VA-76 Owner’s Manual—Advanced Keyboard part functions

Here again, the white keys inform you about the notes whose pitch is actually being affected.

2.Press the value field (or the on-screen key) of the note/key whose pitch you want to change.

That field is displayed in white. As stated earlier, the pitch of all notes is at first set to “–50” (one quarter tone down). You can however, select any value between “–64” (slightly lower than a quarter tone down) and “63” (slightly higher than a quarter tone up).

3.Use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial or the [DATA] but- ton/Numeric Entry field to set the desired pitch. These Pitch EDIT values only apply to the Scale Tun- ing memory where you save your settings (see “Stor- ing your new scale”). Values other than “–50” or “+50” sound flat at best and are probably not really useful.

4.Repeat steps (2) and (3) for the other notes whose pitch you want to change.

Note: This pitch is only used when the corresponding on- screen key is displayed in white. Do not forget to switch it on. Also, you need to press the [Upper Parts] or [ALL Parts] field (both can indeed be switched off).

5.Press the [oBack] field to return to the Scale Tun- ing page, or the [EXIT] field to jump to the Master page.

Any changes to the standard tuning of the notes will be indicated by means of the “Scale Tuning ON” mes- sage on the Master page (see also page 93).
