Per-String Pitch Offset (Magenta Category)
Offset any string’s individual pitch up to ±12 cents (a cent is 1/100
th
of a
semitone)
Note: Pitch Offset applies to the last completed tuning. Please choose, select, and tune to a tuning
preset before applying per-string pitch offset. Pitch offset will remain applied to this tuning until you
change its pitch offset, reset the bank, or reset the system.
1. With Gibson G FORCE off, press On three times. Press the Left button three times to select
magenta G. Press Enter.
2. The Left/Right buttons choose the magenta string LED for the string you want to offset. Press
Enter.
3. Press the Left/Right buttons to enter the string’s pitch offset:
If no previous offset exists, all string LEDs flash . Each Left button press lights a green LED
and offsets pitch by +1 cent (up to +6 cents). Continuing to press the Left button lights
LEDs. Each lit LED offsets the pitch by another +1 cent (+12 cents maximum).
Each Right button press lights a red LED and offsets pitch by -1 cent (up to -6 cents). Continuing
to press the Right button lights magenta LEDs. Each lit magenta LED offsets the pitch by another
-1 cent (-12 cents maximum).
If an offset already exists, Gibson G FORCE displays the offset amount as described above. In this
case, Right or Left button presses continue on from the existing offset. Example: If 12 magenta
LEDs are lit to indicate -12 cents of offset, pressing the Left button will turn off successive
magenta LEDs, then turn off successive red LEDs, then start lighting green LEDs
4. Press Enter. To offset additional strings, repeat steps 2- 4. Otherwise, press and hold the
On/Back/Off button to turn off Gibson G FORCE.
