Micro Tuning Edit - Yamaha SY99 Owner's Manual

50 Werckmeister: Andreas Werckmeister, a
contemporary of Bach, designed this tuning so
that keyboard instruments could be played in
any key. Each key has a unique character.
51 Kirnberger: Johan Philipp Kimberber was
also concerned with tempering the scale to allow
performances in any key.
52 Vallotti & Young: Francescantonio Vallotti
and Thomas Young (both mid-1700s) devised
this adjustment to the Pythagorean tuning in
which the first six fifths are lower by the same
amount.
53 1/4 shifted equal: This is the normal equal
tempered scale shifted up 50 cents.
54 1/4 tone: Twenty-four equally spaced notes
per octave. (Play twenty-four notes to move one
octave.)
55 1/8 tone: Forty-eight equally spaced notes
per octave. (Play forty-eight notes to move one
octave.)
56 JustAdjust: This is a special tuning used to
make fine adjustments in the pitch of an AWM
waveform.
57 Big Chord: The pitch is adjusted down one
octave for every 8 half notes, allowing chords to
be played anywhere without becoming overly
heavy.
