Micro Tuning Type
No. Type Key Comments
00 Equal The "compromise" tuning used for
temperament most of the last 200 years of West-
ern music, and found on most elec-
tronic 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.
01~12 Pure major C~B 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 corre-
spondingly out of tune. You need to
specify the key (C~B) you will be
playing in.
13~24 Pure minor A~G# The same as Pure Major, but
designed for the minor scale.
25 Werckmeister Andreas Werckmeiser, a contempo-
rary of Bach, designed this tuning
so that keyboard instruments could
be played in any key. Each key has a
unique character.
26 Kirnberger Johann Philipp Kirnberger was also
concerned with tempering the scale
to allow performances in any key.
27 Vallotti & Francescatonio Vallotti and Thomas
Young Young (both mid-1700s) devised
this adjustment to the Pythagorean
tuning in which the first six fifths
are lowered by the same amount.
28 1/4 shifted This is the normal equal tempered
scale shifted up 50 cents.
29 1/4 tone Twenty-four equally spaced notes
per octave. (Play twenty-four notes
to move one octave.)
30 1/8 tone Forty-eight equally spaced notes
per octave. (Play forty-eight notes
to move one octave.)
31 Indian C~B Usually observed in Indian music
(white keys [C~B] only).

If you transpose beyond the note range limits
(C-2 and G8), notes in the adjacent octaves
will be used. For example, a transposed note
of F9 will be changed to F8.

These settings depend on the particular Plug-
in board; refer to the relevant owner's manual
for details.
*11
You can also create a lower and an upper
range with a "hole" in the middle, by
specifying the highest note first. For example,
setting a Note Limit of "C5 - C4" lets you play
the element from two separate ranges: C-2 to
C4 and C5 to G8. Notes played between C4
and C5 do not play the selected element/part/
zone.
*12
You can also set the range directly from the
keyboard, by holding down the
[INFORMATION] button and pressing the
desired low and high keys.
Guide Quick Section Basics
*13
You can also create separate low and high
ranges, with a velocity "hole" in the middle,
by specifying the maximum value first. For
example, setting a Velocity Limit of 93 - 34 lets
you play the element from two separate
velocity ranges: soft (1 - 34) and hard (93 -
127). Notes played at middle velocities
between 35 and 92 do not play the selected
element/part/zone.

When you have selected "voice" here, some
parameters cannot be set.
*15
You can also adjust this parameter using the
Control slider on the front panel (Common edit).
*16
In Drum Key edit, this is available only when
Insertion Effect Output (above) is set to "thru."
*17
This parameter is effective for Waves (pre
wav) selected in the [F1] - [SF1] Drum Key
Oscillator Wave display (Drum Key edit).
*18
If a Normal voice has been assigned to the key,
this parameter adjusts the position of its note
(not its pitch) relative to note C3. For
example, let's assume the original Voice
consists of a two-Element piano-like sound up
to note C3 and a two-Element string-like
sound from note C#3 upwards. Adjusting this
Coarse setting by +1 would not change the
pitch of the piano-like sound to C#3. Instead,
note C#3 of the original Voice (i.e., the string-
like sound) would be used.
