Tuner

Short answer: the tuner listens to your input and helps tune your guitar or bass to a preset or the current song.

When To Use This

  • Before playing a song.
  • When the current song uses a different tuning.
  • When you changed instruments.
  • When note detection seems wrong.

Steps

  1. Open the Tuner button or tuner panel.
  2. Confirm the input device and channel if shown.
  3. Choose Current Song, a preset, or a custom tuning.
  4. Pluck one string at a time.
  5. Tune until the indicator is centered/in tune.
  6. Close or leave the tuner open depending on your workflow.

Current Song Tuning

When opened from the player, the tuner can follow the tuning required by the current song arrangement.

Auto-Open Behavior

Some builds can prompt or auto-open the tuner when the next song needs a different tuning. If this is distracting, check tuner or plugin settings for auto-open options.
