Using the Tuner Function

* Use manual tuning when the strings are substantially out of tune
(such as after changing strings).

The unit enters Tuner mode, and the TUNER button lights. When the
unit is in Tuner mode, no sound is played through the speakers
or the REC OUT/PHONES jack.

knob to select the
string that you
want to tune.

Chromatic Tuning
If you press the TUNER button for one full second or more, the TUNER
button flashes and the unit becomes usable as a "chromatic tuner" which
automatically determines the name of the note closest to the one played.
As with manual tuning, chromatic tuning allows you to play a single note on
the string that you want to tune. Tune the string until the green indicator lights.
Using the RHYTHM GUIDE
The MICRO CUBE RX is equipped with drum/percussion-based rhythm
patterns that are useful for solo practicing. In addition to practicing with
your desired beat, you can also use it as a metronome.
1. Select the rhythm genre using the PATTERN knob.
METRONOME ROCK1

2. Press the START/STOP button to start the RHYTHM GUIDE.
When the RHYTHM GUIDE is started, the RHYTHM GUIDE indicator
lights.
3. Adjust the RHYTHM GUIDE volume using the RHYTHM GUIDE
VOLUME knob.
Select a rhythm variation by pressing the VARIATION button.
4.
Each genre contains three types of rhythm variations. Pressing
the VARIATION button cycles you through the available variations;
the VARIATION indicator will be unlit, will light green, or will light
red to indicate the change in variation.
Adjust the variation to the tempo that you want to play to.
