Selecting A Scale - Casio CDP-S160 User Manual

■ To change the tuning setting
1.
While holding down 3 FUNCTION, perform
steps (1) through (3) below.
• If a key operation during steps (1) through (3) would cause
the setting to exceed its upper or lower maximum limit, a
high and then low beep will sound to indicate that the
setting cannot be changed further.
(1) Press the TUNE– keyboard key (G5) or the TUNE+
keyboard key (A}5).
• Pressing the TUNE– key (G5) will lower the
current pitch setting by 0.1 Hz, while pressing
TUNE+ (A}5) will raise it by 0.1 Hz.
• If you just want to fine tune the current pitch
setting, go directly to step (3) below.
(2) To input a pitch value, use the [0] (E4) through [9]
(C{5) keyboard keys to input an integer that
specifies the frequency (Hz) of the A4 note.
• For example, to specify a frequency of 442 Hz,
press keyboard keys in the following sequence:
[4] (A}4) 3 [4] (A}4) 3 [2] (F{4). Inputting the
third and final digit will cause a short and then long
beep to sound, indicating that the value you input
was applied.
• You can specify a value in the range of 416
through 465 Hz.
(3) To fine tune by 0.1 Hz increments, press the TUNE–
keyboard key (G5) to lower the pitch by 0.1 Hz or the
TUNE+ keyboard key (A}5) to raise the pitch by
0.1 Hz.
• Each press of the keyboard key causes a beep to
sound. The beep becomes higher whenever a key
operation causes the setting value to become an
integer.
• You can specify a value in the range of 415.5
through 465.9 Hz.
• To return to the initial default setting, hold down
the keyboard TUNE– (G5) and TUNE+ (A}5) keys
at the same time until a long beep sounds.

Selecting a Scale

You can change the scale (tuning system) of the keyboard
from standard equal temperament to another tuning that is
more suitable for playing Indian music, Arabic music, classical
pieces, etc.
• When you select any temperament other than "Equal", you
must also configure a base note setting.
• For details about temperament, refer to a book that covers
music theory.
