StroboVUE Settings

Settings Screen

StroboVUE™ Settings Screen

Your StroboVUE has two screens of operation in which parameters can be adjusted. The Settings Screen allows for more detailed adjustment as well as system information.

To enter the Settings Screen, click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until the Gears Icon flashes. Then, click either the Plus (+) or Minus (-) Value button.

While viewing the Settings Screen, inaction will eventually revert back to the Tune Screen. However, after adjusting a parameter using the Value Plus (+) and Minus (-) buttons, inaction for just a few seconds will revert back to the Tune Screen. To actively return to the Tune Screen, click either the up or down Menu button until the Back Arrow Icon appears and EXIT scrolls on the right of the display. Then, click either the Plus (+) or Minus (-) Value button.

Within the Settings Screen, the following parameters are adjustable:

*Some factory presets may be switched to OFF by default.

In addition to the above parameters, you can view both the firmware and hardware version of your StroboVUE, as well as initiate a complete factory reset of your tuner.

Output Mode

The Output Mode of the Peterson StroboVUE is an Always-On Buffered Output.

NOTE: Unlike previous Peterson pedalboard tuners, the StroboVUE is designed as an always-on tuning monitor. It does not include a mute function, true bypass option, or the ability to turn the display off. The tuner features a buffered output at all times.

To adjust the following parameters, you must first be within the Settings Screen.

Changing The Global Display Color

Click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until the Palette Icon flashes. The word 'Global' will appear under the Palette Icon to denote that you are editing the Global Display Color. Use the Plus (+) or Minus (-) Value button to select 1 of 10 predefined colors. The Global Display Color will become the default Preset Display Color of ALL presets that have not been previously adjusted. Future adjustment of the Preset Display Color of individual presets via the Tune Screen will override the Global Display Color for that preset.

To quickly set your Global Display Color back to the default Orange color, click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until the Palette Icon flashes. Then, press the Menu Up (🔺) and Value Plus (+) buttons together.

Changing The Visibility of Presets



Individual presets can be shown or hidden in order to narrow the preset selection list. This allows you to customize your StroboVUE to only display presets that are relevant to you in order to avoid scrolling through over 130 Sweetener or Guided Tuning Presets. Click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until the 3 Character Preset Name Display flashes. Use the Plus ( + ) or Minus ( - ) Value button to select the name of the preset of which you would like to show or hide. Click the Menu Up (🔺) and Value Plus ( + ) buttons simultaneously to toggle the preset to ON. Click the Menu Down (🔺) and Value Minus ( - ) buttons simultaneously to toggle the preset to OFF . To toggle ALL presets ON, press and hold the Menu Up (🔺) and Value Plus ( + ) buttons together for around 3 seconds. The Strobe Bands will illuminate to indicate that all presets have been toggled ON. To toggle ALL presets OFF ( except for EQU ), press and hold the Menu Down (🔻) and Value Minus ( - ) buttons together for around 3 seconds. The Strobe Bands will illuminate to indicate that all presets have been toggled OFF.

For example, if you only ever use EQU, GTR and ACU, you could first turn ALL presets OFF and then toggle these 3 back ON individually.

NOTE: At least one preset must be set to ON. If you would like to hide EQU, set another preset to ON before doing so.

Changing The Octave Display Setting



Click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until the Octave Display Setting flashes. Use the Plus ( + ) or Minus ( - ) Value button to select ON or OFF. The Octave Display Setting shows or hides the Tuning Note Octave Number on the Tune Screen. To quickly set your Octave Display Setting back to the default ( OFF ), click either the up or down Menu button until the Octave Display Setting flashes. Then, press the Menu up and Value plus buttons together.

Changing The Accidentals Setting

Click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until the Accidentals Setting appears in the right of the display. Use the Plus (+) or Minus (-) Value button to select from 'SHP' ( Sharps ), 'FLT' ( Flats ), or 'BTH' which is a combination of commonly used enharmonic equivalents. The Accidentals Setting changes how the accidental is displayed beside the Note Name on the Tune Screen. To quickly set your Accidentals Setting back to the default ( 'SHP' Sharps ), click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until the Accidentals Setting scrolls. Then, press the Menu Up (🔺) and Value Plus (+) buttons together.

NOTE: If you have designed a custom sweetened or guided tuning through the use of Peterson Connect, you may have chosen an Accidentals Setting specifically for that tuning. Any accidental settings specific to a custom tuning will override the global setting.

Changing The Configuration

A Configuration is a collection of all the user-adjustable parameters that affect how your StroboVUE functions. This collection includes the parameters accessible in your settings screen as well as all of your presets. Out of the box, there is only one selectable configuration named 'dEF' ( Default ). You can add an additional configuration via the use of Peterson Connect ( see below ).

To change your Configuration, click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until Configuration appears in the right of the display. Use the Plus (+) or Minus (-) Value button to select from 'dEF' ( Default ) or the three letter name of a custom configuration that you may have downloaded from the Peterson website via the use of Peterson Connect, commonly 'USR' ( User ).

Another way to set your selected Configuration back to 'dEF' ( Default ) is to press the Menu Up (🔺) and Value Plus (+) buttons together after the Configuration label has scrolled and the current configuration is displayed.

NOTE: Changing the Configuration will also reset all user settings.

Resetting User Settings of Active Configuration

To reset ALL user-adjustable parameters of your Active Configuration back to their default values, click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until Configuration scrolls in the lower right of the display. Then, press the Menu Down (🔻) and Value Minus (-) buttons together. This will reset all of the settings and preset parameters of your active configuration back to their default values. The letters rSt will appear in the lower right of the display to confirm that changes have been made to your configuration.

Changing The Auto-Order Presets Setting

Click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until the Auto-Order Presets appears in the upper right of the displa. Use the Plus (+) or Minus (-) Value button to select ON or OFF. The Auto-Order Presets Setting changes whether or not your StroboVUE re-orders your presets based on those which you have most recently used.

To quickly set your Auto-Order Presets Setting back to the default ( ON ), click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until the Auto-Order Presets Setting scrolls. Then, press the Menu Up (🔺) and Value Plus (+) buttons together.

Viewing the Firmware and Hardware Versions

Click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until Hardware or Firmware is shown in the lower center of the display. The Hardware/Firmware version number will display in the lower right corner of the display.

Full Factory Reset

Factory Reset returns your StroboVUE to a complete 'out-of-the-box' state. All presets are reset, adjusted Settings Screen parameters are set back to default and any additional user configuration data that has been added is erased. Click either the up or down Menu button until the Factory Reset Label flashes in the lower center of the display. Click either the Plus ( + ) or Minus ( - )Value button to initiate a Factory Reset.

A timer will begin counting down. When the countdown is complete, your StroboVUE will be set to factory default. Clicking any of the 4 buttons will cancel the Factory Reset.
