Utility Functions
The functions in this group apply to a wide range of functions and features.
The Individual Key Tuning Feature makes it possible to individually tune each key on the CVP-89 keyboard in order to
match different tuning standards. The pitch of each key can be raised or lowered by a maximum of 50 cents (approximately)
from the standard pitch.

Select the Individual Key Tuning function — see "Selecting & Using the Utility
Functions", page 42. "NO/YES" will flash on the display. Press the TEMPO [s] but-
ton (YES) to engage the Individual Key Tuning function, or the [t] button (NO) to
cancel. Once you've pressed the TEMPO [s] button to engage the function you can
release the [UTILITY] button.
First, use the [TAP] and [METRONOME] buttons to select either "ON (UP)" if
you want to raise the pitch of a key or "ON (DOWN)" if you want to lower the pitch of
a key.
Press the key to be tuned once to display the current tuning value on the display.
"0" indicates normal pitch, positive values indicate that pitch has been increased by the
corresponding number of steps (about 1.2 cents per step), and negative ("-") values
indicate that pitch has been lowered by the corresponding number of steps.
Subsequent presses on the key selected in the previous step tune the key in the
specified "(UP)" or "(DOWN)" direction — one 1.2-cent step per press. The highest
and lowest possible values are "+44" and "-44", respectively. The TEMPO [s] and
[t] keys can also be used to tune as required: [s] to tune up and [t] to tune down.
To tune a different key, repeat steps X through V, above. To exit from the Indi-
vidual Key Tuning function, press the [UTILITY] button.
