How To Program A Stroboflip Tuner (With Your Steels Tuning)

Dick Sexton · From: Greenville, Ohio

I have been contacted recently by a couple friends asking if I still had these instructions. I wrote them a while ago, inspired by our friend Crowbear, and made them available on my Skydrive to anyone interested. Because of the recent inquiry, I wanted to remind all interested, where to find them. They are in a MSWord file that can be found here and downloaded as required. I hope they are of some use.

Look in Strobo Flip Info near the bottom of the page.

Note: If you have trouble downloading them, shoot me an email, I'll send you the file in a return email.

good one Dick

here's the run down by John Norris from Peterson on settings for the StroboRack

The StroboRack doesn't automatically show the cent readout because at an accuracy of 0.1 cent, all you would see would be rapidly scrolling numbers. The way to get a truly accurate reading of how far off any particular string is to:
a. Play the string
b. Press the Cent button on the StroboRack and turn the rotary dial until the strobe image is immobile, you can press the top of the rotary dial briefly to fine tune to 0.1 cent increments.
The cent value will be displayed on the tuner screen.

To zero the cent value at any time, just press and hold the cursor wheel and the value will return to 00.0 cents.

2) then i need help understanding how to memorize my settings so that i have them in the unit.

1.Press the Menu button
2.Using the rotary dial, highlight "PROG SWT" (Program a Sweetener)
3.Press the top of the rotary dial, and rotate it until its pointing at an available user preset (if you've never programmed a Sweetener before, this will be S-1)
4.Press the top of the rotary dial once more and the note "C" will appear, enter a cent value by turning the rotary dial clock-wise for + cents or counter-clockwise for - cents.
5.Press the top of the rotary dial to advance to the next note of the chromatic scale, ignore notes that you don't need by pressing the top of the rotary dial to advance to the next note.
6.Repeat until all your desired cent values have been entered for the relevant notes, remembering that there are 13 programmable notes (there is a second E at the end of the sequence of notes)
7.The word "SAVE?" will appear when the last note has been programmed, press the save button to confirm.

You have now programmed your settings into the tuner.

To recall the Sweetener, press the Sweetener button and use the rotary dial to scroll to S-1 (/your selected user patch).
To add it as a preset for extra quick recall, press the save button and you will be prompted to
1. Delete it
2. Quit
3.Use it to replace an existing preset
4.Add it to your existing presets in sequence

Use the rotary dial to make your choice and press the save button to confirm and save.
