4 RACKTUNER BTR2000 User Manual 1. Introduction Thank you for the confidence you have placed in us with your purchase of the BTR2000. You have acquired an extraordinary combination of a tuner and a metronome with integrated rack lighting that also makes it perfect for on-stage use. This advanced equipment sets new standards with its extensive list of features. It is an auto-chromatic tuner, which means it can automatically recognize any pitch when tuning your instrument. It also offers 3 individually configurable functions in tuner mode: • With 11 different modes, the tuner lets you respond fully to the specific needs of your instrument. For example, in guitar mode the BTR2000 recognizes the pitches of the open guitar strings, while in chromatic mode it recognizes all 12 half-tones. • The standard "A" pitch can be calibrated individually. This makes the tuning of your instrument even more flexible. • To achieve a particular sound or to allow you to play better with other instruments (such as brass), the RACKTUNER lets you transpose your instrument by half steps, tuning it higher or lower. This way you can be fully responsive to the unique features of both the music and your instrument. In addition to its function as a tuner, the BTR2000 can also be used as a metronome. You can set the BPM rate manually or use the TAP function. With its well-engineered circuitry, the RACKTUNER can be used with one or two amplifiers, so that you can adapt the BTR2000 for use in many different settings, where it will provide optimal support in any situation. 1.1 Before you get started 1.1.1 Shipment The RACKTUNER was carefully packed at the assembly plant to assure secure transport.
