Frequently Asked Questions - AWLT100B KORG

How to attach the Korg AW-LT100B tuner to my instrument?

Attach the clip to the instrument headstock. You can rotate the screen up to 340° for optimal readability. Caution: do not force the movement and remove after use to avoid scratches.

What type of battery to use and how to replace it?

Use one AAA battery (included). Open the battery compartment cover on the back by pulling in the direction of the arrow. Replace it respecting polarity. When the battery indicator lights up, replace it promptly.

How to adjust the reference pitch (calibration)?

Turn the right rotary dial (CALIB) up or down to adjust the reference pitch A4 in 1 Hz steps from 436 to 445 Hz. The setting is retained after power off.

What display modes are available and how to change them?

Three modes: traditional (centered segments), strobe (scrolling), and semi-strobe (central segment). Turn the left rotary dial (DISP) down to cycle through the modes.

How to turn the device on and off?

Turn the left rotary dial (DISP) up to turn on/off. The device automatically turns off after approximately 3 minutes without sound signal (auto power off).

Why is my tuner not detecting my note?

Make sure the tuner is securely attached and the instrument emits a clear sound. It may not detect notes if the sound contains too many harmonics or a rapid decay. Avoid ambient vibrations.

How to adjust the backlight?

After turning on the device, hold the left rotary dial turned up for about 2 seconds. You toggle between Auto (bright backlight during use, then off after 3 seconds) and Light (reduced brightness to save battery).

What are the maintenance and safety precautions?

Clean with a dry, clean cloth. Do not use liquid or flammable products. Avoid exposure to sunlight, heat, humidity, dust, and strong vibrations. Do not place containers with liquid nearby. Remove the battery if the device is not used for a long time.

What is the detection range of the AW-LT100B?

The bass version (AW-LT100B) detects notes from E0 (20.60 Hz) to C5 (523.3 Hz). Ideal for bass and other low-pitched instruments.

What to do if the tuner seems defective?

First check the battery. If the problem persists, consult the manual. Note that use in a country other than the one for which it was designed may be dangerous and void the warranty. Keep your proof of purchase.

Attaching to the instrument and range of motion

The AW-LT100G/AW-LT100B tunes by picking up the vibrations of the instrument. Therefore, attach the AW-LT100G/AW-LT100B to the headstock of your instrument in order to tune it. Additionally, the AW-LT100G/AW-LT100B can be freely moved so that the display is easy to read.

The AW-LT100G/AW-LT100B may be damaged if you apply excessive force within its range of motion, or attempt to move it beyond its intended range of motion.

Please carefully attach the AW-LT100G/AW-LT100B to your instrument. Leaving the AW-LT100G/AW-LT100B attached for a long time may damage or mark the instrument's surface.
Depending on various factors such as age-related change or the surface finish, there is a possibility that your instrument may be damaged by attaching this product.

Tuning

Tuning procedure

1. Turn the left shuttle switch upward. Each time you turn the shuttle switch, the AW-LT100G/AW-LT100B will be turned on or off. If the power is left on for approximately 3 minutes without any user input, it will turn off automatically (Auto power-off function).
2. If necessary, change the reference pitch (calibration) and meter mode.
3. Play a single note on your instrument. The note name closest to the detected pitch appears in the note name indicator. Check that the correct note name appears in the display, and then tune your instrument while watching the meter. The tuning indications differ depending on the selected meter mode setting.
   Even if the pitch is within the range of detection, it may not be possible to detect the pitch of an instrumental sound that contains large numbers of overtones or a sound that has a rapid decay.
   The meter may respond to vibrations it picks up from the environment.

Reference pitch settings (calibration) (\*M)

Each time you turn the right shuttle switch upward (or downward), the reference pitch (calibration value) increases (or decreases) in 1 Hz steps.

Setting the meter mode (\*M)

Each time you turn the left shuttle switch downward, the meter mode changes.

switch Regular → Strobe → Half strobe → Regular ...

1: Regular meter

Tune your instrument until the meter segments up to the center (▼) light up. If the pitch is sharp, meter segments up to the right of the center light up. If the pitch is flat, meter segments to the left of the center light up.

The pitch is flat. In tune. The pitch is sharp.

2: Strobe meter

Tune your instrument until the meter segments stop running. Since the strobe meter has higher precision, it allows you to tune with greater accuracy. The illumination will flow from left to right if the note is sharp, or from right to left if the note is flat.

The pitch is flat. In tune. The pitch is sharp.

3: Half-strobe meter

Tune your instrument until the meter segment at the center (▼ lights up. If the pitch is sharp, meter segments to the right of the center light up. If the pitch is flat, meter segments to the left of the center light up.

The pitch is flat. In tune. The pitch is sharp.

Backlight

After turning the left shuttle switch upward to turn on the AW-LT100G/AW-LT100B, you can change the brightness of the display by keeping the left shuttle switch turned upward for approximately 2 seconds.

Auto : The backlight will light brightly when sound is inputted or when a shuttle switch is operated. When there has been no sound input or shuttle switch operation for approximately three seconds after the power has been turned on, the backlight will turn off in order to prevent the battery from being depleted.

Soft: The backlight will light at a lower level of brightness in order to prevent the battery from being depleted.
