IntonatKey
Use the IntonatKey parameter to set the tonic (or base note) from which the currently
selected intonation map calculates its intervals. If you select G as the intonation key, for
example, and the intonation map you select tunes the minor 2nd down by 50 cents, then
G# will be a quartertone flat relative to equal intonation. If you change the intonation key to
D, then D# will be a quartertone flat. If you use nonstandard intonations, you'll want to set
IntonatKey to the key you're playing in.
If the Intonation parameter is set to Equal, changing IntonatKey has no effect.
Local Chan
The Local Chan parameter enables an external MIDI keyboard to function as if it is the SP6's
keyboard and physical controllers. This allows all Channels/Zones of a Multi to be played
simultaneously from an external MIDI keyboard transmitting on a single MIDI channel
(or a single MIDI channel of a sequencer), with split and layered Zones laid out across the
external MIDI keyboard. To do this, set Local Chan to the same MIDI channel that your
external MIDI keyboard or sequencer is transmitting.
The perfect 4th, Tritone, and Dominant 7th are heavily flatted.
Approximation of a historical intonation.
Named for its inventor, Andreas Werkmeister, it was developed to enable
transposition with less dissonance than classic equal temperament.
Approximation of a historical intonation based on the comma system.
Approximation of a historical intonation based on the comma system.
Based on the tunings for traditional Indian music.

Based on the pentatonic scale of Balinese and Javanese music.
A variation on BaliJava1, slightly more subtle overall.
A more extreme variation.
Based on the Chinese pentatonic scale.
Developed by Wendy Carlos, an innovator in microtonal tunings, this
intonation map flats each interval increasingly, resulting in an octave with
quarter-tone intervals.
This is a Pythagorean tuning, based on the Greek pentatonic scale. The
tritone is 12 cents sharp.
