Roland VT-12 - Pitch Checking Guide; Selecting Pitch Detection Modes; Interpreting Pitch Results

Before you start vocalizing, sound the guide tone (equal tempered) to
hear the correct pitch.
MEMO
You can use the [
] button and [ ] button to change the guide
tone.
Checking the Pitch
You’ll probably want to begin by checking your pitch.
The VT-12 is able to check the pitch of not just one, but two voices simultaneously.
This makes it convenient for checking the pitch of two people singing harmony.
2
Press the [ ] button.
Vocalize the pitch that you intend to match.
Vocalize, and check your pitch.

MONO EQUAL: One voice will be detected using
equal temperament.
CHORD EQUAL: Two voices will be detected using
equal temperament.
CHORD JUST: Two voices will be detected using
just intonation (major).
MEMO
The key for just intonation is determined by the lower pitch.
If the VT-12 is sounding a guide tone, the key is determined by the
guide tone. If a guide tone is being sounded, only one voice can be
detected.
Select the type of pitch detection.
