Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments (Master Tuning)

When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other such instances, you can match the reference pitch with another instrument.
The reference pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that's played when you finger the middle A key. For a cleaner ensemble sound
while performing with one or more other instruments, ensure that each instrument's standard pitch is in tune with that of the other
instruments.
415 .3–440 .0–466 .2 Hz

Changing the Tuning System (Temperament)

You can play classical music such as baroque pieces using their original tuning.
Most modern songs are composed and played with the assumption that equal temperament (the most common tuning in use today) will
be used, but when classical music was composed, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems in existence. Playing a composition
with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer originally intended.
REFERENCE
For details, refer to "Temperaments" (p. 32).

Specifying a Song's Tonic (Temperament Key)

When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the temperament key for tuning the song to be performed
(that is, the note that corresponds to "Do" for a major key or to "La" for a minor key).
If you choose an equal temperament, there's no need to select a temperament key.
C–B
Lets you personalize your piano sound by adjusting various elements that affect the sound: the piano's physical strings, the
resonances produced by the pedals, the sound of hammers striking the strings, and more.
REFERENCE
For details, refer to "Personalizing Your Piano (Piano Designer)" (p. 31).
Lets you build an organ sound by adjusting footage volumes, percussion, and other settings.

For details, refer to "Creating a Tonewheel Organ Sound (Edit Tone Wheel)" (p. 33).

pitch of only the song, or the pitch of only the keyboard.
