34 TASCAM DR-1
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 /LINE OUT jack to, for example, tune
multiple instruments simultaneously.

3 Use the
CALIB
item to set the frequency of A
above middle C (A4) between 435 Hz and 445 Hz.
The set value appears in the lower right part of
the screen. This setting affects both tuner modes.
Use of the two tuner modes is explained below.
This is the default mode. Use the tuning meter on the
DR-1’s screen to tune your instrument.
The tuning meter and input signal pitch appear on the
screen. (“

1 Set the input source that you are using. (See
“Selecting the input source” on page 20.)
2 Input the sound of the instrument you are tuning
through the selected microphone or line input.
The name of the closest pitch appears in the upper
part of the meter.
3 Tune the instrument until the desired pitch is
shown and the center of the meter is highlighted.
A bar appears to the left if the tuning is too low
and a bar appears to the right if it is too high.
The longer the bar is the more out of tune the
instrument is.
The built-in oscillator can output a sine wave of a
pitch in the three octaves between C4 and B6 through
the /LINE OUT jacks. In addition to the
CALIB
item
described above, the oscillator mode has the following
three setting items.
NOTE
Set the output pitch (C4–B6).
OUT
Set whether or not the oscillator sound is output (ON
or OFF). When ON, an image of a vibrating pitchfork
as shown to the left appears on the screen.
If you switch from chromatic mode to oscillator mode,
the
OUT
item turns ON automatically. If you switch
from oscillator mode to chromatic mode, the
OUT
item turns OFF automatically.
LEVEL
Set the level of the output sound between 0 and 10.
