(PRO 2 model only) User Tuning
Using this function, you can accurately retune every note of the instrument to recreate a preferred tuning. It is even possible to have a professional piano tuner create any tuning of your choice by using this simple feature.
After using the DATA slider to select MICROTUNING - USER from PERF EDIT page 13, you are ready to create your personal tuning preset. The operation of this function is very simple. Press any key on the keyboard. The screen will “catch” the key that you played. Fig. 1 shows the screen after the key C5 has been played;

You can now repeatedly play this key and adjust its tuning with the DATA slider. When you have finished tuning this key, simply press another key and proceed as before.
When you have finished tuning all of the keys you need, simply press PERF EDIT, to escape from the edit screen. If you want to reset the user tuning, (this procedure will program the user tuning to be the same as the EQUAL temperament), this can be done from the “Restore Tuning” function under the MASTER/MIDI button. See section 5 of this manual for more details.
