Hi Ken,

Let's say you normally use the SE9 Sweetener to tune to standard E9.
To quickly change that to E flat 9, all you have to do is the following:

1. Switch your StroboPLUS HD on (assuming SE9 is active)
2. Rotate the dial clockwise by one notch, the "TRANS" parameter will flash.
3. While it's flashing, press the dial to select it.
4. Rotate the dial counter-clockwise by one notch, you should see "-1" (minus one) under the TRANS icon.

You have now set the tuner to transpose the SE9 tuning (including the offsets) one half-step down to E flat 9.
Now, just tune as if you were tuning normally using the standard E9 note names, the result will be Eb9 with the correct offsets where they should be.

Don't forget to revert the tuner to TRANS:0 when you're no longer playing in E flat.

Alternatively, you have the option of shifting the root of the Sweetener, so that the note names that appear are the actual note names with the root (and therefore the offsets) shifted one half step down.
"Home" root for all Sweeteners is C.

1. Leave TRANS at 0 (zero)
2. Select the SE9 Sweetener,
3. Press, hold and rotate the dial to shift the root to B.

"SE9" and "B" (Sweetener and root) will display alternately to alert you to the current status as long as the tuner is on.

The root reverts to "Home" when the tuner is switched off it is not saved to memory liker other parameters.

On the StroboStomp HD, you can transpose a Sweetener by adjusting the "Drop/Capo" parameter to -1 (minus one).
