[. . . ] BTR2000 Users manual Version 1. 0 April 2005 RACKTUNER DEUTSCH RACKTUNER BTR2000 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover (or the rear section). No user serviceable parts inside; refer servicing to qualified personnel. This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosurevoltage that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock. This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to important operating and maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. [. . . ] The display will show the name of the note closest to the frequency you have generated. The unit displays the note that is available in this mode and comes closest to the frequency played. 6. + + 7. For example, a note that is played and identified on the display as A may deviate somewhat from the ideal pitch. Using the LED bar, you can monitor how far and in what direction your note deviates from the ideal. If the display tends to the left, the note played is somewhat flat and if the LEDs tend to the right your note is too sharp. The LED bar on the BTR2000 can indicate deviations up to 50 cents (a quarter tone) sharp or flat. If the incoming frequency deviates more than this from the displayed note, the LED display either remains on the far left or right or jumps to the next note. Tune the string of your instrument until the green light in the center of the LED bar lights up. Repeat steps 5 through 8 for all of the strings of your instrument. + 8. 4. 4. 1. 2 Tuning with the built-in microphone RACKTUNER BTR2000 To be able to work with the built-in microphone, there must be no cable plugged into the INPUT2 connector in the back of the BTR2000 and the MUTE button must be depressed. Mute this channel by pressing MUTE/LIGHT; the MUTE LED above the MUTE/LIGHT button lights up. Make certain that there is as little noise as possible to disrupt the tuning process. 4. 1. 3 Tuning with a reference tone + 1. The BTR2000 can generate and output notes. If your instrument is plugged into INPUT 1, the reference tone is output only through the SOUND output connector; if it is plugged into the INPUT 2 connector and there is nothing plugged into the SOUND output, the reference pitch is played through the MAIN output together with the instrument signal. The BTR2000 can only recognize certain pitches depending on the tuner mode selected. Calibrate the reference tone and set the transposition if desired (see chapter 4. 3 / 4. 4). The sound mode is activated and the SOUND LED above the SOUND/METRONOME flashes. The unit emits the lowest pitch available in this mode or the last pitch set in the tuner (even if it is not available in the currently selected tuner mode) through the SOUND and/or MAIN connector on the back panel of the BTR2000. After briefly pressing the TRANSPOSE/REF button you can turn the wheel to change the reference tone emitted depending on the selected tuner mode. After a short time or after the TRANSPOSE/REF button is pressed again, the unit returns to sound mode and the wheel can again be used to control the volume. Tune each string of your instrument to an appropriate reference tone. + 2. 8. When you press the MUTE button, the MAIN output (instrument sound and possibly the reference tone as well) is muted; the SOUND output is not affected. [. . . ] If you have only one amplifier available, the setup shown in figure 7. 1 is recommended. INPUT 2 INPUT V-TONE GMX212 Fig. 7. 1: BTR2000 configuration with only one amp Figure 7. 2 shows an example of a more complex configuration. In this example, the BTR2000 is connected to 2 instruments and a double footswitch. Fig. 7. 2: Separate playback of metronome click/reference tone and instrument signal 7. [. . . ]
