TRANSPOSE/REF  [TAP]

  button.

Tuner  mode:  A 

short 

tap  on  this  button  lets  you  use  the  wheel  for  transposition  (chapter  4.3).

Keeping  the  button  pressed 

longer 

lets  you  calibrate  the  standard  “A”  pitch  (chapter  4.2.1).

Metronome  mode:  The  BTR2000  can  recognize  and  save  a  tempo  that  is  entered  by  pressing

the 

[TAP]

  button  at  least  4  times  in  rhythm  (chapter  5.2).

The 

wheel

 is used to change the parameters of the various functions. For example, it is used to

set the BPM of the metronome or the frequency of standard “A.” A flashing light indicates which

function  can  be  set  using  this  control.

 

Fig.  2.2:  Control  elements  on  the  right  side  of  the  BTR2000

LED  bar

Tuner  mode:  The  LED  bar  indicates  how  far  the  note  played  deviates  from  the  ideal  during

instrument tuning (chapter 4.4). The scale of the display can be toggled between ±50 cents and

±10 cents.

Metronome  mode:  The  graphical  metronome  display  uses  the  LED  bar  (chapter  5.3).

DISPLAY

Various  values

–

tuner  mode,  pitch,  BPM

–

are  shown  in  this  display.

MUTE/LIGHT

  button

The  BTR2000  comes  with  a  rack  light.  It  is  switched  on  and  off  with  a 

long 

tap  on  the  MUTE/

LIGHT  button.

Tuner  mode:  Pressing  the  MUTE/LIGHT  button 

briefly 

mutes  the 

entire

  MAIN  output.

Metronome  mode:  Unlike  in  tuner  mode, 

briefly 

pressing  the  MUTE/LIGHT  button 

only

  mutes

the  metronome  click  and 

not

  the  entire  MAIN  output;  the  instrument  remains  audible.

INPUT  SELECT

  button

Tuner  mode:  Depending  on  your  application,  you  must  use  and/or  select  different  inputs  on  the

BTR2000 (chapter 3). You can toggle between the two channels by pressing the INPUT SELECT

button.

Metronome  mode:  Pressing  this  button  starts  or  stops  the  metronome  (acoustic  and  optical

indicator).

SOUND/METRONOME

  button

To  switch  between  tuner  and  metronome  mode  you  must  press 

and  hold

  the  SOUND/

METRONOME  button.

Tuner  mode: 

Briefly 

pressing  this  button  switches  the  reference  tone  on  or  off  (chapter  4.4.3).

The  volume  of  the  reference  tone  can  be  set  with  the  wheel.

Metronome  mode:  When  the  SOUND/METRONOME  button  is  pressed 

briefly

,  you  can  adjust

the  volume  of  the  metronome  click  using  the  wheel  (chapter  5.3).

The 

POWER

  button  switches  on  the  BTR2000.

To disconnect the power from the unit, unplug the power cord. When you start up the unit, ensure

that  the  plug  is  easily  accessible.  If  the  unit  is  mounted  in  a  rack,  please  ensure  easy  power

disconnection  with  a  plug  or  all-pole  switch.

+

The power button does not completely disconnect the power from the unit. Therefore the

cable should be unplugged from the outlet if the unit will not be in use for a longer period

of time.
