The Tuning Editor

The Tuning Editor lets you specify instrument-wide tuning, set a master transposition value, and activate the programmable
intonation table.

Using the Tuning Editor

Select Tuning Editing by pressing EDIT F2. (The abbreviation TUNE is printed above the F2 key on the button-pad.)
The parameters shown in Table 4-1 can be edited. One will appear in the display; the others can be selected by using NEXT
and PREV.

* If the value is numeric, you can also enter the value directly with the right button-pad and press ENTR.
Note that you can specify tuning and transposition values for individual layers with the Layer Editor (see Layer Editing).
See the sections on each parameter later in this chapter.

Master Tuning

When the display reads MAST TUNE, the pitch of the K150X may be tuned by 125C.
Enter a value using the numeric button-pad and press ENTR, or use INCR and DECR to change the value by 10 cent
increments.
If a value greater than 125 is entered using the numeric button-pad, the value will be set to 125 when ENTR is pressed.
This tuning is in addition to any tuning specified for a particular layer with the .TUNE parameter in the Layer Editor. For
example, if the Master Tuning for the K150X is set at +3C, and a layer is given a tuning of +2C, the layer will have a +5C
tuning relative to the natural pitch.

Transposition

When the display reads TRANSPOSE, the K150X can be transposed from 0 to 6O semitones.
Enter a value using the numeric button-pad and press ENTR, or use INCR and DECR to change the value by 1 semitone
increments.
If a value greater than 60 is entered using the numeric button-pad, the value will be set to 60 when ENTR is pressed.
This transposition is in addition to any transposition specified for a particular layer with the .TRANS parameter in the Layer
Editor. For example, if the master transposition for the K150X is set at +3ST, and a layer is given a transposition of +2ST,
the layer will have a +5ST transposition relative to the natural tone.
