Korg Sledgehammer Pro User Manual

2: Strobe meter
Tune your instrument so that the illumination stops owing in the
meter display. Since the strobe meter has higher precision, it allows
you to tune with greater accuracy. The illumination will ow from
le to right if the note is sharp, or from right to le if the note is at.
3: Half-strobe meter
Tune your instrument so that the stream stops and only the center
LED is lit up. The right side of the meter display will strobe if the note
is sharp, and the le side of the meter display will strobe if the note
is at. When the pitch is correct, only the center LED will light up.
Calibration (reference pitch) settings (
*M )
Each time you turn the right shule switch upward (or downward),
the calibration value (reference pitch) increases (or decreases) in 1 Hz
steps. The last digit of the seing appears in the note name indicator
for a few seconds.
6 (436Hz)... 9 (439Hz)0(440Hz)1(441Hz)2(442Hz)...5(445Hz)
The seing range is between 436 and 445 Hz.
Attaching to the instrument and range of motion
The Sledgehammer Pro tunes by picking up the vibrations of the
instrument. Therefore, be sure to aach the Sledgehammer Pro to the
headstock of your instrument in order to tune it. In addition, the Sledge-
hammer Pro can be freely moved so that the display is easy to read.

Installing the battery

When it is time to replace the baery, the note name indicator will
blink. Immediately replace the baery with a new one.
1. While lightly pressing the part marked A, pull the baery holder
in the direction of the arrow to slide it out.
2. Making sure to observe the correct polarity, insert the baery so
that the “+” side of the baery is visible.
3. Return the baery holder to its original position.
Tuning
Tuning procedure
1. Turn the le shule switch upward. Each time you turn the shule
switch, the Sledgehammer Pro will be turned on or o.
If the power is le on for approximately 3 minutes without any user
input, it will turn o automatically.
2. If necessary, change the meter mode and calibration (reference
pitch).
3. Play a single note on your instrument.
The note name closest to the detected pitch appears in the note
name indicator.
Tune your instrument to the correct pitch so that the desired note
name appears on the display.
4. Tune the instrument by playing a single note and checking the
meter.
The tuning indications dier depending on the selected meter
mode seing.

Setting the meter mode (
*M )
Each time you turn the le shule switch downward, the meter mode
changes. A number indicating the meter mode appears in the note
name indicator for a few seconds.
1 (Regular) → 2 (Strobe) → 3 (Half strobe) → 1 (Regular) ...
1: Regular meter
Tune your instrument so that the center LED of the meter display is lit
up. The LED illumination will move from the center toward the right
if the note is sharp, or from the center toward the le if the note is at.
