TERMINOLOGY
Hz (Hertz):
This unit of measurement refers to the frequency of a sound
and represents the number of times a sound wave vibrates in
a second.
You can also use the keyboard to set the pitch (in any
mode other than Function mode).
To tune up (in about 0.2Hz steps): Hold the A-1 and B-1
keys (two white keys at the left end) simultaneously and
press any key between C3 and B3.
To tune down (in about 0.2Hz steps): Hold the A-1 and A -1
keys (a white and a black key at the left end) simultaneously
and press any key between C3 and B3.
To restore standard pitch: Hold the A-1, A -1 and B-1 (two
white keys and one black key at the left end) simultaneously
and press any key between C3 and B3.
