When TL InTune detects a signal, the meter lights up and displays the relative pitch of the incoming signal. With stringed instruments, this will vary during the attack and decay of the note.
In Automatic mode, TL InTune estimates the note to which you are trying to tune. If the correct note is not lit in automatic mode, click on the note to which you are trying to tune for greater accuracy. This will lock TL InTune to the specified note.
The meter will display the frequency of the note detected, and the accuracy is displayed on a scale of plus/minus 50 cents. In addition, the information display will display the note and the number of cents from perfect tuning.
When loading factory presets, stringed instruments are laid out from the highest numbered string (usually the lowest tone) to the highest, from left to right. For example, a six string guitar in standard tuning is shown as E2, A2, D3, G3, B3, E4, which are the notes and octaves for the sixth string through to the first string respectively.
For best tuning results with guitars, do the following:
|
Use headphones, as loud monitors can modulate the guitar string.
|
|
|
Switch your guitar to its rhythm (neck) pickup, if it has one.
|
|
|
Roll your guitar’s tone knobs all the way off to remove all the highs.
|
|
|
Pluck the open string right over the twelfth fret, not over the pickup.

To produce convenient test tones, select the appropriate preset from the Librarian menu and select an appropriate test tone from the Test Tone menu. Click on the desired Note button to produce the appropriate test tone. Test tones can be routed to headphones as required for musicians during session.
