13. CREATING CUSTOM STRETCH TUNINGS
Under stretch tuning, different octave and note frequency relationships may be set to any value desired up to ±50 cents offset
(½ semitone). These custom stretch tuning ratios may be named and saved for future use by the simple touch of a few
buttons. Refer to the following procedures which describe Naming, Saving, Editing, Copying, Deleting and Using custom
stretch tuning files.
a. To make and save a new custom stretch file, it is first necessary to assign a new name to the stretched scale values
you plan to enter. (You may also copy an existing stretch file to a new name and modify it from there.) From the
RUN Mode screen, press the #1 SETUP, #2 FILE, and #2 STRCH function keys to call up the Stretch Menu:

b. Press the START-EDIT (#1) Function key to "name and save" a new custom stretch file. The following will show
up in the display:

<–– ––> BKSP
CNCL

c. Scroll through the letters and numbers using the #1 and #2 function keys as the Left Cursor and Right Cursor
respectively. Move the cursor to the corresponding letter, space (directly following digit "9"), or number in the
4-character NAME of your new Custom Stretch. Press the Enter key to select the desired character at the cursor
location. Press the #3 BKSP (Backspace) function key to delete the previous character you have just entered. The
#4 function key is used to cancel the newly opened file and returns you to the Stretch Menu. Once the fourth letter
or number of the name has been selected, the display screen will permit you to confirm the file name you have
chosen:
