Chapter 7 Convenient Functions and System Settings
Tuning the Guitar
When the Tuner is turned on, sounds input to the GS-10 are
output directly as is (bypassed), and the tuner is activated.
Under these conditions you can then tune your guitar.

About the Display During Tuning
With the GS-10’s internal tuner, the note name is indicated in
the upper row of the display and the Tuning Guide is shown
in the lower row, indicating the difference between the input
sound and the sound in the display.

When the difference from the correct pitch falls within 50
cents, the Tuning Guide then indicates the size of that
difference. As you watch the Tuning Guide, tune the guitar
so that the “■” appears in the center.

How to Tune
1. Play a single open note on the string being tuned.
The name of the note closest to the pitch of the string that
was played appears in the display.
* Only play a single note on the one string being tuned.
2. Tune the string until the string name appears in the
display.
3. As you watch the Tuning Guide, adjust the guitar’s
tuning until “■” appears in the center.
4. Repeat Steps 1–3 until all of the strings are tuned.
* When tuning guitars equipped with a tremolo bar, when one
string is tuned, the others may end up being out of tune. In
this case, tune to the pitch indicated by the initial note name,
then tune the other strings again, repeatedly fine-tuning each
string.
Changing the Tuner Settings
You can change the following tuner-related settings.
Changing the Reference Pitch (435–445 Hz)
fig.07-040d
The frequency of A4 (the middle A on a piano keyboard)
played by an instrument (such as a piano) that provides the
pitch to which the other instruments refer in tuning before a
performance begins is called the reference pitch. You can set
the reference pitch on the GS-10 from 435 to 445 Hz.
* This is set to 440 Hz when shipped from the factory.
