Owner's Manual Thank you for purchasing the Korg CA-40 chromatic tuner. Introduction 4015-2 Yanokuchi, Inagi-city, Tokyo 206-0812 Japan 2005 KORG INC. Installing the batteries Slide and remove the battery compartment cover located on the back of the CA-40. Insert the batteries ensuring that you observe the correct polarity, and replace the cover. If the CA-40 malfunctions and you are unable to solve the problem by turning the power off and on again, try removing the batteries and then reinstall them. The included batteries are provided for the purpose of verifying operation and therefore may have a shorter lifetime than usual. When the batteries run low, a battery indicator will appear in the left of the display. When this indicator appears, replace the batteries as soon as possible. Power-off the CA-40 before you replace the batteries. Precautions Location Using the unit in the following locations can result in a malfunction. · In direct sunlight · Locations of extreme temperature or humidity · Excessively dusty or dirty locations · Locations of excessive vibration · Close to magnetic fields Power supply Be sure to turn the power switch to OFF when the unit is not in use. Remove the battery in order to prevent it from leaking when the unit is not in use for extended periods. Interference with other electrical devices Radios and televisions placed nearby may experience reception interference. Operate this unit at a suitable distance from radios and televisions. 2 Press the [STANDBY/ON] button. The CA-40 will be in Meter mode. The upper left of the display shows the calibration (reference pitch) you specified most recently. The power will turn off automatically if the tuner is not used for approximately twenty minutes. 3 If you want to change the calibration setting, press the CALIB [ ] or [ ] buttons. The calibration setting will change in steps of 1 Hz. If you hold down the button, the calibration setting will increase or decrease continuously. 4 Play a single note on your instrument. The name of the note closest to the note you played will appear in the upper right of the display. Tune your instrument so that the desired note name appears. If you're using the internal mic, position the mic as close as possible to your instrument, and ensure that extraneous background sounds are not picked up by the mic while tuning. 5 While playing a single note, tune your instrument so that the indicator in the center of the tuning guide is lit. The left indicator of the tuning guide will light if the pitch of your instrument is too low, and the right indicator will light if the pitch is too high. 6 If you want to tune to a pure major third or pure minor third above a certain note, use the " " (-13.7 cent) or " " (+15.6 cent) marks of the meter. Tuning to a pure major third or pure minor third If you want to tune your instrument to a pitch that is a pure major third above A (0 cents), make the note name indicator read C#, and tune your instrument so that the meter indicates the " " position. If you want to tune your instrument to a pitch that is a pure minor third above A (0 cents), make the note name indicator read C, and tune your instrument so that the meter indicates the " " position. Using the stand By opening the stand located on the back, you can position the CA-40 at a convenient angle. Sound Out mode This mode lets you listen to a reference tone while you tune your instrument. 1 Perform steps 2 and 3 of "Meter mode." 2 Press the [SOUND/NOTE SELECT] button. The CA-40 will be in Sound Out mode, and the speaker will play a reference tone. Hold down the [SOUND/NOTE SELECT] button, and use the CALIB [ ] [ ] buttons to change the pitch of the reference tone that is audible from the speaker. The pitch will change in the following order. A ÷ B ÷ B ÷ C (C5) ÷ C (C4) ÷ C# ÷ D ÷ E ÷ E ÷ F ÷ F# ÷ G ÷ G# ÷ A ÷ ... 3 Tune your instrument to match the reference tone. Handling To avoid breakage, do not apply excessive force to the switches or controls. Care If the exterior becomes dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene or thinner, or cleaning compounds or flammable polishes.

The connection method will depend on the type of instrument you're connecting. When tuning an instrument that has a pickup Be sure to use an instrument cable for connection to the CA-40's INPUT jack. You can't use the internal mic if a plug is inserted in the INPUT jack. If you're performing on stage, it is convenient to use the CA-40's OUTPUT jack. Connect your instrument to the CA-40's INPUT jack, and then connect your amp to the OUTPUT jack. The sound of your instrument will be sent from the CA-40's OUTPUT jack to your amp, allowing you to tune or perform while the CA-40 remains connected. If you've connected the OUTPUT jack to your amp etc., you must insert a cable into the INPUT jack. If nothing is connected to the INPUT jack, the internal mic will be automatically used. In this case, sound entering the internal mic could cause feedback, possibly damaging your amp. When tuning an acoustic instrument If you're using a separately sold Korg CM-100 contact mic, connect the CM-100's plug to the CA-40's INPUT jack. If you're using the internal mic, don't connect anything. CE mark for European Harmonized Standards CE mark which is attached to our company's products of AC mains operated apparatus until December 31, 1996 means it conforms to EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) and CE mark Directive (93/68/EEC). And, CE mark which is attached after January 1, 1997 means it conforms to EMC Directive (89/336/EEC), CE mark Directive (93/68/EEC) and Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC). Also, CE mark which is attached to our company's products of Battery operated apparatus means it conforms to EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) and CE mark Directive (93/68/EEC). The calibration setting and the Sound Out reference pitch are remembered even when you turn off the power. However when you replace the batteries, these settings will be initialized to the default values; the calibration will return to 440 Hz, and the Sound Out reference pitch will return to A. Even if the pitch is within the range of detection, the CA-40 may be unable to detect the pitch if the sound contains numerous overtones (such as the low and high notes on an acoustic piano) or if the instrument has a rapid decay. * Specifications and appearance are subject to change without notice for improvement of the product.
