1 Start-up of the tuning device
1.1 Power supply
The Tuning Set CTS-32-L is equipped with 4 chargeable NiMH battery (1.2 Volt > 2000 mAh). The
operating period with one battery charge lasts approx. 10 hours. Once the batteries are low, the
stroke "LOW BAT" appears in the LC-display. In order to avoid a deep discharging of the chargea-
ble battery, the device automatically shuts off. The battery is recharged with the help of the sup-
plied plug-in transformer. The battery is fully replenished after approx. 14 hours. During the charg-
ing period, the small lamp for charge control is illuminated. The instrument can be operated without
risk during the recharging process.
Should the operating period with one battery charge decrease at some point to much less than 8
operating hours, this may occur for the following reasons.
1. The battery is defect. Measure to be taken: Install new battery. You can buy NiMH batteries at
your local radio or computer shop.
2. The charger is defect. Measure to be taken: Replace the charger.
3. The Tuning Set is defect. Measure to be taken: Charger and tuning set should be sent in for
maintenance.
1.2 Replacing the battery
1.3 The recording...
... occurs by means of a built-in condenser microphone on the right side of the instrument. For
measurements for which the volume of the tone of the instrument plays a role, it is recommended
to use a special microphone for measurements. The microphone plug (3.5mm jack) can be
plugged into the jack which is also found on the right-hand side of the instrument.
1.3.1 Auxiliary power for the microphone
The external condenser microphones MIKE-R and MIKE-E requires an auxiliary power. This re-
quires a jumper setting in the device according to the following figure.
1. Open both closures on
the underside
Replace batteries and pay attention to the correct polari-
ty. Please use only rechargeable NiMh batteries.
Non-Rechargeable Batteries are leaking when the AC
adapter is plugged in. The acid will destroy the device.
.

2 Operation of the device
The device is started up through the shift switch on the right-hand side. For approx. 1 second, the
program version appears in the display, followed by the below image:
The inscription of the buttons on the front panel is designated to the actual tuning of instrument
and is not immediately related to the operation process. At this point, the operating system is in the
state of the instrument selection. The signs: „ “ in the display symbolize that it is now possible to
make changes with the underlying pair of buttons. With the button pair “Actual” one can select a
tuning program for a particular music instrument. The program then automatically effects all appli-
cation settings that are essential to your tuning task.
In order to become familiar with the tuning device, you may test the button functions without any
risk. Misoperation can do no actual harm to the unit. The device can be reset to the state of deliv-
ery (see chapter 3.2).
Now please refer to the supplied “Operating scheme for CTS 32-C”. You may see this operating
scheme as a type of “road map”. You are currently situated right after “instrument selection”, at the
point where the slanted arrow is shown. In the following operating examples, do not attempt to try
to learn the button sequences by heart, but simply follow the individual steps of the operating
scheme. This will allow you to recognize the logic behind the operation of the Tuning Set CTS-32-
L.
If you have not yet pressed the button “Actual”, the instrument program STANDARD______[0] is
still selected.
From this position you can directly
access the tuning program by press-
ing “Enter”. The following indicator
appears:
After pressing the „Escape“ button the
following indicator appears:
With „Escape“ you return to the instrument selection mode.
With „Enter“ the tuning program is reactivated.

For all other instrument programs (except „STANDARD____[0]“) the tuning program cannot be
accessed directly from the instrument selection mode. For these programs several functions must
first be adjusted. The operating details for this will follow in the chapter 2.2
2.1 The tuning program
... serves for the actual tuning of the music instrument previously selected in the instrument selec-
tion. The indicator for this is set up as follows:
The individual elements of the indicator are described below.
2.1.1 Bar display
The arrow points to the right if the tone played is too high and to the left if it is too low.
The resolution of the bar display can be adjusted as described in chapter 2.1.6.8 .
A level indication of partial tones in this field is possible too. (see chapter 2.1.6.6).
2.1.2 Strobo display
2.1.3 Numerical display for pitch
In this display, the pitch or target frequency of the note which is played is constantly shown.

dl: pipe length correction value (mm)
h/16 16th part of a semitone step
2.1.4 Tone adjustment
With the above button pair, the tone that you in-
tend to tune is adjusted.
By shortly pressing the upper button, you progress upwards in steps of one semitone. With the
lower button you move to a lower level. When the button is kept pressed, the function repeats itself
accordingly until the button is released. This is equally valid for all other buttons. Furthermore, if
you keep the “Shift” button pressed while activating “Note”, the program moves on in steps of one
octave. If both buttons are activated at the same time, the switching to another note occurs auto-
matically from this point on. The name of the note then appears in brackets in the display.
2.1.5 Special keys
1. The selection of a partial tone (normal case). For particularly low tones or tones with a weak
fundamental wave it may be useful to do the tuning with a higher partial tone (See chapter
4.7)
2. If you keep the “Shift” button pressed while activating "Special keys, the actual note adjust-
ment will be changed by a predefined number of semitone steps. (See chapter 2.3.3.9)
3. Additionally, this button pair can be used for the tone adjustment within pre-defined tone
sequensces. Further details are found in chapter 2.3.3.5 and 2.3.7.
2.1.6 The functions (settings) of tuning program
By keeping the Shift button pressed, the changes in numerical values occur in bigger steps. The
following chapters will describe the different settings.

