Scale Tune is switched on/off by means of the Scale Tune Switch parameter (SYSTEM/Scale Tune) (p. 186).

Equal Temperament

This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and is the most widely used method of temperament used in Western music. The Fantom employs equal temperament when the Scale Tune Switch is set to “OFF.”

Just Temperament (Tonic of C)

Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads sound pure in this tuning. However, this effect is achieved only in one key, and the triads will become ambiguous if you transpose.

Arabian Scale

In this scale, E and B are a quarter note lower and C#, F# and G# are a quarter-note higher compared to equal temperament. The intervals between G and B, C and E, F and G#, Bb and C#, and Eb and F# have a natural third—the interval between a major third and a minor third. On the Fantom, you can use Arabian temperament in the three keys of G, C and F.
