Tune Master
Pitch
(press
SW3
three
times)
dot indicating negative tuning setting
As
shown
in
the
SETTING
UP
section,
the
Tune
Master
Pitch
sub-mode
lets
you
alter
the pitch of
an
individual
module.
All
32 voices
will
be equally
modified-
-it
is
not possible
to
tune an
individual voice.
The
tuning
is
indicated
by
numbers
ranging
from -64
to
+63. Each increment
changes
the pitch
by
1
.2
cents
(a
cent
=
1
/1
00
of a
semitone) so
the overall
range
available
is
about
+/-
75
cents.
This allows you
to finely
tune the
TX816
to
any
accompanying
instruments, or
detune
individual
modules
to create pleasing natural
chorus
effects,
making
the
FM
voices
sound even
richer
and more
authentic.
Thorough
investigation of
this
feature
will
prove very rewarding.
SW1
raises
(sharpens) the
pitch
by
single
increments
if
pressed,
and
rapidly
if
held
