Tuner; Tuning The Pitch Of The Connected Instrument; Changing The Standard Pitch Of The Tuner Function - Yamaha GW10 Owner's Manual

The Tuner function allows you to quickly and accurately tune your guitar without
having to disconnect it from the GW10. It also temporarily cuts off the sound,
so that you can tune it silently and inconspicuously during a performance.

Tuning the Pitch of the Connected Instrument

OPERATION
1
With your toes, press down firmly on the
Foot Controller — as far as the pedal can go
— and hold it there a couple of seconds until
all the LEDs of the GW10 go out, and only
the MEMORY/TUNER indicator is lit
(indicating the current standard pitch).
Release the Foot Controller and all display
indications will go out. This indicates that
the Tuner function is now active.
If you have disabled the switching
HINT
function of the Foot Controller, you can use
the B button instead to activate the
Tuner function. Simply hold down the B
button until all the LEDs of the GW10 go out.
2
Play a single note on your instrument (an
open string, in the case of a guitar).
The note name appears in the MEMORY/
TUNER indicator. Accidentals (sharps) are
indicated by the Sharp (ª) LED. How close
the note is to being in tune is indicated by
the ON OFF GROUP / TUNER LEDs, as
shown below.

Changing the Standard Pitch of the Tuner Function

The Tuner is set to tune to a standard pitch of A
= 440 Hz. However, this can be raised to as
high as 445 Hz. The pitch setting made here is
memorized by the GW10 even when the power
is turned off.
To change the standard pitch, press the
T(YES) button.
No input signal, or
input signal is too
low to be read.
Pitch is flat.
Pitch is sharp
Note is in tune.
3
Let the note ring out consistently, and tune
the instrument so that all three indicators are
lit continuously.
4
Continue with other notes (the other strings
on your guitar) until the instrument is in
tune.
5
Return to normal operation by pressing the
B button or the M Pedal
Switch, or by pressing down fully with your
toes on the Foot Controller.
