VU METER
Level Meter ON/OFF
When strings are played, the display shows 6 small VU-Meters
for six strings. The normal display appears again when the decay
reaches -40dB. This function can be suppressed by turning the
VU-Meter OFF (key).
TUNE BASE
Tune Base -99...+99
Your AXON generates MIDI sounds relating to a tune base of
440 Hz plus a deviation which is set by this parameter. If your
musicians play instruments which can only be tuned with great
effort (for example a piano), it is better, you fit your AXON to
this situation. We recommend the following procedures if the
tune base deviates from 440 Hz: You tune first the open A string
carefully by ear on the basis of the instrument (for example a
piano). Then, press the OK button. At the display, the following
text appears: "PICK THE OPEN A STRING". While playing
now the open A string, your AXON analyses the coming
vibration and sets itself the Tune Base Parameter at the correct
value. Naturally, you can change the value also with the +-
buttons, if you know exactly the value. Then you tune the
remaining strings of your guitar with the embedded tuning aid of
your AXON. If you play alone, you should set the tune base on
the value 0.
TUNING AID
How to call up the tuning aid
It is important that your guitar is tuned within a certain pitch
tolerance, so that the AXON can properly interpret MIDI pitch
values. Press OK. You will see a display similar to a chromatic
guitar tuner. Tune each string so that the pointer is above the
middle arrow. The left arrow of the tuning scale marks a
deviation of -45 cent (0,45 of a semitone), the right arrow
de45 cents from the current tune base. If the Tune Base
Parameter is on 0, the middle arrow corresponds to a tuning
calibration of 440 Hz. If the Tune Base Parameter is set for +50
for example, the middle arrow correspond to a pitch that is a
quarter step higher than 440 Hz. Note: Tuning aid is a feature
that will allow to tune your guitar to the AXON quickly and
simply, whereas Tune Base allows you to tune the AXON to
your guitar.
