Creating TL InTune Tuning Presets
TL InTune lets you create customized tuning presets that display note selections for specific instruments and tunings. Once created, these tuning presets can be saved as part of a standard Pro Tools plug-in preset.
From the main TL InTune screen, click the Edit button to display the Tuner Programming screen.
When selected, Chromatic Mode overrides any custom note selections and displays a 12-note chromatic scale. The note entry fields are disabled when Chromatic Mode is selected.
When selected, Single Octave Mode disables the display of octave information with each note on the main TL InTune screen. When tuning in this mode, TL InTune ignores the octave of the note being tuned. The octave information entered in the Edit screen is used only for generating test tones.
Single Octave Mode is typically used for instruments which generate harmonics in multiple octaves, such as bass guitars. Because of the low frequency waveform generated by a bass guitar, it is easier for TL InTune to tune to a higher harmonic of the note instead.
TL InTune will display all semitones entered into note fields as sharp by default. For example, a guitar tuned to E-flat is usually represented by the following.
By default, if these notes are entered in the Edit screen, TL InTune will display these same notes in the following way.
The Display Flat Semitones option overrides the default behavior and displays semitones as flats, not sharps. It is not possible to display both sharp and flat semitones in the same tuning preset.
The twelve note entry fields allow entry of individual notes from A0 to G7. Flat semitones are entered with a “b” (for example, Ab2), and sharp semitones are entered with a hash or pound character (for example, A#2). To clear an entry, enter “– –.”
Note fields are committed by pressing Return (Macintosh) or Enter (Windows). If you do not press Return or Enter, the note field will return to the previous value entered. TL InTune will automatically justify the note buttons as needed so they fit in the correct area on the main screen.
The Note Entry fields are not available in Chromatic mode.
In the Tuner Programming screen, click the Exit button to return to the main TL InTune screen.
