. Tune the String

Tune the string while watching the display and the three

indicators above the [TUNER] button (the latter indicate

precise tuning in the TUNER mode). Tune so that the

current sting number and note name appears on the

display, and so that all three indicators above the

[TUNER] button light simultaneously.

Tuning

The G50’s built-in tuner makes it easy to precisely tune

your guitar — even in a noisy environment.

. Engage the Tuner Mode

Press the [TUNER] button. The red indicator above the

[TUNER] button will light and the current base tuning

pitch will appear on the display: normally “A 440”.

Although standard “concert pitch” is A = 440 Hz, the base

pitch can be set anywhere from 440 to 445 hertz in 1-

hertz steps at this point by using the [-1] and [+1] buttons.

 NOTES

• Tuning pitch is remained in the memory even if power is

turned off. Tuning data is transmitted via the MIDI OUT

terminal when power is turned on or the Tuning pitch is

changed.

. Play a Single String

Play the first string you want to tune. The closest note to

the current pitch of the string played will appear on the

display: “A” through “G

#

” (a “

#

” is indicated by the

small “ ” to the upper right of the note name). When the

detected pitch is close to that of the standard tuning for

the guitar string, the string number will also appear on the

left of the display: e.g. “5 A” for the 5th string on a

guitar, normally tuned to “A”.
