■Changing the Temperament

You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods).

Today, compositions are generally created with equal temperament in mind and are played using equal temperament. However in past ages of classical music, a variety of temperaments were used. Playing a composition with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer originally intended.

1.Hold down the [Split] button, and press the [Reverb] button.

The DP-970 switches to the function mode.

2.Press the [E.Piano] button.
