Description

Tune

Master Tune
(Master)

415.3 Hz ~ 466.2 Hz

Specifies the frequency of A

. The initial default setting is

A

4

=440.0Hz. See “Tuning the Piano” on page E-31 for

more information.

Baroque Pitch
(Baroque)

On (A

4

=415.3Hz),

Off

Turning on Baroque Pitch automatically changes the
tuning of the keyboard to Baroque era standard pitch,
which is about a semitone lower than modern pitch. The
initial default setting is Off.

Stretch Tune
(Stretch)

On, Off

Selecting Off disables the piano tone tuning curve (higher
high range, lower low range). The initial default setting is
On.
The tuning curve is not suitable for classical tuning.
Specifying classical tuning as the temperament type
causes the Stretch Tune setting to return to Off
automatically. Even when Stretch Tune is turned on, the
tuning curve is not applied to non-piano tones.

Temperament Type
(Temp Type)

Besides the normally used Equal Temperament, you can
select from among six other classical temperaments. The
initial default setting is Equal Temperament (Equal).

Equal Temperament
(Equal)

The octave is divided into 12 equal parts and assigned to
white and black keys. This is the tuning normally used for
today’s keyboard musical instruments.

Just Major
Intonation (JustMaj)

Historically, this temperament came into being with the
development of triads. Within a single tonality (major
key), essential major triads produce perfectly
harmonious, beautiful sound. Just Major Intonation also,
however, includes dissonant intervals, and its weakness
is a lack of modulation freedom, etc.
