Tuner View
Click the Tuner button on the Main Control Bar to display the Tuner View and pluck a string on your
guitar or bass to get in tune!
Pitch Indicator “Flat” Indicator Arrow Note Display
Reference Control Mute Switch
The Tuner receives input from the Instrument input of your hardware, so if you are using a device other
than a GX, D.I. or GuitarPort, be sure to select “Instrument” in the Mixer’s Tone A Input Source menu.
Tuning Indicators
The Note Display in the center of the Tuner will tell you the note you plucked, while the Pitch
Indicator appears within the meter to show you if your tuning is at (left of the center of the meter)
or sharp (right of center). You’ll see a right-pointing, green arrow appear (as pictured above) if your
tuning is flat, or a left-pointing, green arrow if sharp. Additionally, you’ll see the Pitch Indicator turn
green when your plucked string is in tune.
Reference Control
The Tuner’s Reference Control tells the Tuner what to use as the base tuning reference pitch. 440
Hz is the standard reference value for A and is generally used for tuning reference in modern, western
music. Unless you have a particular need to adjust the Tuner’s reference, you probably want to stick
with the standard 440 Hz setting for this control. To adjust the reference, either click on the number
and drag up/down, or double click and enter the desired reference frequency.
Mute Switch
Activate the Mute switch to completely silence any signal fed into POD Farm 2. With the Mute
button off you can keep the Tuner View displayed and active and still hear your fully processed POD
Farm 2 signal if you prefer (some folks like to watch the Tuner while performing to see the note being
played and check their tuning anytime!).
POD Farm 2 MIDI Control
Like POD Farm 2 Plug-In, POD Farm 2 in standalone operation also offers remote MIDI control over
the majority of its parameters via an external MIDI controller device! The functionality is essentially
the same as with POD Farm 2 Plug-In, so please refer to “POD Farm 2 Plug-In MIDI Control” on page
4•34. Please also see “MIDI Assignments View” on page 6•15. To follow, we’ve listed the details unique
to using MIDI control with POD Farm 2 in standalone operation.
