NOTES:
1) The Low Pass filter [LPF] acts as a high frequency rolloff to the signal
before it is sampled and may be added to all three algorithm choices.
2) You may program the Remote Jacks to access the Trigger and Re-Arm feature.
3) BASE KEY in the SAMPLER + PTr algorithm has no effect on triggering samples.
4) You cannot store an audio sample.
5) See APPENDIX A, for more information regarding the SAMPLER.

Type allows you to choose what instrument you are going to tune. There are two
choices, Bass and Guitar. When you choose an instrument, the Reference frequency
(Refrnc) parameter defaults to either Guitar or Bass tuning frequencies. The
strings start low and go high. The frequency A 440 is included for tuning
keyboards, or checking the intonation of your neck. When you select Refrnc to
equal Off, it allows you to access the preset and display the preset number
instead of [- - -]. The Tuner at this point is inactive, you must change the
Refrnc parameter to a string value to activate the Tuner. When you set the Refrnc
parameter to Auto, tuning is simplified even more. Auto enables the ALPHA 2.0 to
know which string you are trying to tune and automatically switch the Reference
parameter to the correct string/frequency. The Auto range has a frequency window
of 2.5 halfsteps.
The Tuner has a reference oscillator. For each frequency you tune to, a reference
tone is generated. Use the Level parameter to control the volume of the reference
tone.
Detune will let you change the reference frequency A 440 plus or minus 2 half
steps. This allows you to detune up to 50Hz. As a rule of thumb 4 cents,
displayed as [0.04] equals 1Hz. So, to detune A440 to A435 you would set the
Detune parameter to [-0.20]. To detune a full half step, set the Detune parameter
to = [1.00] (plus or minus). Level sets the signal output level of the Tuner in a
preset.
NOTES:
1) If you do not wish anyone to hear you tune up when you realize you're out of
tune, set the Tuner Level and the ANFX level of the Mix to [0%] in the preset.
2) If you want signal to pass through the tuner, set the Tuner Level and the ANFX
Level to the desired output level. The tuner is designed to respond to open
string tuning only, no harmonics. For best results, tune your guitar in the
position you will be playing in. Plucking the string at or near the 12th fret
will help the tuner lock on to the signal.
3) Accuracy of the ALPHA 2.0 Tuner is better than .5 cents!
4) 100 cents = 1 semitone = 1 halfstep.
5) Instrument level is controlled exclusively by the MIX DRY parameter.
Select preset 005 [DIG.GUITAR TUNER] for quick tuning while on stage. This preset
is set up to auto detect which string you want tuned.
