GEN Other (General Other)
There are various parameters for Micro Tuning and for
controlling how the generated sound is output.
GENíOther) Mode
C 1234 poly
Mode
Select monophonic or polyphonic playback.
Select whether the Voice is played back
monophonically (single notes only) or
polyphonically (multiple simultaneous notes).
Settings: mono, poly
Assign
If you set Key Assign to "single," the doubled
playback of the same note is prevented. The
synthesizer will terminate a note when the same
note is received again. If you select "multi," the
synthesizer will consecutively assign each instance
of the same received note to a separate channel,
making multiple part tone generation possible.
Settings: single, multi
MicroTuning
Set the Micro Tuning (tuning system, or temperament) used
for the Voice. Normally you would use "Equal Temperament"
but there are also 31 other tuning systems available.

Comments
The "compromise" tuning used for most of
the last 200 years of Western music, and
found on most electronic keyboards. Each
half step is exactly 1/12 of an octave, and
music can be played in any key with equal
ease. However, none of the intervals are
perfectly in tune.
This tuning is designed so that most of the
intervals (especially the major third and
perfect fifth) in the major scale are pure. This
means that other intervals will be
correspondingly out of tune. You need to
specify the key (C~B) you will be playing in.
The same as Pure Major, but designed for
the minor scale.
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.
Johan Philipp Kirnberber was also
concerned with tempering the scale to allow
performances in any key.
Francescantonio Vallotti and Thomas Young
(both mid–1700s) divised this adjustment to
the Pythagorean tuning in which the first six
fifths are lower by the same amount.
This is the normal equal tempered scale
shifted up 50 cents.
Twenty–four equally spaced notes per
octave. (Play twenty–four notes to move one
octave.)
Forty–eight equally spaced notes per octave.
(Play forty–eight notes to move one octave.)
Usually observed in the Indian music (white
keys [C~B] only).
