Hold down both of the data entry button [–] and [+], then press the [STANDBY/ON] button to turn on the power.
Then the "Memory Initialized" appears on the display and all of HD-200 settings returned to their factory default
values.
When the initialization operation is carried out, all User Temperament and Metronome Memory settings are erased.
For this reason, we recommend that you take note of the settings on the Blank Chart supplied in this manual

Calculating Pitch
What is a Cent?
A cent is an unit used to measure pitch that equals 1/100th of a semitone. Using cents to measure pitch, we can cal-
culate the pitch using simple addition/subtraction rather than multiplication/division. FFor this reason, the cent is
commonly used in music and acoustics as a standard for measuring pitch.

1200
In an equal temperament, the octave is divided into 12 equal steps (equal frequency ratios).
The frequency ratio between neighboring notes is
usually tuned relative to a standard pitch of 440Hz.
This tuning preserves the pure mathematical intervals of the major scale, especially for the
triad chords. This tuning includes pure fifths and thirds, both large and small interval whole
tones, and chromatic scale semi-tones so changing keys requires changing the pitch ratio of
every note in the scale making it impractical for keyboard or fretted instruments.
Like the pure major, this tuning preserves the pure mathematical intervals of the minor
scale. Changing keys also requires changing the pitch of every note in the scale making it
impractical for keyboard or fretted instruments.
