• This will reset all settings, including any special tuning or range adjustments.

Using the Sticky Tone Feature on Your Cyber-Tone

Your Cyber-Tone Electronic Pitch Pipe includes the Sticky Tone feature, which allows a selected note to play continuously for up to 5 minutes. This is particularly useful for tuning instruments or providing a stable key reference for vocal groups during challenging musical passages.

Activating Sticky Tone

Quickly press the desired pitch 5 times in succession.

• The note will play continuously.

To stop the tone, simply turn off your Cyber-Tone by sliding the power switch to the Off position.

Micro-Tuning Your Cyber-Tone Electronic Pitch Pipe

The Cyber-Tone Electronic Pitch Pipe is factory-tuned to A=440 Hz in perfect equal temperament. However, there may be instances where you need to adjust a note sharper or flatter. With Micro-Tuning, you can individually fine-tune each note to within 1/100th of a semitone (cent), making it possible to customize your Cyber-Tone for specific musical needs. For example, orchestras often tune to A=442 Hz, which is 8 cents above A=440 Hz. A very good musician can begin to distinguish the difference between two pitches played successively if they are 5 or more cents apart. The Cyber-Tone is significantly more accurate than you can hear. You are only limited by your imagination here.

Steps to Micro-Tune a Note

Activate Sticky Tone mode for the note you want to tune:

• Quickly press the desired note 5 times in succession to begin continuous playback.

Enter Micro-Tuning mode:

• Hold F and E together for 3 seconds, then release.

Adjust the pitch as follows:

• Press F to raise the pitch by 1 cent.
• Press F# to raise the pitch by 10 cents.
• Press E to lower the pitch by 1 cent.
• Press E♭ to lower the pitch by 10 cents.

Save and exit Micro-Tuning™ mode:

• Slide the power switch to Off to save the changes. Your Cyber-Tone will retain these settings for future use.

Repeat for additional notes as needed.

Steps to Micro-Tune a Note

Resetting Notes:

• To reset all notes back to factory tuning, hold F – A – C – E together for 3 seconds while your Cyber-Tone is powered on. Turn it off to save the factory reset.

Tuning Range Limit:

• Each note can be tuned up to 100 cents sharp or flat.
• Alternatively, reset all notes to factory settings using the F – A – C – E method.
• Each note can be tuned up to 100 cents sharp or flat.

Check out our Pitch Calculator to help with translating between cents and frequency played.

Example:
If a note is tuned 95 cents sharp and you press F# again, the adjustment will stop at 100 cents sharp. To return to zero, press E♭ ten times.

Cyber-Tone was designed to be loud enough to hear in a large chorus setting. There is currently no volume setting. If you are needing a lower volume, we recommend a sticker over the speaker outlet.

Unfortunately, the Original Cyber-Tone Do does not have the new features of the Cyber-Tone Re and cannot be upgraded.

Cyber-Tone Do has black buttons and the Cyber-Tone Re has white buttons. This is the easiest way to see the difference.

If you are using a Cyber-Tone Do (black buttons), this issue is unlikely to occur.

For users of the Cyber-Tone Re (white buttons):

Enable pitches in Performance Mode:

Follow the instructions outlined in “How do I enable Performance Mode on my Cyber-Tone Re” to enable any pitches that have been turned off.

Or if all else fails, Reset to factory settings:

• Press and hold F – A – C – E simultaneously for 3 seconds (we recommend counting to 5).
• Turn off your Cyber-Tone to save the reset.

Your Cyber-Tone will now return to its original factory settings. If you continue to have a buttons that will not play, please contact us.
