The "compromise" tuning used for most of the last 200 years of Western
music, and found on most electronic keyboards.
Each half step is exactly 1/12 of an octave, and music can be played in any
key with equal ease. However, none of the intervals are perfectly in tune.
This tuning is designed so that most of the intervals (especially the major
third and perfect fifth) in the major scale are pure.
This means that other intervals will be correspondingly out of tune.
You need to specify the key (C - B) you will be playing in as the Micro
Tuning Root parameter.
