Determines the pitch of each keyboard part.

Determines the range of the pitch change in octaves, over two octaves up or down for each keyboard part.
3 Portamento Time
Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard
to the next. The Portamento Time determines the pitch transition time. Higher values result in a longer
pitch change time. Setting this to "0" results in no effect. This parameter is available when the selected
keyboard part is set to Mono
This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which
were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The
main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale
was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is
often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.
Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.
Determines the base note for each scale. When the base note is changed,
the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch
relationship between the notes.
Select the desired note to be tuned by using the [3 ] buttons and tune
it in cents by using the [4 ] buttons.
In musical terms a "cent" is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.)
Determines whether the Scale Tune setting is applied to each part or not.
