El Temperaments
Make sure that the piano is in the programming mode.
Press one of the seven white keys at the lower end of the keyboard to select one
of these corresponding temperaments.
6) @
@ Equal temperament without the tuning curve
@Mersenne pure temperament
@ Pythagorean temperament
@ Meantone temperament
® Werckmeister III temperament
© Kirnberger III temperament
@ Equal temperament with the tuning curve
Leave the programming mode.
When the power is first applied or reapplied after a short break, the piano
returns to the modern standard (equal temperament with the tuning
curve = #7).
Key set function is also available at this point. As you know, limitless modulation of
the key became available only after the invention of Equal temperament. When we
use a temperament other than Equal temperament, we must carefully choose the
key signature to play in.
To select the key signature setting, simply press one of the keys. For example, if
the song you are going to play is written in D major, press D key to set the keys.
Please note that this will only change the "balance" of the tuning, and the pitch of
the keyboard will remain unchanged. Use the TRANSPOSE control to change the
pitch of the whole keyboard.
