the display. Tune your instrument to the correct pitch, so that
the desired note name appears.

If you’re using the internal mic, place your instrument as

close as possible to the mic so that extraneous sound is not

picked up while tuning.

While playing a single note on your instrument, tune the in-

5.

strument so that the center mark of the PITCH meter and the
center indicator of the tuning guide light up.
The left tuning guide indicator will light up if the pitch of your

instrument is at, and the right indicator will light up if the

pitch is sharp.

Using the tuner and metronome

simultaneously

The TM-50TR lets you use the tuner and metronome simultane­ously.
For more details on tuner and metronome operation, please refer
to the “Using the tuner” and “Using the metronome sections.”

Using the tuner and metronome simultaneously

For example, if you’re playing along with the metronome and

you notice that your instrument is not tuned correctly, you can
leave the metronome running while you tune.
Proceed as follows.

Press the METRONOME ON buon.

1.

Press the START/STOP buon to start the metronome.

2.

If necessary, specify the tempo and time signature etc.

To set the tempo: use the TEMPO ▲, ▼ buons or the TAP
TEMPO buon.

To set the time signature: use the BEAT ▲, ▼ buons.
To set the periodic metronome setting: Use the PERIODIC

(periodic metronome) buon.

When using the tuner and metronome simultaneously, you

can’t select “triplets”, “triplets without the center beat”, “qua-

druplets” or “quadruplets without the center beats” as the

time signature.

Press the TUNER ON buon to enter Meter mode.

3.

The pendulum of the metronome and the tuning meter appear
on the display. The metronome tempo is also indicated by the

blinking of the TAP TEMPO buon.

If you want to tune in Sound Out mode, you should then press

the SOUND buon. To tune in the Sound Back mode, press
the SOUND BACK buon.

Tuning in Meter mode

When you play a single note on your instrument, the display
will show the name of the note that is closest to the pitch that
you played. Tune your instrument while watching the meter
and the tuning guide.

Tuning in Sound Out mode

Tune your instrument to the pitch that you hear.

Tuning in Sound Back mode

Using the tone, tuning meter and tuning guide, adjust your

instrument.

When the tuner and metronome are being used simultane-

ously, the TONE TRAINER function of the tuner cannot be

used.

After tuning is complete, press the TUNER ON button and
