Scale Tune
The XV-5050 allows you to use temperaments other than equal temperament.
One set of Scale Tune settings can be created in Patch mode. In Performance mode, each Part can have its own Scale Tune settings.
* The selected scale applies to MIDI messages received from an external MIDI device as well as to local sound generation.

Key Scale C–B
<Equal Temperament>
This scale divides an octave into 12 equal parts using the tuning
system that is most widely used in Western music.
<Pure Temperament>
With this tuning, the three fundamental chords sound richer
compared to equal temperament. This effect only applies to one
key, and transposition can produce less-pleasing results.
<Arabian Scale>
In this scale, E and B are a quarter note lower, and C#, F# and G#
are a quarter-note higher compared to equal temperament. The
intervals between G and B, C and E, F and G#, Bb and C#, and Eb
and F# have a natural third-the interval between a major third and
a minor third. On the XV-5050, you can use Arabian temperament
in the three keys of G, C and F.
