15–Using the Tuner
The DR-1 has a built-in tuner. By using a mic to input
the sound of an instrument, you can use the tuning
meter on the display to tune that instrument
accurately. In addition, you can output a tuner sound
from the
jack to, for example, tune
/LINE OUT
multiple instruments simultaneously.
