Selecting A Temperament; Storing Your Settings; Restoring The Factory Settings - Korg CONCERT C-3200 Owner's Manual

8. Selecting a temperament

Many classical compositions were originally composed
using various temperaments. So that you can reproduce
the original sound of these compositions, the C-3200 lets
you select two types of historical temperament,
Kirnberger and Werckmeister, as well as the Equal
Temperament that is used on most keyboard instruments
today.
Werckmeister
This is the Werckmeister III temperament created by
the German organist and music theorist, Andreas
Werckmeister. This temperament was created in the
late Baroque era to allow relatively free modulation
between keys.
Kirnberger
This is the Kirnberger III temperament created by
Johann Philip Kirnberger in the early 18th century.
This is used mainly for tuning harpsichords.
Equal temperament
This is the system of tuning used on virtually all
keyboard instruments today. Since all semitones are
spaced at equal intervals, you can play identical
scales in any key.
To change the temperament
• Hold down the Touch switch and press the
Harpsichord or Pipe Organ sound selector
switch.
To return to equal temperament
• Hold down the Touch switch and press the
sound selector switch whose indicator is lit.
The indicator will go dark.
You can also return to equal temperament by turning
the power off and on again.
Piano 1 and Piano 2 sounds use stretched tuning.
This is a method of tuning in which the lower
range is tuned slightly flatter and the upper range
is tuned slightly sharper than the equal tempered
pitches, in order to produce a more natural-
sounding resonance.

9. Storing your settings

The preceding pages of this manual have described how
various settings can be adjusted to suit your own play-
ing. If you want to, you can store the settings listed
below so that they will be recalled by the C-3200 the next
time the power is turned on.
A single operation stores all of the following settings:
* Brilliance
For each sound (when Layered, for each combination
of sounds)
* Reverb
For each sound (when Layered, for each combination
of sounds)
* Chorus
For each sound (when Layered, for each combination
of sounds)
* Layer volume
For each combination of sounds
* Layer octave
For each combination of sounds
* Pedal settings for Layer/Split
For each combination of sounds
* Fine pitch adjustment
* Metronome volume
* Metronome sound for strong beats
* Volume balance of each part when playing back
performance data
Even if you erase the performance data you
recorded, the playback volume balance settings
for each part will not be erased. When you record
performance data, the volume balance of the parts
will follow the previously-stored settings, so you
will need to adjust the volume balance settings or
store them once again if necessary.
• Hold down the Transpose/Function switch and
press the Record switch

10. Restoring the factory settings

You may decide that you want to return the C-3200 to the
original factory settings.
This procedure will not erase what you played into the
recorder, but will restore all other settings to their factory
condition. If you want to erase the data in the recorder,
refer to "3. Erasing the performance data" ( p.18).
Before you perform the following procedure, be
sure that you really want to restore the factory
settings.
1. Turn off the power.
2. Hold down the C8 key (the highest C note) on
the keyboard, and turn on the power.
The factory settings will be restored, and the switch
LEDs will light rapidly from left to right.