With the button pair “value” you
adjust the value according to the
setting.
With this button pair you can operate the following func-
tions:

2.1.6.1 PITCH (concert pitch)
The concert pitch is the principal reference tone for all other tones of a particular tuning task. It is
linked to the tone a’ and is adjustable from 220 to 880 Hz in steps of 0.01Hz. If both Value buttons
are pressed simultaneously, the concert pitch is automatically adjusted to the tone played at that
moment.
2.1.6.2 CENTS (cent mode)
The target frequency of the tuning device can be transformed by +- 150 cent in steps of 0.1 cent. If
both Value buttons are pressed, the cent mode is automatically adjusted to the tone played at that
moment. The cent mode is automatically changed by several of the instrument programs. More
details on this subject are found in chapter: 2.2.
2.1.6.3 BEAT (beats)
The beats to the actual target frequency can be selected through this function. Adjustable +- 100.0
Hz in steps of 0.1 Hz.
2.1.6.4 INTVL (Interval)
The target frequency can be shifted by one purely tuned interval. Modes: SECOND, THIRD,
FIFTH, SEPTIM ...
2.1.6.5 h/16 (16th semitonestep)
The target frequency can be changed by 16th part of a semitone. (+/-32 16th semitones)
2.1.6.6 BARGR (mode of bar display)
Here you will control the mode of the bar display (additional see chapter 2.3.3.8).:
Level: Indication of frequency deviation and partial tone level.
Full: Indication of frequency deviation.
Sen: Indication of frequency deviation,
degree centigrade and thermosensor cents (only if thermosensor connected)
2.1.6.7 AMPL (Amplification)
The amplification of the signal coming from the microphone can be adjusted by this function. Ad-
justable from 1 to 8. If both “Value” buttons are pressed simultaneously, the amplification is auto-
matically adapted to the tone played at that moment. Exception: Several of the instrument pro-
grams change the amplification automatically depending on the height of the tone.
2.1.6.8 RESOL (resolution)
The resolution of the “bar display” for frequency deviations can be adjusted through this setting.
A setting of 10 means a full scale of 10 Cent.
A setting of 200 means a full scale of 200 Cent.
Adjustable 10…200 Cent.
2.1.6.9 GATE (gate time)
Small value: The display reacts very rapidly, whereby the spreading of the measurement values
are relatively large-scale.
High value: The display reactions become slower, the spreading of the measurement values is
accordingly smaller.
Adjustable 50..1000 milliseconds

2.1.7 How to save the settings
If you leave the tuning program with "Escape" the following settings will be saved and assigned to
the active instrument program:
Mode of the numerical display,
Concert pitch (pitch),
Mode of bar display (bargr),
Amplification (ampl),
Resolution of bar display (resol),
Torzeit (gate).
2.1.8 The audible tone
How to adjust the volume:
Keep the “Shift” button pressed and continue tapping “Escape" until you have the desired
volume.
By pressing the "Enter" button you can switch the sound on or off.
2.2 The instrument programs
Each music instrument sets its specific requirements regarding the functions of a tuning device.
With the aim of getting optimum usage from the Tuning Set CTS-32-C for all instruments, a mem-
ory for 99 instrument programs was installed in the unit. These tuning programs automatically ac-
complish an extensive amount of adjustments of the tuning device for you. For all current instru-
ment types, instrument programs are already installed in the Tuning Set CTS-32-C as supplied.
With the help of the mentioned instrument programs, the complete tuning scope of an already
tuned instrument, can be recorded and registered tone by tone, precise to the 1/10th of a cent.
Any temperament can be reproduced by this method.
When tuning instruments with thick strings such as pianos and grand piano, stretching the tuning
becomes necessary. This implies that different from the standard tuning mode, the high tones
must be tuned higher and the low tones accordingly lower. We will discuss this further in Part 4.5
of the Operating Instructions. For users who want to deal with intense piano tunings, we recom-
mend the chapters 2.3.5 and 2.3.6. “Pianyzer” and “Piano Editor”.
The instrument program for pianos ensures that the Tuning Set CTS-32-C is adjusted in a way
that, based on stretching diagrams (tone stretching) which are incorporated in the system, it is ca-
pable of automatically considering and registering these deviations.
For these tone stretching tasks, each of the 99 instrument programs possesses a memory space
for each tone capable of registering a deviation of up to ±150,0 cent per tone.
A total of three piano instrument programs with a variety of tone stretchings are installed in the unit
as supplied. You may find the diagrams on the appendix of the operating Instructions.
Especially for the low tones of the piano it no longer makes sense to use the fundamental wave for
the measurements. Here the measuring takes place through a higher partial tone (harmonic wave).
For the selection of the partial tone, each of the 99 instrument programs contains a memory space
in which 1 of 16 tones are chosen as basis for the measurement for each note. The Tuning Set
CTS-32-C automatically switches to the pre-selected partial tone mode.
For some instruments - as for example pianos – it is of advantage to adapt the gain of the micro-
phone amplifier to the loudness of the instrument. This gain function can be adjusted in 8 steps. All
99 instrument programs possess a memory cell for microphone amplification for each note. When
the tone played is changed, the Tuning Set CTS-32-C automatically switches to the predefined
gain.

