Tune

SaxLab 2’s Tune section is located on the upper left of the instrument’s Front
Panel. This section consists of four controls: Coarse (Tune), Fine (Tune), the
Tuning Display and Scale.

Coarse (Tune): The Coarse (Tune) control is used to set the overall pitch of
the instrument in semitone steps. Control settings range from -11 semitones
to +11 semitones.

Fine (Tune): The Fine (Tune) control is used to set the overall pitch of the
instrument in cents. A cent is 1/100 of a semitone. Control settings range from
-100 cents (-1 semitone) to +100 cents (+1 semitone).

Note that the overall pitch of the instrument can be raised or lowered by one
octave using a combination of the Coarse Tune control and the Fine Tune
control.

Also note that the Coarse Tune control and the Fine Tune control are used to
set the root note of the current scale. The controls transpose the scale’s
starting pitch to the selected pitch. Remember that if you use tunings other
than Equal Temperament, the overall pitch of the instrument must be set to
the root note of the key in which you wish to work. Otherwise, the notes of the
scale will not have the correct pitch.
