Each press of [W] will lower the pitch of the note
"E" by one cent. Keep in mind that a one cent change
in pitch is virtually imperceptible. These one cent
changes are for very fine tuning. You can lower the
pitch by a maximum of 60 cents.

quarter-tone), play the note "E" on your keyboard
repeatedly while you hold [A]. The pitch will slowly
rise allowing you to create unusual pitch intervals.

LED on [E] lights continuously. This is to indicate that
the note "E" in the scale has been altered in pitch.

The pitch of the note "B" will be lowered by a quarter-
tone. Play the note on your keyboard to confirm the
pitch change. To return the note "B" to its original
pitch, press and hold [B] and then press [CANCEL].
O Press [V] two more times.
As before, each press of [W] will lower the pitch
of the note by one cent. The pitch can be lowered by
a maximum of 60 cents.
