Auto mode
: When a note is played, the tuner automatically identifies
it, and indicates the note closest to it. It also indicates the
discrepancy between the input note and the note shown
on the display by the position of the LED lamp that lights
up and the cent indication on the display.
Manual mode
: Set the note you wish to tune, and then, play a note. The
tuner indicates the discrepancy between the input note
and the note you have set by the position of the LED lamp
that lights up and the cent indication on the display. If the
discrepancy between the notes is more than 50 cents, the
display shows “Hi” or “Lo”.
Sound mode
: The tuner gives out the note you have set. Tune the
instrument on the basis of the reference note.

How to change the reference pitch (frequency of A4):
1. Press the Pitch button
. The pitch indication
starts flashing.
2. With each press of the Pitch button

Precautions on tuning
1. STMX1 may pick up noise from the surrounding environment or the hum
noise generated by electric appliances, and shows indications as if a note
is played. This is not a malfunction, and STMX1 operates properly when
a note is played.
2. When the Mic input method is used, it is recommended that the tuning
procedure be performed in a quiet environment for accurate tuning. Also,
bring the instrument close to STMX1 to register a note.
3. If you find it difficult to tune the instrument with the Clip input method, re-
attach STMX1 in such a position of the instrument that the vibrations are
transmitted to STMX1 more clearly.
