Global

Tuning: Basic

Tuning: Basic

This is the general tuning of the instrument.

Global Tuning

Master Tuning

This is the master tuning of the instrument (in cents of a semi-
tone). Use it to adapt your keyboard tuning to an acoustic instru-
ment, for example an acoustic piano.

-100

Lowest pitch (half-semitone down).

0

Standard pitch (A4=440Hz).

+100

Highest pitch (half-semitone up).

Tuning: Transpose Control

This page is where you can select to which tracks the Master
Transpose is applied to, and adjust some related parameter.

Transpose Control

Transpose applies to Style and Kbd tracks

Use this parameter to turn the Master Transpose on or off, and
define the way it is applied, to Style and Keyboard tracks.

Off

No Master Transpose is applied to Style and Key-
board tracks. Chords shown in the Lyrics page
are, however, transposed.

In Sync

When you press either the TRANSPOSE [ ] or

[ ] buttons, the new transpose setting will not
take effect until the first beat of the next measure
is reached.

In Realtime

When you press either the TRANSPOSE [ ] or

[ ] buttons, the new transpose setting will occur
when the next note is played for both the Style
and Keyboard tracks individually.

The next key or chord you press will sound with
the new transpose setting applied. (Note that if
you play a Keyboard track prior to a new chord,
the Keyboard track will play in the new key as the
Style will continue to play in the old key until a
new chord is entered).

Transpose applies to Player

This checkbox lets you turn the Master Transpose on or off for
the onboard Player.

Transpose applies to Midi In notes

This checkbox lets you turn the Master Transpose on or off for
Note messages received from the USB Device port.

Position

Scale and Transpose position

The Scale and Transpose Position allows you to define the rela-
tion between the Scale and the Master Transpose.

Post-KB/Pre-Scale

When this option is selected, notes will be trans-
posed immediately after they leave the keyboard.
The Scale will be applied to the transposed notes.
For example, if you altered an E, and then set the
Master Transpose to +1, the E key will play F, and

the altered key will be E (that will play an
altered E).

Post-KB & Scale

When this option is selected, all notes are trans-
posed immediately before they enter the internal
tone generator, or are sent to the USB Device
port, but after the Scale. For example, if you
altered an E, and set the Master Transpose to +1,
the altered key will still be E (that will play an
altered F).
