Chapter 5. Changing Various Settings

■Setting the Tuning Curve

(Stretch Tuning)

A piano is generally tuned to a pitch with a lower bass range

and a higher treble range than equal temperament. This

special tuning method for pianos is called “Stretch Tuning.”

If you press the [Harpsi] button in step 2 of “Making

Detailed Settings (Function)” (p. 35), a display like the

following will appear.

Display	Descriptions
	This is the standard tuning curve. This is the
OFF	right choice when using Dual play (p. 23), or
	when playing in ensemble with other instru-
	ments.
	This tuning curve expands the bass and tre-
On	ble ends somewhat. It is suitable for perfor-
	mances such as piano solos. This setting is in
	effect when you turn on the power.

Power-up default setting On

→This effect works only with the piano tones.
