◆NOTE

WERCKMEISTER III TEMPERAMENT

KIRNBERGER III TEMPERAMENT

These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music with few accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as accidentals increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean temperament. It is used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics.

EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (FLAT)

This is “unstretched” equal temperament that divides the scale into twelve equal semitones. This produces the same chordal intervals in all twelve keys, and has the advantage of limitless modulation of the key. However the tonality of each key becomes less characteristic and no chord is in pure consonance.

EQUAL TEMPERAMENT

This is the most popular piano temperament. The hearing ability of a human is uneven and is not as accurate with high frequency and low frequency as it is with the middle range. This temperament’s tuning is stretched to compensate for this so the sound will be heard naturally to the ears. This “Stretched” equal temperament is a practical variation of the “unstretched” equal temperament which was invented on a mathematical basis.

After you have selected the desired temperament, please read the following section on selecting a key signature for the temperament before continuing.

9. KEY OF TEMPERAMENT

Limitless modulation of the key became available only after the invention of Equal temperament. When we use a temperament other than Equal temperament, we must carefully choose the key signature to play in.

For example, if the song you are going to play is written in D major, choose “D” as the temperament key.

After selecting the “Key Signature” function by pressing the MENU buttons, use the VALUE buttons to set the desired key.

Please note that changing the key of the temperament will only change the “balance” of the tuning, the pitch of the keyboard remains unchanged.
