Synthesizer 2 (Performance Functions) Changing the Pitch in One- octave Steps
( OCTAVE [DOWN] [UP] Button)
Octave Shift is a function that changes the pitch of the keyboard in
steps of an octave.
If you’re using your right hand to play a low-pitched part, such as a
bass line, you’ll nd it easier to play if you shift the keyboard down one
or two octaves.
1. Press.the.OCTAVE.[DOWN].or.[UP].button.

octaves up (+3).

Changing the Temperament to an
Arabian or Other Scale ( Scale Tune)
Equal temperament is the method of tuning used by most music
today, including Western music. However, the JUNO-Gi lets you
recreate other temperaments by individually altering the pitches of
the notes. Using this feature, you change the temperament of the
instrument to that used for Baroque or other classical music, or set it
for tuning used in Arabian music. This feature is called “Scale Tuning.”
Scale tuning allows you to modify the pitch of each note in one-cent
steps (1/100th of a semitone) relative to the equal-tempered pitch.
