THE TUNER

The Tuner in Play Mode

In Play Mode, two arrows indicate whether the played
note is in tune or not. When both arrows/triangles are lit,
the string is in tune. When only the arrow to the right is
lit, the string is pitched a bit too high. When only the
arrow to the left is lit, the string is pitched a bit too low.
The Tuner in Tuner Mode
In Tuner Mode, the entire display is used to indicate
pitch.
To activate Tuner Mode
• Press and hold EDIT for about two seconds to
activate Tuner Mode.
• Press EDIT once more to exit.
In Tuner Mode, the current pitch will be indicated in three
ways:
– As the nearest note (name).
– Via a "strobe"or "bar" at the bottom of the display.
– Via two "arrows" facing each other.
When both arrows are lit and the strobe is steady, the
played note is in pitch.

Output
Range: On/Off
You may wish to mute the G-System's outputs in Tuner
Mode – especially if you do not use an expression pedal
for volume control. In this case, set Output to off.
Display
The G-System's Tuner has two different indication
modes. These comprise the indication at the bottom of
the big red Tuner and the preset number display.
Bar
A bar appears at the bottom of the tuner display. When
the bar is visible, the note played is not in tune. The
longer the bar, the more out of tune the note.
Strobe
In Strobe Mode, a pattern of two dots will move either
towards the left or towards the right, depending on
whether the played note is too high or too low. Tune the
string until the pattern of dots stays in one position.
Tuner Reference

This parameter sets the reference frequency for the
Tuner. The default setting is 440Hz.
