(Factory settings)
Note: The A.Piano preload programs 13:SoloStretch
Grand–15:SoloStretch Classic are programmed with
stretch tuning in order to make the sounds as natural
as possible. Stretch tuning adjusts the high notes
slightly higher relative to their equal-tempered
pitches, and the low notes slightly lower. This may
cause a slight modulation to be noticeable when you
play these programs together with other programs or
layers, due to the pitch discrepancy in the high and
low regions.
Note: The index number is automatically added in
ascending order of the program's bank number. This
means that if you change a program's category and
then save it, each program's index number may
change.
Tip: You can press the CURSOR/VALUE  buttons
simultaneously to view the program's bank number.
