2. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTIONS

This chapter describes the different control  elements of your BTR2000. All of the buttons and connectors

are  explained  in  detail  with  useful  information  on  how  to  make  the  most  of  them.
Most of the buttons on the RACKTUNER have a dual function. The different functions on each button

are  distinguished  by  how  long  the  button  is  held  down  when  pressed.
The  RACKTUNER’s  operating  mode

—

tuner  or  metronome  mode

—

also  determines  button  function.

There  are  one  or  two  LEDs  above  each  button.  They  correspond  to  the  functions  of  the  buttons.  For

example, either the “1” or “2/MIC” light is always on above the INPUT SELECT 

  button. The “MUTE”

LED on the other hand only lights up when the MUTE button 

 is pressed to turn off the sound of the unit.

+

When you switch to metronome mode, the LEDs for the tuner mode are turned off.

button.

plugged  into  both  the  front  and  back  INPUT  1  connectors  at  the  same  time,  the  unit  only

evaluates  the  signal  of  the  instrument  plugged  into  the  front.
