Common
Naming a Patch (Name)
Before you save the patch, here's how to give it a new name.
1. Use the CURSOR buttons to move the cursor to
the location where you want to enter a
character.
2. Turn the VALUE knob to specify the desired
character.
By turning the VALUE knob while pressing it, you can
conveniently shift between uppercase characters,
lowercase characters, numerals, symbols, and spaces.
3. When you have finished inputting, press the
VALUE knob to finalize the patch name.

ing scale other than equal temperament.
The VC-2 allows you to play the keyboard
using temperaments other than equal tem-
perament. The pitch is specified in one-
cent units relative to the equal tempered
pitch.

Equal Temperament
This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and is
the most widely used method of temperament used in
Western music. The V-Synth employs equal temperament
when the Scale Tune Switch is set to "OFF."
Just Temperament (Tonic of C)
Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads
sound pure in this tuning. However, this effect is
achieved only in one key, and the triads will become
ambiguous if you transpose.
Arabian Scale
In this scale, E and B are a quarter note lower and C#, F#
and G# are a quarter-note higher compared to equal
temperament. The intervals between G and B, C and E, F
and G#, Bb and C#, and Eb and F# have a natural third-
the interval between a major third and a minor third. On
the V-Synth, you can use Arabian temperament in the
three keys of G, C and F.
