Explanation
Applying a Headphones 3D Ambience Effect to the Piano Sound
You can apply a Headphones 3D Ambience effect which produces the sensation that the sound is emanating from the piano itself
even when using headphones.
Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments
When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other such instances, you can match the standard pitch to another instrument.
The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that's played when you finger the middle A key. For a cleaner ensemble
sound while performing with one or more other instruments, ensure that each instrument's standard pitch is in tune
with that of the other instruments.
Changing the Tuning Method
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods).
Most modern songs are composed for and played in equal temperament, the most common tuning in use today. But at one time,
there were a wide variety of other tuning systems in existence.
By playing in the temperament that was in use when a composition was created, you
can experience the sonorities of chords originally intended for that song.
REFERENCE
For details, refer to "Temperaments" (p. 49).
Specifying a Song's Tonic
When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the temperament key for tuning the song to be
performed (that is, the note that corresponds to "Do" for a major key or to "La" for a minor key).
If you choose an equal temperament, there's no need to select a temperament key.
