Yamaha MONTAGE M6 Operation Manual page 261

When set to Mono, the attack of the note may sound unnatural depending on the attack speed
of the waveform assigned to the Part. If this is the case, use this parameter to adjust the attack.
In most cases, it is recommended to set this parameter to a smaller value for waveforms having
a short attack, and a larger value for waveforms having a long attack.
Settings: 0–7
Micro Tuning Name

Equal Each octave is divided into 12 intervals of equal size.
Temperament This is the most commonly used tuning in music today.
These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triad
Pure Major
chords (root, third, fifth).
Pure Minor
You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies, such as choirs and a cappella singing.
Each of the scales combines the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales.
Werckmeister
The main feature of these scales is that each key has its unique character.
Kirnberger
These scales were used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even
Vallotti & Young
now they are often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.
The equal-tempered scale shifted up 50 cents.
1/4 shift
You can create tension in your music by mixing this setting with Equal Temperament.
Twenty-four equally spaced notes per octave.
1/4 tone
Playing twenty-four consecutive keys on the keyboard makes up an octave.
Forty-eight equally spaced notes per octave.
1/8 tone
Playing forty-eight consecutive keys on the keyboard makes up an octave.
Usually observed in Indian music.
Indian
Play white keys only.
Arabic Usually observed in Arabic music.
