Tuning determines the fine pitch setting of both the main voice and the bass/chord
accompaniment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs and
the Multi Pads. This allows you to accurately match the tuning with that of other
instruments. The Tuning settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 50 (approx. ±
0.5 semitones).
