*This was set to “440.0 Hz” when the unit left the factory.

*The reference pitch is a system parameter. It is saved automatically when the TUNER is turned off, even without the Write procedure being carried out, and the settings values are applied to all patches.

*The reference pitch is output from MIDI OUT as the RPN Channel Fine Tuning each time patches are switched.

5.Press [SELECT].
