Casio PG-380 - Octave Tuning Adjustment

2
The Basics
You can tune each string by
playing it open or at the octave
(12th fret). For increased ac-
curacy, you might find it best
to tune each string open first,
then check the tuning at the
12th fret and make any neces-
sary fine adjustment.
To adjust octave
tuning
© Play the string open and
then at the octave (12 fret).
If the pitch is slightly sharp
at the 12th fret, loosen the
string and unscrew the cor-
responding bridge adjustment
screw. Slightly move the bridge
towards the pickup (direction
‘A) and check open/octave tun-
ing again,
@[f the pitch is slightly flat at
the 12th fret, loosen the string
and unscrew the corresponding
bridge adjustment screw.
Slightly move the bridge
towards the tail (direction B)
and check open/octave tuning
again,
It’s important to note that each
time a string’s pitch is raised 550
cents over its standard tuning,
the tuner automatically “shifts”
into the next octave.
Because of this, if @ string is al-
ready sharp (when the “#” in-
dicator is lit) and you continue
to raise its tuning, the “b” indi-
cator will light and the “2” indi-
cator will go out. This is because
you have exceeded the 530 cent
limit and the tuner is indicating
tuning for the next octave up.
When you are using your PG
guitar as a MIDI controller (see
‘page 13, it is important to
tune the MIDI sound source to
your PG guitar in order to play
totally “in tune”. You might
also iry to detune one or the
other for some interesting effects.
