• Equal Temperament
This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and
is the most widely used method of temperament used in
Western music. The V-Synth employs equal
temperament when the Scale Tune Switch is set to
"OFF."
• Just Temperament (Tonic of C)
Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads
sound pure in this tuning. However, this effect is
achieved only in one key, and the triads will become
ambiguous if you transpose.
• Arabian Scale
In this scale, E and B are a quarter note lower and C#,
F# and G# are a quarter-note higher compared to equal
temperament. The intervals between G and B, C and E,
F and G#, Bb and C#, and Eb and F# have a natural
third—the interval between a major third and a minor
third. On the V-Synth, you can use Arabian
temperament in the three keys of G, C and F.

ment.
The V-Synth allows you to play the keyboard using temperaments other than
equal temperament. The pitch is specified in one-cent units relative to the
equal tempered pitch.
One-cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
The selected scale applies to MIDI messages received from an external
MIDI device.
-100– +100 Makes scale tune settings.
