Tuning
2
Move the cursor to Tune, then set the value.
In this example, we'll change the value from "440 Hz" to "442
Hz." Since the Tune parameter is actually adjusted in cents
(1 cent = 1/100th of a semitone), the corresponding value in
Hertz is shown at right. Since 1 Hz is roughly equivalent to 4
cents, set this value to "+8.0."

setting.

Transpose

This function allows the overall pitch of the MOTIF XF to be
transposed up or down in semitone increments/decrements.
You can play the same notes on the keyboard even when the
pitch of the song is shifted up or down in semitones.

Press the [UTILITY] button to enter the Utility
mode, press the [F1] button, then press the [SF1]
button to call up the Play display as shown.

Move the cursor to Transpose, then set the value.
Set the value to "+1" to transpose the pitch up by a
semitone, or set it to "-1" to transpose it down by a semitone.
To transpose it up or down by a whole tone, set this to "+/-2";
to transpose by an octave, set it to "+/-12."
NOTE
To transpose by octaves, use the Octave parameter (above
