8 – Using the Tuner
The MP-VT1 has a built-in tuner. There are Chromatic
tuner and Oscillator modes that can output any pitch
between C4 and B6. To use the tuner functions, press
the MENU key to open the MENU screen, and select and
open the TUNER item.
MODE Select from the following tuner modes.
CHROMA Chromatic tuning mode
OSC. Oscillator mode
CALIB
You can adjust the frequency of A between 435 and 445
Hz. The value of this setting also appears at the bottom
right of the screen. This setting affects all tuner modes.
The following sections explain how to use each of the
three tuner modes.
Chromatic tuner mode
This is the default mode.
1 With the microphone connected to the MIC IN
jack, sing or play the instrument that you want to
tune.
The pitch closest to the frequency of the played
note appears at the top of the meter.
2 Tune the instrument approximately until the
desired pitch name is shown on the screen.
3 When the center of the meter lights, the source
instrument is in tune.
A bar appears on the left side of the meter if the pitch is
too low, and on the right side if the pitch is too high. The
longer the bar is, the more out of tune the instrument is.
Oscillator mode (OSC.)
Use the built-in oscillator to output a sine wave through
the /LINE OUT jack. You can set this wave to any note
in a 3-octave range between C4 and B6.
NOTE
Use this to set the pitch of the note to be output between
C4 and B6.
OUT
Use this to turn the oscillator output ON and OFF. When
ON, the onscreen tuning fork provides visual feedback.
LEVEL
Use this to set the output level (0–100) of the oscillator.
