<Equal Temperament>

This scale divides an octave into 12 equal parts using the tuning system that is most widely used in Western music.

<Pure Temperament (Tonic is C)>

With this tuning, the three fundamental chords sound richer compared to equal temperament. This effect only applies to one key, and transposition can produce less- pleasing results.

<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 XV-5080, you can use Arabian temperament in the three keys of G, C and F.
