Installing the Batteries

Install four alkaline batteries (AA, LR6) in the battery compartment located on the bottom of the unit.
* When turning the unit over, be careful so as to protect the buttons and knobs from damage. Also, handle the unit
carefully; do not drop it.
* If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and fluid leakage. Make sure that you carefully observe all of the
items related to batteries that are listed in “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (separate sheet “USING THE
UNIT SAFELY” and Owner’s manual (p. 12)).
* We recommend that you keep batteries installed in the unit even though you’ll be powering it with the AC adaptor. That
way, you’ll be able to continue a performance even if the cord of the AC adaptor gets accidentally disconnected from the
unit.
* To prevent malfunctions or accidents, install or replace the batteries before connecting the unit to other equipment.
* “BATTERY LOW” will appear on the display if the batteries are low. Replace them with new ones.

(DIRECT LEVEL) according to an analysis of the guitar input, allowing you to create
harmony based on diatonic scales.
* Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more
sounds played simultaneously) cannot be played. Be sure to
mute all the other strings and play only one note at a time.
* When you are to play the next string while a certain sound is
still playing, mute the previous sound and then play the next
one with a clear attack. If the unit cannot detect the attack, it
may not sound correctly.
* The sensitivity may vary according to the guitar’s TONE knob
and pickup type.
This determines the pitch of the sound added
to the input sound, when you are making a

It allows you to set it by up to 2 octaves higher
