Editing the scale tune settings

(SCALE TUNE)

The Scale Tune function lets you use a variety of tunings. For each note C–B, you can specify the pitch in units of one cent (1/100th of a semitone).

Scale Tune settings are made independently for each part.

If you want to edit the scale tune for Patch mode, refer to

“Making scale tune settings for a patch (PATCH SCALE)” (p.

91).

1.Select the part setup parameter “Scale Tune” (p. 57).

2.Press [ENTER].

4.Press [EXIT] to return to the above screen.

Type (Part Scale Tune Type)

You can switch the “Type” parameter to recall various sample settings for Scale Tune. When you change “Type,” all scale tune parameters will be changed automatically.

EQUAL (Equal Temperament):

This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and is the most widely used method of temperament used in Western music.

JUST (maj) in C (Just Temperament (major):

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

JUST (min) in C (Just Temperament (minor):

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

ARABIC (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.

Tune C–B (Part Scale Tune C–B)

Make scale tune settings for each part.

Value: -64–+63
