is a guitarist's dream machine,
capable of producing sounds that are limited only by your imagination.
Each VG-99 Workshop booklet focuses on one VG-99 topic, and is intended
as a companion to the VG-99 Owner's Manual.
About This Booklet

tuner is extremely easy to use, and it can be easily accessed whenever you

an external switch.

Using the Tuner

Turning the Tuner On and Off
To turn on the built-in tuner, press the TUNER button on the
VG-99's front panel. To turn the tuner off, press TUNER again.
You can access the tuner from any of the VG-99's screens. Each press of the
TUNER button toggles between the TUNER screen and the previous screen.
Tuner Modes
When the TUNER screen is displayed, you can use the PAGE
buttons to choose between two different tuner display
modes. The main difference in the modes is the way in
which pitches are displayed. Use whichever mode works best for you.
The tuner behaves in slightly different ways depending on the "GK
Connect" setting, which you adjust when setting up the VG-99 to use
a divided pickup or normal guitar pickups. To learn more about GK
Connect and using different pickups, see the VG-99 Workshop booklet
Pickup Settings.
Multi Mode
On Page 1, the tuner display is in Multi mode. In this mode, each individual
string that's sensed by a divided pickup installed on your guitar is shown
on its own individual line in the display. This allows you to see and tune the
pitches of multiple strings that are played simultaneously.
Here, the pitches of Strings 2, 3, and 5 are displayed simultaneously.
