■ORIGINAL tuning

Each instrument of each sound has its own origi- nal tuning data. This setting affects the tuning curve that spans the entire keyboard. So, for example, the acoustic piano-type sounds dupli- cate those of a real piano, in that the high notes are tuned slightly higher and the low notes slightly lower.

You can specify for each part whether this origi- nal tuning is enabled or not.

1.Use the PART SELECT ∧ and ∨ buttons to select a part.

2.Use the ORIGINAL TUNING ON/OFF button to select ON or OFF.
