Pitch Control; Tuning Up; Tuning Down; To Restore Standard Pitch - Yamaha Clavinova CLP-124 Owner's Manual

Pitch Control

Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a 50-cent range in approximately
1.2-cent intervals. A hundred "cents" equals one semitone, so the tuning range provided allows
fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone. Pitch control is useful for
tuning the Clavinova to match other instruments or recorded music.

* Standard pitch (A3 = 440 Hz) is set when the [POWER] switch is ini-

by pressing the C7 key while still holding the A-1/B-1, A-1/A#-1, or A-
C

1/A#-1/B-1 key combinations after setting the desired pitch.
Settings changed in this way are retained in internal memory for approxi-
mately one week if the power is not turned on during that time. If the
backup period is exceeded, the original factory setting is restored. To
keep the memorized settings for longer periods, turn the power on briefly
at least once a week.
Note: The PITCH CONTROL function has no effect when LOCAL OFF is active
(see "MIDI FUNCTIONS," page 18).
