Master Tuning
Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments (Master Tuning)
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. This
tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called “master tuning.”
415 .3 Hz–440 .0 Hz–466 .2 Hz
Temperament
Changing the Tuning Method (Temperament)
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.
For details, refer to “Temperaments” (p. 39).
Equal, Just Major, Just Minor, Pythagorean, Kirnberger, Meantone, Werckmeister, Arabic
Temperament Key
Specifying a Song’s Tonic (Temperament Key)
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 C for a major key or to A for a minor key).
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a temperament key.
C–B
Dual Balance
Adjusting the Dual Play Volume Balance (Dual Balance)
When using Dual Play, you can adjust the volume balance between tone 1 and tone 2.
9-1 (tone 1 is louder)–9-9 (same volume)–1-9 (tone 2 is louder)
Master Gain
Adjusting the Volume (Master Gain)
If you are playing the LX-15 through a connected external system, there may be cases in which the volume from your external system is too low
even when the LX-15’s volume is turned to the maximum setting.
In such cases, you can adjust the master gain setting as follows. Adjusting the master gain will also affect the volume of the internal speakers and
headphones.
* The sound may distort if you increase the volume excessively.
-12–0–12 dB
