The CN piano offers not only equal temperament (the modern standard)
but also immediate access to temperaments popular during the
Renaissance and Baroque periods. It should be interesting and educational
to try some of the different temperaments, although the equal temperament
is dominant today.
Press MODERN PIANO button while holding down the TOUCH and
the TRANSPOSE to change the temperament. The LED display
shows the symbol that indicates which type of temperament is in
use.
To switch from one temperament to another, use the VALUE buttons.
After you have selected the desired temperament, please read the following
section on selecting a key signature for the temperament before
continuing.
