Tuning
Tuning procedure
-
Turn the left shuttle switch upward. Each time you turn the shuttle switch, the AW-LT100M/AW-LT100T will be turned on or off.
If the power is left on for approximately 20 minutes without any user input, it will turn off automatically (Auto power-off function). -
If necessary, change the reference pitch (calibration).
-
Play a single note on your instrument.
-
The note name closest to the detected pitch appears in the note name indicator.
Check that the correct note name appears in the display, and the meter segments at the center light up. -
If you want to tune to a pure major third
or pure minor third above a certain note, adjust the pitch to the pure major or minor third marks on the meter. For example if you want to tune to a pure major third above A, make the note name indicator read C#, and tune so that the meter indicates the left . Alternatively, if you want to tune to a pure minor third above A, make the note name indicator read C, and tune so that the meter indicates the right . -
Even if the pitch is within the range of detection, it may not be possible to detect the pitch of an instrumental sound that contains large numbers of overtones or a sound that has a rapid decay.
-
The meter may respond to vibrations it picks up from the environment.
-
*Reference pitch settings (calibration) (M)**
Each time you turn the right shuttle switch upward (or downward), the reference pitch (calibration value) increases (or decreases) in 1 Hz steps. -
*Meter indication speed setting (M)**
Each time you turn the left shuttle switch downward, the meter indication speed changes. When the setting is changed, “F” (fast) or “S” (slow) appears in the reference pitch indicator.
Backlight
After turning the left shuttle switch upward to turn on the AW-LT100M/AW-
LT100T, you can change the brightness of the display by keeping the left
shuttle switch turned upward for approximately 2 seconds.
- Auto : The backlight will light brightly when sound is inputted or when a shuttle switch is operated. When there has been no sound input or shuttle switch operation for approximately three seconds after the power has been turned on, the backlight will turn off in order to prevent the battery from being depleted.
- Soft : The backlight will light at a lower level of brightness in order to prevent the battery from being depleted.