2.2.1 Using the installed instrument programs
Whenever the unit is switched on, it
is initially in the instrument selection
mode. From there one can select
one of the instrument programs with
the help of the “Actual” button.
2.2.1.1 Piano
The selection of the optimal stretching depends on various parameters of the instrument to be
tuned. The individual preferences of the musician also play a vital role.
The three built-in stretchings found in the system are the result of trials, during which various pi-
anos were tuned by ear, and subsequently measured. The stretching most suited to match your
particular requirements must be tried out by you first. For your first attempts, we recommend that
you try the stretching 3. For this please apply the following:
Select the instrument program "PIANO_SRETCH_03" with “Actual” button and confirm with “En-
ter”. Indication:
Press “Enter” once more and the unit will switch to the desired tuning program.
The display now shows the concert pitch in brackets. If you were now to play the note ‘a’, the pro-
gram’s concert pitch is automatically adjusted to the note played. If you chose to measure the con-
cert pitch very precisely, you can bring the strobo display to a halt by repeatedly pressing the
“Value” button. The concert pitch now can be read and thereafter adjusted. When applying this
function, the current concert pitch should be not more than 10 Hz higher than the previously se-
lected one, in order to avoid warping the instrument or tearing strings during the tuning task.
You may now begin with the actual tuning by starting with the tone a–1 and aligning all 3 strings of
the chorus. Next follows g#–1, g1, f#–1, etc.
The deviation from the standard tuning caused by tone stretching is shown in cent above the
„Value“-button.
For the two lowest octaves, the partial tone mode changes to the second or the fourth partial tone.
For this reason, it is important that the tuning set always has the correct octave setting. The best
way to avoid inaccurate settings is to progress in steps of semitones while tuning the instrument.
After finishing the tuning of the bass, the discant is tuned by starting with b-1.
2.2.1.2 Organ equal temperament (ORGAN_EQUAL_TEMP)
The selection of a historical temperament, before entering into the tuning program is omitted here.
The settings of cents, partial note and microphone amplification will be preserved while changing
the note.
The thermosensor reference is fixed to 20°centigrade, the cent rate is fixed to 3.2 Cent per degree
centigrade. (Thermosensor reference and cent rate see chapter 2.3.3.6 and 2.3.3.7. The pipe
length reference value is set to 391.0 mm (see chapter 2.3.3.10 and 4.6)

First it is useful to define the current
concert pitch of the instrument. For this purpose shortly press both “Value” buttons simultaneously.

2.2.1.3 Organ historical (ORGAN_HISTORICAL)
The desired historical temperament (see chapter 4.4), the <cent-reference> and the <transposer>
can be adjusted before entering the tuning program.
The cent adjustment will be determined by the selected historical temperament. All other settings
are the same as "organ equal temperament".
2.2.1.4 Harpsichord
The desired historical temperament (see chapter 4.4), the <cent-reference> and the <transposer>
can be adjusted before entering the tuning program.
The cent adjustment will be determined by the selected historical temperament. In the lowest oc-
tave, the tuning is done on the basis of the fourth partial tone and in the second lowest octave,
through the second partial tone. Here, tone stretching was not preprogrammed, as the
inharmonicity is comparably unnoticeable due to the relatively thin, long strings of the instrument.
The adjustment of the gain of the microphone amplifier occurs automatically.
2.2.1.5 Harpsichord_415
The same as harpsichord, but with concert pitch 415 Hz.
2.2.1.6 Accordion
Cent adjustment, partial and microphone amplification will be controlled by memory. The program
was designed as a basis for creating your own programs, which are assigned to special instru-
ments. Further details are found in chapter 2.3.
2.2.1.7 Guitare and diatonical raw
These programs was designed as example for entering tone sequences. (see chapter 2.3.7.). The
buttons "special" are used here, to adjust the note.
2.2.1.8 Recorder
Cent adjustment, partial and microphone amplification will be controlled by key.
2.3 Creating an individual instrument program
The easiest way to create a new instrument program is to copy a similar, already existing program
and to then change and adapt it to ones own requirements.
2.3.1 Copying an existing instrument program
For this task, please select an in-
strument program as described in
chapter 2.2.1. As for example:
To obtain the copy function press the
upper “function” button until the follow-
ing command appears in the display:
By pressing “Enter” the following
indicator is shown:
With the “Actual” button pair you now
can select a free memory space, for

pressed while at the same time
pressing the upper “function”
button.
The copy is now number 22 in memory. In order to distinguish the original from the copy it is rec-
ommended to change the title, which will be described in the following chapter.
2.3.2 Changing the name of an instrument program
With the button pair „Function“ now
select the option „change name“
and then press “Enter”.
The text „PIANO_STRETCH_3_“ can now be changed according to your wishes. Thereby, the but-
tons have the following functions:
