Transposition And Pitch Control (Tuning) - Yamaha pf85 Authorized Product Manual

TRANSPOSITION AND
PITCH CONTROL (TUNING)
TRANSPOSITION
This feature allows you to change the key of the entire in-
strument in half-step (semitone) increments.
To change the transposition setting, hold down the
TRANSPOSE/MIDI button and press one of the keys be-
tween F#5 and F6. The PF85 will be transposed by an interval
corresponding to the interval between C6 and the key pressed.
NOTE: The normal playing key is automatically selected
when the PF85 power is turned on.
PITCH CONTROL
This feature allows you to finely adjust the pitch of the entire
instrument in 3-cent increments (a cent equals 1/100th of a
half-step). This allows you to match the tuning of the PF85
to that of accompanying instruments or tapes.
To raise the pitch, simultaneously hold down the two lowest
white keys and press any key between C3 (Middle C) and
B3 (B above Middle C). Each strike of the key raises the pitch
by 3 cents.
To lower the pitch, execute the same procedure while holding
down the lowest white key and lowest black key.
Tuning can be adjusted up to a maximum of ±51 cents.
Thus, in combination with the Transposition function, the
PF85 can be set to any pitch within a one-octave range.
NOTE: Concert pitch (A3 = 440 Hz) is automatically se-
lected when the PF85 power is turned on.
