ORIGINAL tuning
Each instrument of each sound has its own original tuning
data. This setting affects the tuning curve that spans the en-
tire keyboard. So, for example, the acoustic piano-type
sounds duplicate those of a real piano, in that the high notes
are tuned slightly higher and the low notes slightly lower.
You can specify for each part whether this original tuning is
enabled or not.
