Strobe Mode
In Strobe Mode, a single string’s pitch has two indicators:

  • Red LEDS to the left (flat) or right (sharp) of the center LED column
  • “Rotating” segments in the display.

Tune the string until the rotating segments slow down and stop, and only the center column of LEDs lights up.

  3. To decrease the reference pitch in 1 Hz steps, press the DISPLAY MODE button.
