7. KEY OF TEMPERAMENT

N NOTE

N NOTE

Limitless modulation of the key became available only after the invention of Equal

temperament. When we use a temperament other than Equal temperament, we must

carefully choose the key signature to play in. For example, if the song you are going to

play is written in D major, choose "D" as the temperament key.

While holding down the VIRTUAL TECHNICIAN button, press the VALUE button

a few times setting the piano in the key of temperament mode.

Let go of the VIRTUAL TECHNICIAN button and press the "VALUE +" or

"VALUE - " and select the key between C - B. If you have finished setting the key of

temperament, press any other than the REC, PLAY/STOP button to turn the setting

mode off.

This function is not displayed when Equal temperament is selected.

This function determines the level of stretch tuning. You can select either Normal or

Wide.

To do this, hold down the VIRTUAL TECHNICIAN button and press the VALUE

button a few times setting the piano in Stretch Tuning mode.

Hold down the VIRTUAL TECHNICIAN button and press the "VALUE +" or

"VALUE - " and select either Normal or Wide. If you select Wide, the lower part will

sound even lower and higher part will sound even higher. If you have finished setting

the Stretch Tuning, press any other than the REC, PLAY/STOP button to turn the

setting mode off.

This function appears in the LCD screen only when you have selected Equal or Equal

(Piano Only) temperament.

The LCD display shows the setting.
