what exactly is your problem with tuning flat?
You have to tune all strings a half step down (E->Eb). Does You Tuner not show you half step pitch? I thought Korg Tuners have a little button called "flat", so you push it and tune like you did before. --------------------  Gear: - Jackson USA Select KV2 King V with EMG 81/85 - Gibson Les Paul Custom Arctic White with EMG 81/85 - Ibanez Rg 8527 J Custom 7-String with DiMarzio Evolution and Air Norton - Peavey 6505+ head with Marshall 1960AV 4x12 cab - Peavey Vypyr 30 Practice Amp - Dunlop Crybaby From Hell, Maxon OD808, Boss TU-2, MXR CarbonCopy, ISP Decimator, MXR Custom Audio Electronics Booster |

I have a korg tuner but I've never played with the buttons on it so It's possible ZakkWylde can be right about that -------------------- Ibanez GRX20 Jewel Blue

QUOTE (ace_frehely @ Jul 11 2007, 11:59 PM) im having difficulty tuning to flat!!! Is the the Korg CA-30? I have that tuner. If you look at the picture on the Amazon page, the note letter's on the upper right side of the display. If you take that A and start tuning down, the 'needle' starts moving to the left. Eventually, the A will change to Ab and the needle will flip to the right side of the meter. Keep tuning down til it sits in the middle position again. -------------------- Guitars: ESP Semi-Hollow Eclipse, 1984 Ibanez Roadstar RS440, Peavey T-60, Daisy Rock Rock Candy Custom

With my Korg GA-30 tuner you press the "b" button once. One "b" will be shown in the display. Now you tune as usual i.e hit the E string and when in tune the display will show "E" (not Eb)
Same thing is you want to tune down a full step, you press "b" two times "bb" should be shown in the display. Hit the E string and when in tune the display will show "E" (not D) So everytime you should get E B G D A E no matter how much you tune down. If that helps, mayby you got another Korg tuner than me.
