m@ Master Tuning
You can tune the RD-500 to match the pitch of other instruments, singers, or recorded music.
While holding down the TRANSPOSE button, set the pitch using the INC/DEC buttons or the
VALUE slider.
Tuning Range : 427.4 — 452.6 Hz (displayed as 27.4 — 52.6)
Because of the RD-500's display, only three digits at a time can be shown. Therefore, when the
display reads “40.0,” for example, it really means 440.0; the first digit has been left off. This is the
pitch of the note A4.
