Tuner and Preset Name Display
The controller can display the controlled device tuner. You can easily tune your guitar on stage during your
performance. To activate the tuner, press and hold the footswitch of the currently active preset. To exit
tuner mode press and hold the same footswitch again. Currently, tuners of the TC Electronic units (G-
Major, G-Force), Fractal Audio Systems (Axe-Fx Standard/Ultra, Axe-Fx II) and Kemper Profiler Amplifier are
supported. When you activate the tuner the controller screen will look like this (see Fig. 28).
Fig. 28
This is the default setting, when no signal at the processor input. When there is signal at the processor
input the letter will change depending on the input signal (just like the built-in processor tuner itself).
For some devices, like AxeFx, to activate tuner, a Control Change message must be sent. To set the CC
number enter Setup mode and navigate to Exp&Tap&Tuner, then to Send Tuner CC(see Fig. 29).
Fig. 29
In the lower line specify CC number to activate/deactivate tuner mode, or set NO. In this case no CC
message will be sent. When tuner mode is activated the controller sends 0x5F, to deactivate - 0x00.
TB-12(TB-5) can show preset names on its screen if the controller device is capable of sending them via
MIDI OUT. Enter System Setup and navigate to Show pr. name to specify if preset name must be shown in
Performance mode.

Show BNK and PR – the controller shows both preset and bank name in turns (each name is displayed for
approximately 3 seconds). (see Fig. 30)
