BTU-1000 owners manual

Thank you for purchasing the BTU-1000,

a unique combination of 4 powerful musical tools:

●  Chromatic tuner: 

The tuner is suitable to tune any instrument due to it’s full flexibility. The 

extensive tuning range can detect all notes between A0 (27,5Hz) and 

C8  (4186,0Hz).  It’s  accuracy  of  +/-  1  cent  is  far  beyond  human  ear’s 

distinction. Pitch of standard note A=440 can be altered from 410Hz to 

480Hz and 4 different scales of guitar tuning are available: C, Bb, Eb 

and F. Also, flat tuning up to two notes down can be easily set.

●  Chord computer:

The chord database can be used in two modes. Mode 1 will accept a 

chord name and display the chord’s finger setting on the guitar neck and  

in up to 4 alternate positions. Mode 2 will allow you to mark the finger 

positions on the guitar neck and give you the chord name. 2640 chords 

are available!

●  Metronome:

The metronome is very flexible and the ‘louder than loud’ volume plus 

earphone  jack  will  assure  that  even  a  drummer  can  use  this  to  keep 

pace. 

●  Tone generator: 

All  tones  of  the  fourth  octave  can  be  generated.  Standard  pitch  can 

be  adjusted  from  410Hz  to  480Hz.  Very  convenient  for  certain  wind 

instruments!
