Settings

When playing together with other instruments, this setting lets
you adjust the VIMA’s standard pitch to match the other
instruments.
Standard pitch is usually expressed as the frequency of the
middle-A note of the keyboard. This “Master Tuning” setting is
what you will adjust when you need to match the VIMA’s pitch
to other instruments.

If you continue touching the master tuning

,

the value will change continuously.

If you’re playing a piano sound, you can change the tuning
curve.
Pianos are normally tuned in a unique temperament called
“stretch tuning,” which tunes the notes of the lower range
slightly flatter than the equal tempered pitches, and the notes
of the upper range slighter sharper.
