10 RACKTUNER BTR2000 User Manual Custom tempering The BTR2000 tuner makes it possible to tune using different temperings, whether existing or customized. This means that some strings are tuned a few cents higher or lower according to a certain system. The scale of the LED bar can be changed from ±50 cents to ±10 cents. This enables extremely precise tunings since each light in the bar corresponds to exactly 1 cent. ◊ Before starting fine tuning, you should first tune your instrument as described in chapter 4.1. 1. To change the scale of the LED bar, press and hold the MODE/FINE button. If the "±10 Cent" display is selected, the FINE light above the MODE/FINE button lights up. 2. Tune your instrument as described in chapter 4.1. Now you can see the smallest deviations from the pre-set pitch on the LED bar and adjust them with complete confidence. 5. Metronome The integrated metronome in the BTR2000 has a range of 30 beats per minute (BPM) to 240 BPM. There are essentially 2 ways to use the metronome: • You can pre-set a tempo (e.g. 60 BPM). • The BTR2000 can pick up a tempo set by you. To use the metronome, the BTR2000 must be in metronome mode: 1. Press and hold the SOUND/METRONOME button for 2 seconds. 2. The metronome ­function is selected when the METR light above the button is lit. 3. Briefly press INPUT SELECT; the click and the optical display of the metronome start up. ◊ The metronome values set most recently (BPM, type of graphic display, click volume, MUTE) are stored when the BTR2000 is turned off. 5.1 Setting the BPM rate 1. Set the BTR2000 to metronome mode (press and hold the SOUND/METRONOME button for 2 seconds). 2. The selected BPM rate appears in the display. 3. You can adjust the BPM rate using the wheel. 4. Briefly press the INPUT SELECT button. The metronome starts up. 5. The selected tempo appears in the display and is indicated optically and acoustically. 5.2 Using the TAP function 1. Set the BTR2000 to metronome mode (press and hold the SOUND/METRONOME button for 2 seconds). 2. Press the TAP button at least 4 times in succession in the desired tempo. During your entry, the letters tap appear in the display. 3. The BTR2000 metronome takes this tempo and displays it in BPM. ◊ If the TAP button is pressed fewer than four times, the metronome returns to the last set value after 2 seconds. 4. If necessary, the tempo can be readjusted after setting using the wheel. 5. Briefly press the INPUT SELECT button. The metronome starts up. 6. The detected tempo is indicated visually and acoustically. 5.3 Acoustic and visual BPM indicator Visual display The BTR2000 has two ways of indicating the selected tempo on the LED bar: • A flashing light indicates the tempo. • A light moves constantly from one side to the other with the beat. This simulates the needle of a standard mechanical metronome. You can toggle between these two display types as follows: 1. Set the BTR2000 to metronome mode (press and hold the SOUND/METRONOME button for 2 seconds). 2. Start the metronome by pressing the INPUT SELECT button. 3. Briefly press the MODE/FINE button to toggle between the two display types. Acoustic indicator The selected tempo is also output at the SOUND or MAIN connector. ◊ If your instrument is plugged into INPUT 1, the metronome click is output only through the SOUND connector. If it is plugged into INPUT 2, and the SOUND output is not in use, the metronome click is output together with the instrument ­signal from the MAIN connector. You can change the volume of the click at any time and thus control the volume ratio between instrument and click if you are listening to both using one amp. 1. Briefly press the SOUND/METRONOME button. The SOUND LED above the button lights up. 2. With the wheel you can adjust the volume of the click with 12 volume levels. ◊ Even at the lowest volume level 1( ), the metronome click is still audible. The click can be shut off with the MUTE button. 3. If the volume is not changed for some time or if the SOUND/ METRONOME button is pressed again, the SOUND light goes out. The metronome can naturally be muted without affecting the visual display. 1. Press the MUTE/LIGHT button. 2. The metronome click is muted and no longer output through the MAIN connector.
