Using The Tuner Function; Manual Tuning - Roland CUBE 60XL BASS Owner's Manual

Using the Tuner Function

CUBE-60XL BASS/CUBE-120XL BASS are equipped with a tuner
function. In addition to manual tuning, you can also use it as a
chromatic tuner.
* Use manual tuning when the strings are substantially out of tune
(such as after changing strings).
* When using the tuner function, no sound is played from the speaker,
the REC OUT/PHONES jack, or the LINE OUT jack.
* The sound input to the AUX IN jack is output.

Manual Tuning

1. Press the [TUNER] switch.
The unit enters the Tuner mode and the [TUNER] switch lights up.
2. Use the Type switch to select the string that you want to
tune.

Chromatic Tuning
If you hold down the [TUNER] switch for one second or longer, the

tuner, " which automatically determines the name of the note closest to
the one played.

note on the string that you want to tune. Tune the string until the
green indicator lights.
