Tuning Modes
While in the Tuner Mode, press the Tap Tempo button on the front panel to toggle between the
guitar and chromatic tuning modes.
In the Guitar mode, the built-in tuner acts much like a standard, auto guitar tuner. It always
searches for the standard guitar notes (EADGBE) and automatically selects the notes for you. In
other words, you don't have to select a note for your Transformer to find, it tracks the current note
automatically. The note indicated (lit up) by the Transformer is the closest standard tuning note in
relation to the current note being played. The Transformer will indicate whether the note is sharp or
flat by strobing the illuminated LEDs right or left respectively.
In the Chromatic mode, the tuner tracks all notes whether they are standard tuning or not. If you
were to play an F# on the low E string, the tuner would track that F# even though it is not a standard
open string tuning for a guitar. This is a handy feature which makes the built-in tuner functional for
open tunings as well as tuning a variety of other instruments. The display indicates sharp and flat
notes the same as it does in the Guitar mode. The main visual difference in the display occurs when
you hit a note such as the F#. The display only has provisions to indicate E,A,D,G, B and E.
Therefore, the tuner will light up both the E and A positions in order to indicate that the note is
somewhere between an E note and an A note. The Guitar mode cannot do this since it tracks the F#
note as a G note that is flat.
The Chromatic tuning mode is octave sensitive. Using the F# scenario from above, this becomes
easy to explain. If an F# is played on the D string (instead of the low E), the D and G positions
illuminate to indicate that the note is sharp for the D string. Whenever you see multiple green LED's
lit up on the footswitch while tuning, these same positions will light up on the LED rings found on the
front panel. See the Transformer Tricks page for some power user tuning suggestions!
NOTE: If you want the tuner to remember your settings, press STORE once while in Tuner Mode.
