I have my guitar in SUPER tune right now and I want to put my settings in my Strobo Flip.
Do I hook it up to the guitar and get my readings and then hit enter or can I do it differently?
I think someone has explained this before so I am sorry to bother you all with this.
I believe the Strobo only allows for one setting for eash note.
Does anyone just hook up the tuner to the tuner out jack on the back of the Steel King?
Thank you all

Hi Robert,Hold down PROG button while you turn the tuner on. Use the up and down arrows botton to choose T-1. Press PROG button once more to begain. The C will be the first note. Use the Arrow button to enter desired offset value if any for the C. To advance to net note press PROG and enter value setting for the next note using the arrow button again. Repeat untill all settings are entered. To save setting press save button twice then PROG and your done Hope thus helps. Billy

| I've been wondering about this too. So is the only way to check how many cents offset you prefer the note to be, then enter that amount? Is there a function that lets you play a note into the tuner and record that value automatically? |

not on the peterson Nathan
you have to enter the value of the note yourself by dialing it in first, writting it down & then program all the notes in your tuning
i use the stroborack - i imagine the flip is similar
i got help from John Norris at peterson
quite a helpful man
this is what he wrote :
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. |

I have been off looking in the archives for this info and there is lots of good info out there.
Don Sulesky explained it well,as did CrowBear and Billy..thank you guys
So the answer is NO..you don't put your settings in the Strobo while it is plugged into the guitar.
You get the settings for each string and write it down...then you put them in the Strobo using the method described by the good boys previously mentioned.
Thank you again

| If you have a friend with a Korg or something with a needle on it it might be easier to write down the plus/minus from it.... then put it in the Stroboflip. |

Thank you guys..
I have a Boss tu-12 also. I just love this tuning stuff and I have been playing with the tuning for hours. Writing stuff down and checking everything using the harmonics method.
Its amazing how much time one can spend on this tuning stuff...days and days
Well..After a while I was satisfied with my tuning and I thought that I would check it with the Newman settings in my strobo flip....and what do you know.....they were very close..
I think that the guys using the Newman settings are very close and it is a great help for a new guy to have these settings in the tuner...it makes it very easy.
Just to let everyone know..I am not an experienced guitar tuner ,so don't go by anything that I say. I just thought I would mention my findings on this preset tuning in the Strobo Flip.
All the best
Bob

if i may, Jeff's settings have been a standard for many but
since each psg has it's own specific cabinet drop, i would suggest you check this thread out
http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=164485
& verify your own steel's cabinet drop first & use the link on the thread to get your own settings
all in all, tuning by harmonics is the way to go
those who have a peterson tuner or a similar deepvice, can program according to the results they will have found on that thread & link
if you do find it satisfactory (or not) please feel free to post there
