Optimizing The Usb; The Chromatic Tuner - Tascam US-122 Owner's Manual

Optimizing the USB

There is another option available which
allows you to disable the audio, and only
use the MIDI facilities of the US-122.
This is useful if you have a high volume

The Chromatic Tuner

Open the US-122's control panel and
select the Tuner tab.
In the Input section, select the US-122
input channel that you want to tune (L or
R).
Play a note and adjust the level for that
input until the signal is strong, but not
clipping.
The Level meter on the screen should dis-
play bright green segments without
lighting the top red segment.
If desired, you can change the Tuning
Standard in the Reference section. Nor-
mally, the Tuning Standard is set to
5 – The US-122 Control Panel
of MIDI data to be transmitted through
the interface and the timing is critical.
440 Hz for a middle "A" note, but you
can use the up/down arrows to change it
to a number between 430 and 450 Hz.
As you play, the detected note will be
displayed below the Tuning lights ( A# or
E
, for example). If the note is sharp, the
Sharp arrow and a Tuning light to the
right of 0 are bright red; if the note is
flat, the Flat arrow and a Tuning light to
the left of 0 are bright red.
The numbers below the tuning lights
indicate how far out of tune the note is,
in cents (100 cents is one semitone).
When the note is in tune, the center '0'
light and both the Flat and Sharp arrows
are bright green.
NOTE
The chromatic tuner consumes some CPU
bandwidth in your system. Therefore,
when you finish using the tuner, we recom-
mend that you either select another con-
trol panel tab or close the control panel.
