TRONICALTUNE is easy to use. The most com-
mon functions are: tuning a guitar to standard and
alternate tunings - takes a few button presses. The
string LEDs (from “E” for the 6th, lowest-pitched
string to “e” for the 1st, highest-pitched string)
show the system status. TronicalTune stores
standard, alternate, and custom tunings in presets.
Each preset contains a tuning. This can be a
factory default tuning, or a custom tuning you
create and store.
In addition to all of the basic functions you can
access the advanced tuning functions to increase
performance if necessary. Here’s an overview of
how to choose, access, and edit the advanced
tuning functions.
CATEGORIES:
The advanced function menu consists of six main
categories.
• After pressing the ON button three times
(don’t press too fast), press the LEFT/RIGHT buttons
to select a CATEGORY, and then press ENTER.
• Each category is associated to a color.
Examples: The YELLOW category is associated
to advanced software functions. The MAGENTA
category handles string pitch offsets.
• When choosing a category, the Menu LED
flashes in the category’s color.
FUNCTIONS.
Each category offers various functions.
• After selecting a CATEGORY, press the LEFT/RIGHT
button to select a FUNCTION within the CATEGORY,
and then press ENTER to access the function.
• When the menu LED lights up in the color of
the category, you can edit the FUNCTION with
