• Tuning is the relationship between the pitches in a musical instrument. Instruments
need to be "tuned" and a synthesizer is no different. By tuning instruments, you can
create "melodies" that are recognizable.
• The tuning dial on the oscillator Bits module will alter the relationship between
pitches. This will be important when using the keyboard and micro sequencer.
