Pitch Control; Tuning Up; Tuning Down; To Restore Standard Pitch - Yamaha YDP-88II Owner's Manual

Pitch Control

Pitch control makes it possible to tune the YDP-88II over a 50-cent range
(approximate) in approximately 1.6-cent intervals. A hundred "cents" equals one
semitone, so the tuning range provided allows fine tuning of overall pitch over a
range of approximately a semitone. Pitch control is useful for tuning the YDP-
88II to match other instruments or recorded music.
