2. TUNING
This function allows you to adjust the piano’s pitch to match recordings or other instruments in an
ensemble.
(1) To lower the pitch press any C-sharp key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE
buttons. To raise the pitch press any E-flat key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE
buttons.
(2) Release the both hands after finding the desired pitch.
The range of tuning is +/-50 cents (100 cents = a half tone). Each press of the key will change the
tuning 1.56 cents. Press the key repeatedly until you arrive at the desired pitch.
3. MIDI CHANNEL SELECT
In order to exchange MIDI information with a another MIDI instrument, you must first set the two
connected instruments to the same channel.
(1) If you press any A key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the MIDI
channel will increase by one each time you press the key. MIDI channel will progress from 1 to 16
and automatically cycle back to channel 1. If you press any G key, the channel will be set to 1
regardless of what channel is currently selected. And, if you press any F key while holding down
the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the MIDI channel will decrease by 1 each time you press
the key.
(2) Release the both hands after selecting the channel.
When the power is first turned on, the PN81 always selects channel 1.
