Using the tuner and metronome simultaneously

The TM-40 lets you use the tuner and metronome simultaneously.

For details on tuner operation and metronome operation, refer to

“Using the tuner” and “Using the metronome.”

Using the tuner and metronome simultaneously

For example if you're playing along with the metronome and notice

that your instrument is not tuned correctly, you can leave the

metronome running while you tune.

Proceed as follows.

1 Press the [METRONOME ON] switch.

In Beat mode

Press the [START/STOP–TAP IN] switch to start the metronome.

If necessary, specify the tempo and time signature etc.

To set the tempo: TEMPO [▲] or [▼] switch

To set the time signature: BEAT/TAP [▲] or [▼] switch

When using the tuner and metronome simultaneously, you

can't select “triplets”, “triplets without the center beat”,

“quadruplets” or “quadruplets without the center beats” as

the time signature.

In Tap mode

Simultaneously press the BEAT/TAP [▲] and [▼] switches to

enter Tap mode, and use the [START/STOP-TAP IN] switch to

input the tap tempo.

Then press the BEAT/TAP [▲] or [▼] switch to enter Beat mode;

the metronome will start.

If necessary, use Beat mode to adjust the tempo and time

signature.

2 Press the [TUNER ON] switch to enter Meter mode.

The display will show the tuning meter. In this state, the tempo

is indicated by the LEDs located at the left and right of the

display.

If you want to tune in Sound Out mode, you should then press

the [SOUND] switch.

Adjust the calibration if necessary.

To adjust the calibration: CALIB [▲] or [▼] switch

Tuning in Meter mode

When you play a single note on your instrument, the display

will show the name of the note that is closest to the pitch you

played. Tune your instrument while watching the meter and the

tuning guide.

Tuning in Sound Out mode

Press the [SOUND] switch to select the name of the desired note.

Tune your instrument to the pitch you hear.

”) of the

Tuner section are remembered even when the power is off. However when

you exchange the batteries, these settings will return to the following default

values.

Default values: Calibration = 440 Hz, Sound = 12 NOTES

The tempo, Time signature, and Tempo setting type (“PENDULUM STEP” or

“FULL STEP”) of the Metronome section are remembered even when the

power is off. However when you exchange the batteries, these settings will

return to the following default values.

Default values: Tempo = 120, Time signature = four beats, Tempo setting

type = PENDULUM STEP

* Even if the pitch is within the range of detection, the TM-40 may be unable to

detect the pitch if the sound contains numerous overtones (such as the low and

high notes on an acoustic piano) or if the instrument has a rapid decay.

Specifications and appearance are subject to change without notice for improve-

ment.

3 If you want to change the calibration setting, press the CALIB

[▲] or [▼] switch. This setting is remembered even when the

power is off.

Press the CALIB [▲] or [▼] switch: The calibration setting

will increase or decrease in 1 Hz steps. If you hold down the

switch, the calibration setting will change continuously.

4 Play a single note on your instrument.

The name of the note closest to the note you played will appear

in the left of the display. Tune your instrument to the correct

pitch, so that the desired note name appears.

If you're using the internal mic, place your instrument as

close as possible to the mic so that extraneous sound is not

picked up while tuning.

5 While playing a single note on your instrument, tune your

instrument so that the tip of the meter indicates “0” and the

center indicator of the tuning guide is lit.

The left tuning guide indicator will light if the pitch of your

instrument is flat, and the right indicator if the pitch is sharp.

6 If you want to tune a just major third above or a minor third

above a certain note, use the “

” (-13.7 cent) or “ ” (+15.6 cent)

marks on the meter.

Tuning to a just major third above or a minor third above

If you want to tune to a just major third above A (0 cent), tune

your instrument so that the note name indicator shows C# and

the meter is at “

”.

If you want to tune to a minor third above A (0 cent), tune your

instrument so that the note name indicator shows C and the

meter is at “

”.
