Adjusting The Reference Pitch - Master Tuning - Roland pt-2000 Owner's Manual

Adjusting the Reference Pitch
— Master Tuning
In situations such as when playing in ensemble with other
instruments, you can adjust the pt-2000's reference pitch to
that of another instrument.
Middle A is generally used as the standard reference pitch
for tuning instruments. When performing in ensemble with
other instruments, the ensemble will not sound good if the
instruments are not in tune with each other. This tuning of all
the instruments to a reference pitch is called "Master
Tuning."
The reference pitch is reset to 440 Hz when the power is switched
on, with 440 Hz played by Middle A (A4).
