Various Settings
You can play classical music such as baroque pieces using
their original tuning.
Most modern songs are composed and played with the
assumption that equal temperament (the most common tuning
in use today) will be used, but when classical music was
composed, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems
in existence. Playing a composition with its original tuning lets
you enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer
originally intended.

You can choose from among the seven tunings
described below.

Specifying the Keynote

When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you
need to specify the keynote for tuning the song to be
performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major
key or to A for a minor key).
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select
a keynote.

Adjusting the Tuning (Temperament)
Temperament Description
Equal
In this tuning, each octave is divided into
twelve equal steps. Every interval
produces about the same amount of slight
dissonance. This setting is in effect when
you turn on the power.
Just Major
This tuning eliminates ambiguities in the
fifths and thirds. It is unsuited to playing
melodies and cannot be transposed, but
is capable of beautiful sonorities.
Just Minor
The Just tunings differ from major and
minor keys. You can get the same effect
with the minor scale as with the major
scale.
Kirnberger
This is an improvement of the Meantone
and Just tunings that provides a high
degree of freedom of modulation.
Performances are possible in all keys
(third method).
Meantone
This scale makes some compromises in
just intonation, enabling transposition to
other keys.
Pythagorean
This tuning, devised by the philosopher
Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in
fourths and fifths. Dissonance is produced
by third-interval chords, but melodies are
euphonious.
Werckmeister
This temperament combines the Mean
Tone and Pythagorean tunings.
Performances are possible in all keys (first
method, number three).
