Korg Rimpitch-C - Chromatic Acoustic Guitar Tuner Manual

Installing the battery

When you install or replace the battery, make sure to turn the power off after detaching the Rimpitch-C from the guitar.

When the battery begins to run low, the green LED at the center of the meter () becomes dark. Once the battery depletes further, the note name indicator LED will flash, and the LED meter will not function smoothly. Once this occurs, it's time to replace the battery as soon as possible.

1. While lightly pressing the OPEN button on the back of the Rimpitch-C, push the battery cover in direction A and push it to open it up.
   
2. Making sure to observe the correct polarity, insert the battery so that the "+" side of the battery is visible.
3. Return the battery cover to its original position.

Attaching to the instrument

Attach the Rimpitch-C to the lower side of the sound hole so that the display is easy to read when you place the guitar into playing position. The Rimpitch-C detects the pitch and tunes by picking up the vibrations of the guitar.

The Rimpitch-C can be attached to any guitar where the sound hole has a circle diameter of 100 mm +/- 3 mm.

Please carefully attach the Rimpitch-C to your instrument. Leaving the Rimpitch-C attached for a long period of time may damage or mark the instrument's surface.

Depending on various factors such as age-related change or the surface finish, there is a possibility that your instrument may be damaged by attaching this product.

Attach the Rimpitch-C to the guitar using both hands to prevent its falling into the sound hole.

Tuning

1. Press the power/CALIB button to turn on the Rimpitch-C.
   The current reference pitch will light up for several seconds in the referrence pitch indicator. To turn off the Rimpitch-C, hold down the power/CALIB button.
   If the power is left on for approximately 3 minutes without any user input, it will turn off automatically.
   
2. Play a single note on your instrument. The note name indicator will light up closest to the pitch that's detected. Tune your instrument to the correct pitch so that the desired note name lights up. To tune a semitone higher, tune your instrument so that both the note name and the sharp # symbol () on the right side lights up.
3. Once again play a single note on your instrument, and adjust the tuning so that only the center segment of the meter (indicated by ) is lit up brightly. An indicator on the right on will light up if the pitch is too high (), and an indicator on the left side will light up if the pitch is too low ().

Even if the pitch is within the range of detection, it may not be possible to detect the pitch of an instrumental sound that contains large numbers of overtones or a sound that has a rapid decay.

The meter may respond to vibrations it picks up from the environment; however, this will not affect tuning of the instrument.

Changing the reference pitch (calibration)

With the Rimpitch-C turned on, press the power/CALIB button to change the reference pitch in 1 Hz steps. 440→ (441)→442→ (443)→444→ (445)→438→ (439)→440... Settings are remembered even when the Rimpitch-C is turned off. However, settings will be initialized when you replace the battery. (Default: 440 Hz)
