Tuning instruments (Tuner)
The BR-1600CD features an integrated chromatic tuner and
this allows you to conveniently tune instruments.
Setting the reference pitch
Before you can use the tuner, you will first of all have to set
its reference pitch (or frequency).
This pitch is used to define the frequency for A4 (i.e., A above
middle C on a piano keyboard). At the time of purchase, a
frequency of 440 Hz is set for A4 in the BR-1600CD, and if this is
suitable, there will be no need to change the setting.
However, in situations where an ensemble is to be recorded,
it is often necessary to tune all instruments in the ensemble to
the instrument that is most difficult to tune (for example, the
piano), and the reference pitch of this instrument will not
necessarily be 440 Hz.
In order to accommodate this type of situation, the BR-
1600CD allows you to change the tuner’s reference pitch as
described below.
fig.53-01
1.
Press [TUNER ON/OFF]
The Tuner screen will appear.
fig.53-02d
2.
Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to modify the reference pitch.
Setting range: 435 to 445 Hz
At the time of purchase, the reference pitch will be set to 440 Hz.
3.
When you have made the required setting, press
[TUNER ON/OFF] once again or press [EXIT/NO].
The tuner will be turned off.
4.
If you wish to store the modified settings, save the
current song (p. 72).
Tuning
The following describes the tuning procedure using the
example of a guitar or bass guitar.
1.
Connect the guitar or bass to a BR-1600CD input source
and confirm that audio is being received.
See “Connecting other devices” (Basic Operation; p. 6).
2.
Press [TUNER ON/OFF]
The Tuner screen will appear.
fig.53-02d
The name of the note is displayed on the left of the
screen, and the reference pitch is displayed just above
this. Tuning guides are displayed on the left and right of
the meter showing the difference between the correct
note and the note being played.
3.
Play the string that you want to tune.
The closest note to that string’s pitch will be displayed.
4.
If the displayed note is not correct for the string being
played, you will first of all have to carry out rough
tuning to have the correct note displayed.
Correct notes for standard tuning are as follows.
1, 3

• The reference pitch setting will be saved to each
song.
• The reference pitch set for the tuner will also be used
as the reference pitch for rhythm arrangement bass
patterns (p. 163).
