Pure major/minor intonation
This tuning is based on the perfect tuning of the seven notes of one
scale (e.g. C major). Triads played one fifth above or below are also
perfect, since they use the notes of the basic key. However, all other
keys are not playable, since their frequency relationships change
depending on the basic note.
This tuning can only be used for music that strictly follows a
classical cadence comprising tonic, dominant and subdominant.
•
Pythagorean tuning
The Pythagorean tuning is based on perfect fifths. As a
consequence, all thirds are impure.
This tuning was used for early music up to the late Middle Ages. The
homophonic or two-part polyphonic music of the time did not use
any thirds, but only perfect unison, fourth, fifth and octave intervals.
•
Meantone tuning
Meantone tuning resulted from the change in the perception of
dissonant intervals during the Renaissance period and from the
beginnings of chromaticism and polyphony. Polyphony made the
third the most important interval in music. Therefore, meantone
tuning is based on perfect thirds rather than perfect fifths to tune
the twelve notes of a scale. However, this also means that some
scales are unplayable.
Today, the meantone tuning can still be used for works from the
early 16th and 17th centuries (e.g. G. F. Handel).
•
Werckmeister/Kirnberger tuning
The Werkmeister and Kirnberger tunings result from first attempts
to realize a well-tempered tuning which – unlike the Pythagorean
and meantone tunings – allows for playing in all twelve keys. The
advantages of the Pythagorean and meantone tunings, i.e. the
slight detuning of some fifth intervals, have also been included in
the Werkmeister/Kirnberger tunings.
Both tunings are interesting to use for works from the baroque
period (e.g. J. S. Bach). Werkmeister is a popular tuning for
organ works.
The following section describes how to change the tuning of the
CDP2400USB.

With the exception of equal tuning, all tunings must be marked by
a basic note.
Here's how to set the basic note:
Function:
E2. 2
Value:
C . . . B
Description:
Altered notes are marked by dashes above or below the note name.
A dash above the note name raises a note, a dash below the note
lowers it.
The display shows:
c sharp (C # )
c-:
e - : e flat (E )

Saving parameter settings

The CDP2400USB allows you to save the changes made to the
instrument's settings, so that they won't get lost when the unit is
powered down. When the save function is not active, all changes
made to the settings – except for the music sequencer data – will
be lost when you switch the piano off. When switched back on, the
CDP2400USB recalls the factory default settings.
The save function can be activated separately for the following
groups of functions: sounds, MIDI, tuning and damper pedal.
