How to change the Root Note in
JUST Temperament
When the Just Temperament is selected, you are
required to change the root note depending on the
key of the music currently being performed. The
Roland Harpsichord allows you to change root notes
easily using the Temperament Button and a key on
the keyboard(in any sound range), The necessary
procedure differs in a major or minor key as follows.

* When a Temperament other than JUST is selected, the root
notes can be changed in the same way. (Except for EQUAL.) In
that case, however, there is no difference for the major and
minor keys.

The root note you have set here will remain even after another
Temperament is selected.
* When a Temperament other than JUST is selected for
ensamble playing with other instruments, the pitch of a root
may be slightly detuned. It is necessary to tune the
Harpsichord to the other musical instruments.
