Maximum 200 milliamps
DC cascade cable (sold separately)
DC 9V OUT
BYPASS
To your effect
pedals or amps etc.
Turn off the power of all devices before you make any connections to avoid damaging your
equipment.
The INPUT and True BYPASS jacks are mono. Stereo (TRS) cables will not work.
INPUT jack
Connect a cable from your instrument to the INPUT jack of the tuner. When you do
this, the calibration setting will blink for several seconds in the note name display.
Connecting a cable to the INPUT jack will turn the power on, but the tuner will not be
in tuner mode. Press the TUNER ON/OFF switch to engage tuner mode.
When a cable is plugged into the INPUT jack, the turner is turned on and starts consuming
battery power. To conserve battery life, disconnect the cable from the INPUT jack when not
in use.
True BYPASS jack
Connect a cable from the True BYPASS jack to your other effect pedals or amp. When
the tuner is switched on, the signal from the INPUT jack will be muted for silent tuning.
The Pitchblack Advance was designed with a True Bypass circuit. When the tuner is
not active, your tone will not be affected by any of its circuitry.
DC 9 V IN jack
If you use an optional AC adapter for power, ensure that it is 9 volt (
least 600 mA. Using an AC adapter other than what Korg recommends may cause a
malfunction or damage.
When a plug is inserted into the DC 9 V IN jack, the battery cannot be used.
DC 9 V OUT jack
When using an optional AC adapter, you can supply power to one or more effect pedals
with an optional DC cascade cable.
When using an optional DC cascade cable, make sure that the total amount of current consump-
tion for the connected pedals does not exceed 200 mA. Furthermore, pay attention to the required
polarity of the effect pedals when connected.
Do not connect the AC adapter to the DC 9V OUT jack. Doing so will cause a malfunction
or damage.
If the Pitchblack Advance is activated using a battery, you cannot supply power from the
DC 9V OUT jack.
Tuning procedure
1. Press the TUNER ON/OFF switch to activate the tuner.
The TUNER ON/OFF LED will light. Because the Pitchblack Advance has a True
Bypass circuit, you can only tune "silently", meaning you will not hear your audio
signal through an amp etc.
The TUNER ON/OFF switch only functions if an instrument is connected to the INPUT jack.
If no audio signal is input within 4 hours, the tuner will turn off automatically(Auto
power-off function). In addition, there will be no output from the True BYPASS jack. If
this occurs, press the TUNER ON/OFF switch again to activate the tuner in order to use
your instrument.
2. If desired, adjust the calibration and/or select the display mode. The Pitchblack
Advance comes from the factory with the calibration set to A=440 and the tuning
mode set to Meter (see "Adjusting the calibration" & "Choosing a display mode").
3. Play a single note on your instrument and tune it so that the desired note appears
in the note name display.
The note name closest to the entered note appears in the note name display.
4. Tune your instrument using the tuning LED meter.
The method for indicating whether your instrument is in tune, sharp or flat depends
on which display mode you choose. (see "Choosing a display mode")
5. After you finish tuning your instrument, press the TUNER ON/OFF switch to
turn the tuner off.
The TUNER ON/OFF LED turns off. Now your signal will be heard through your amp.
Adjusting the calibration
The Pitchblack Advance comes from the factory with the calibration set to A=440 Hz.
If an adjustment is necessary, you can do so within a range of 436–445 Hz.
1. Press the CALIB button.
The current calibration setting will blink for several seconds in the note name
display (Light → Blink).
2. While the current calibration setting is shown in the note name display, press the
CALIB button again to adjust the setting.
Each time you press the CALIB button you will cycle through the following settings.

3. After you have selected your desired calibration setting, wait approximately two
seconds without pressing any buttons.
The new setting will blink in the note name display indicating the calibration has
been set. The Pitchblack Advance will automatically return to tuner mode.
The calibration setting will be remembered even if the power is turned off. However, this
setting will be reset to the factory default (440 Hz) if the battery is removed or if the adapter
is unplugged. In addition, this setting will be reset to the factory default if an adapter not
connected to an AC outlet is plugged into the tuner, even if the battery is installed.
Choosing a display mode
The Pitchblack Advance allows you to choose one of four display mode settings. The
factory setting is Regular mode.
1. Press the DISPLAY button.
The current setting will blink for several seconds in the note name display (Light
→ Blink).
2. When the setting is shown in the note name display, press the DISPLAY button
again to set the display mode.
Each time you press the DISPLAY button you will cycle through the following
settings.
1: Regular
Tune your instrument until the LED at the center of the LED meter is lit. An LED
on the right will light up if the pitch is high, and an LED on the left will light up if
the pitch is low.
The pitch
is low.
2: Strobe
Tune your instrument until the LEDs stop running. Since the strobe meter has a
higher precision, it allows you to tune with greater accuracy. The LEDs light up,
running from left to right if the pitch is high and from right to left if the pitch is low.
The pitch

is low.
3: Half-strobe
Tune your instrument until the LEDs stop running and only the center LED is lit. The
LEDs on the right will strobe if the pitch is high, and the LEDs on the left will strobe
if the pitch is low. When the pitch is in tune, only the center LED is lit.
The pitch
is low.
4: Mirror
Tune your instrument so that the two illuminated LEDs in the left and right side of
the LED meter coincide in the center. The farther your instrument is from the correct
pitch, the farther apart the illuminated LEDs will be.
The pitch
is low.
3. After you've chosen the display mode you would like to use, wait approximately
two seconds without pressing any buttons.
The note name display will blink, the display mode will be set, and the Pitchblack
Advance will automatically return to tuner mode.With all display modes, the tun-
ing guide LEDs indicate whether the pitch is high or low.
pitch is high, will light up if the pitch is low, and both will light up when the
pitch is in tune.
The display mode setting will be remembered even if the power is turned off. However,
this setting will be reset to the factory default (Regular) if the battery is removed or if
the adapter is unplugged. In addition, this setting will be reset to the factory default if
an adapter not connected to an AC outlet is plugged into the tuner, even if the battery is
installed.
