Guitar icon Steve Vai had this to say about
the Korg Pitchblack Poly pedal tuner:
"The Pitchblack Poly tuner by Korg
is a great example of how Korg is always looking around the corner to
create gear that is practical, user friendly, and almost magic. I had to
scratch my head and think, �How did they do this?� Tuning on the fly
has never been easier."
Announcing a revolutionary advance in polyphonic tuners that will
shorten your tuning time! Korg�s Pitchblack Poly is the new standard in
guitar and bass pedal tuners, featuring the exclusive �String Seeker.�
Key Features:
- Offers quick and easy high-precision polyphonic tuning
- Displays the tuning status of all strings at once
- Check the tuning of every string with a single glance
- Ideal for �floating tremolo systems�
- Flat (5 Semitones), Capo (7 Semitones), and Drop-D tunings are also supported
- �String Seeker� automatically switches the display to the string being tuned
- Four meter modes for precise tuning
- Automatically detects guitars and basses (up to 6-string)
- Tone-preserving True Bypass design; diecast aluminum body
- Two-way power; operates on 9V battery or 9V DC input
- 9V DC cascade power jack is also provided
The Pitchblack series of high-performance pedal tuners bring together
Korg�s legendary tuner accuracy, versatility, and reliability � along
with easy-to-see displays and stylish diecast aluminum bodies. Now, the
remarkable Pitchblack Poly adds the convenience of polyphonic tuning to
the acclaimed Pitchblack pedal tuner line-up.
Powerful polyphonic tuning � check the tuning of all strings at once!
The Pitchblack Poly features Korg�s revolutionary polyphonic tuning.
Simply strum your guitar; the Pitchblack Poly will show which strings
are in tune and which strings are out of tune, all in a single glance.
Tuning with a traditional tuner required checking every string, one at a
time � including strings that may have been perfectly in tune. Using
the Pitchblack Poly�s advanced polyphonic tuning, you can quickly see
which strings are out of tune and adjust only those strings, saving time
and letting you get back to playing quickly! Guitar or bass (up to
6-strings) use is detected automatically, so there's no need to change
settings.
Ideal for �floating tremolo systems�
Guitarists who use especially a �floating tremolo system� will have
noticed that one out-of-tune string may affect the tuning of the other
strings; so a single flat string may cause the other strings to sound
sharp. With a traditional tuner, this may require tuning and retuning
each string multiple times. The Pitchblack Poly makes it easy to
identify and correct the one flat string, causing the other strings to
sound their correct pitch.
String Seeker automatic meter switching
Strumming the guitar displays the tuning status of every string, making
it easy to see which string is out of tune. Simply turn the tuning peg
for that string, and the String Seeker feature will automatically detect
the string you are adjusting, and instantly display its tuning status.
In addition to ensuring that you've tuned each of the out-of-tune
strings, this convenient design also allows stress-free tuning even for
those using a polyphonic tuner for the first time.
Improved double meter design
The upper display provides a large, high-visibility meter with a row of
bright white and blue LEDs that clearly indicate any pitch discrepancy.
The lower display contains the meters for the individual strings. These
will switch between bright red and green LEDs according to the mode. In
the polyphonic mode, they show the tuning status of all strings. For
mono tuning, they provide a large display of the note name. Large,
bright, and colorful, this double-meter LED display ensures superb
visibility, even when the unit is on the floor of a dark stage or in
daylight conditions.
Four tuning display modes
When tuning individual strings using the Pitchblack Poly, you can choose
from four LED meter display modes to suit your needs: Regular Meter,
Full Strobe, Half Strobe, or Split.
Regular Meter mode
As when using a needle-type meter tuner, tune the string so that the
white LED in the center of the meter is lit. The illuminated LED will
move to the right if the string is sharp, or toward the left if the
string is flat.
Full Strobe mode
Tune the string so that the LED meter illumination stops flowing. The
illumination will flow from left to right if the string is sharp, or
from right to left if the string is flat.
Half Strobe mode
Tune the string so that the LED meter illumination stops flowing and
only the center white LED is lit. The right side of the LED meter will
strobe if the string is sharp; the left side if the string is flat. When
the pitch is correct, only the center LED will be lit.
Split mode
This mode is a first for the Pitchblack series. It's a hybrid of Meter
mode and Half Strobe mode. Tune the string so that the lit LEDs at left
and right converge in the center. If the string is sharp, the right side
of the meter shows the amount of the discrepancy, and the left side
shows a half-strobe display. If the string is flat, the left side of the
meter shows the amount of the discrepancy, and the right side shows a
half-strobe display.
True Bypass circuitry preserves your tone.
While tuning, the Pitchblack Poly completely mutes the audio input. When
not tuning, the incoming audio signal is sent directly to the output
without being affected in any way by the tuner circuit (true bypass).
Even when the Pitchblack Poly is connected between several of your
favorite pedal effect units, the input will simply be directly output
without passing through any buffer amp, ensuring that the sound you've
created with your effect units will be uncolored. The Pitchblack Poly is
designed to play nicely with your other effect pedals.
A welcome addition to your pedalboard
The Pitchblack Poly is sized like a pedal effect unit, and will
conveniently fit into most effect pedalboard systems. In addition,
Pitchblack Poly also provides a DC OUT jack that can be used to feed
power to other effect pedals (when using the optional AC adapter). With a
dedicated power supply circuit for the DC OUT, this jack is able to
provide a stable and noiseless power supply (9V 200mA) that's equivalent
to a dedicated effect pedal power supply. By connecting a commercially
available DC cable, you can supply power to multiple effect pedals,
allowing you to simplify the power connections in your pedalboard.
