Changing the Keyboard's Tuning
—Tuning
You can select the tuning of the keyboard.
@ Stretch Tuning
"Stretch Tuning" is a method of tuning unique to pianos.
Compared with equal tuning, pitches in a piano's lower
range are adjusted lower, and in the upper range the
pitch is adjusted higher. When the power is turned on,
the piano tuning is set to "ON."
@ Temperament
"Temperament" is another method of tuning. With it
you can perform Baroque and Classical pieces with the
tuning of those periods.
1. When you press <Tuning>, a screen like the one
shown below will appear in the display.

2. Set the Stretch Tuning ON/OFF with the buttons to
the left of the display.
The following shows the relationship of the Stretch
Tuning ON/OFF and the type of tuning:
ON: Like an acoustic piano, the lower range is tuned a
little low, and the upper range a little high.
OFF : All pitches are tuned equal.
Temperament
2. Set the tuning method with the buttons to the right
of the display.
You can choose from the following seven types of tuning.
EQUAL
The most common kind of tuning today. In this tuning,
an octave is divided into twelve equal parts.
PYTHAGOREAN
Uses the Pythagorean scale. Devised by Pythagoras,
the fourth and fifth are kept from becoming ambigu-
ous in this tuning.
JUST (MAJOR)
In this tuning, the third and fifth are kept from becom-
ing too ambiguous.
JUST (MINOR)
With this tuning you can achieve the same effect in a
minor key that you do in a major key.
MEAN TONE
A partial compromise of the Just (Major) tuning, to
make transposition possible.
WERCKMEISTER
A combination of mean tone and Pythagorean tunings.
KIRNBERGER
An improvement of the mean tone and Just (Major)
tunings, it is a tuning which allows greater freedom of
transposition.
When performing with these alternative tunings, you
need to specify the fundamental tones (the root for a
major tuning, the sixth for minor) to match the key of the
song you are performing.
When you are performing ensemble with another instru-
ment, please tune to the fundamental tones of that
instrument.
3. Set the Keynote by pressing the Key while holding
down <Tuning>, when you wish to choose any other
temperament than EQUAL.
* When you make tuning changes, it affects the tuning of all
of the sounds, including those on disk.
Repeatedly Playing Back the Same
Section—The Marker Function
When playing back music data or performances you
have recorded, you can mark places you want to play
back over and over. At the touch of a button, you can go
to a marked point, or even have a section repeat auto-
matically.
Marks are placed at the beginning of measures.
This feature is very convenient when, while playing
Minus-One Play, you want to practice difficult passages
by repeating them over and over. This function is called
the "Marker" function.
1. Press <Marker>.
The "Marker Screen, like the one shown below, will
appear in the display.

Playing Back From a Marked Location
You can place marks at two locations in a song. When
you put a marker in a song, playback will start from the
beginning of the measure where the marker is put.
Ex. : Going to the fifth measure and starting playback.
