This view provides two tuner modes: Strobe and Classic.

In Strobe mode, a colored moving strobe indicates any pitch deviation. If the played note is flat, the strobe moves from right to left. If the played note is sharp, the strobe moves from left to right. The higher the deviation in pitch, the faster the strobe moves. If you play the correct pitch, the strobe stops moving and turns gray.

In Classic mode, an indicator shows any pitch deviation. If the played note is flat, the indicator is located left of the middle. If the played note is sharp, the indicator is located right of the middle. If you play the correct pitch, the indicator is located in the middle and turns gray.
