Convenient Functions
Temperament
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic
temperaments (tuning methods).
Today, compositions are generally created with equal
temperament in mind and are played using equal temperament.
However in past ages of classical music, a variety of
temperaments were used. By playing in the temperament that
was in use when a composition was created, you can experience
the sonorities of chords originally intended for that song.
Setting Description
This temperament divides the octave into 12
Equal equal parts. All intervals will be slightly out
of tune by the same amount.
This temperament makes the 5th and 3rd
intervals pure. It is unsuitable for playing
Just Major
melodies and modulation is not possible, but
it produces beautifully harmonious chords.
Just intonation differs between major and
Just Minor minor keys. The same results as major can be
obtained in a minor key.
This tuning is suitable for the music of
Arabic
Arabia.
This temperament is a modification of
meantone temperament and just intonation,

allowing more freedom of modulation. It
allows you to play in all keys (third method).
This temperament is based on the theories of
the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, and has
Pythagorean pure fourths and fifths. Chords containing a
third will sound impure, but melodies will
sound good.
This temperament is a partial compromise of
Meantone
just intonation in order to allow modulation.
This temperament is a combination of
meantone and Pythagorean temperaments.
Werkmeister

method, number three.)
Key
When playing in a temperament other than equal temperament,
you must specify the tonic (the note corresponding to C for a
major key, or to A for a minor key) of the key in which you will
play.
If you have selected equal temperament, it is not necessary to
select the tonic.
