3.Within 5 seconds, press + or – to raise or lower the keyboard's pitch. Each time you press the key, the number on the display increases or decreases by 1 (cent).
Notes:
•The MD-1200 automatically resets the tuning pitch to the default value of 00 (cents) each time you turn off the keyboard.
•Memory playback uses the pitch with which the memorized tune was recorded.
•Auto accompaniment uses the cur- rently set pitch.
CHANGING AUTO POWER OFF
When you operate the MD-1200 with battery power, the keyboard automati- cally shuts off after about 6 minutes if you do not press a key. Press POWER again to turn power back on.
To have the keyboard not automatically turn off during a session, turn the key- board on while holding down TONE.
The next time you turn the MD-1200 off then back on again, it automatically turns off after about 6 minutes.
USING TOUCH RESPONSE
The MD-1200 has a touch response fea- ture that lets you adjust the volume of your music’s tone based on how hard you strike the key(s), so you can add emotion to your music.
To turn off this feature, press TOUCH RESPONSE so its indicator disappears.
To turn on touch response again, press TOUCH RESPONSE so its indicator ap- pears.
Notes:
•The touch response setting does not affect auto accompaniment or received MIDI data.
•The MIDI data sent out from the MD-1200 is affected by the touch response setting.
