6.2.32 Solo Mode
This parameter determines which note will be played when Solo is ON and more than one note is being played simultaneously. There are three choices for Solo note priority.
Last: | The most recently played note within a group of notes will be heard when |
| Solo is ON |
Hi: | The highest note played within a group of notes will be heard when Solo is |
| ON. |
Low: | The lowest note played within a group of notes will be heard when Solo is ON. |
When the Solo is “Off”, this page won’t be displayed.
6.3 Common Parameters
Common parameters are affecting all zones.
6.3.1 Stretch Tuning
The hearing ability of a human is uneven and is not accurate with high frequency and low frequency as it is with the middle range. The tuning of an acoustic piano is stretched to compensate for this so the sound will be heard naturally to the ears.
Off: | The tuning is flat without stretching. |
On: | The tuning is always stretched. |
Piano: | The tuning is stretched only when piano sounds are selected. |
On W: | Same as “On” but the stretching is wider. |
Piano W: | Same as “Piano” but the stretching is wider. |
6.3.2 Temperament
This parameter sets the temperament of the MP5.
Equal: | This is the most popular tuning method 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. |
Pure Maj/min: | This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and |
| fifths is still popular for choral music because of its perfect harmony. |
| When playing in a major key select “Pure Maj” and when playing |
| in a minor key select “Pure Min”. |
Pythagor: | This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate |
| dissonance for fifths, is very limited for use with chords, but it |
| produces very characteristic melodic lines. |
Meantone: | This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor |
| whole tone to eliminate dissonance for thirds, was devised to |
| eliminate the lack of consonances experienced with certain fifths |
