FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 1] Display — page 1

TUNE
• Range:414.8 Hz — 466.6 Hz
(–102.1 — +101.62 cents)
• Basic setting: 440 Hz
The Tune function lets you make fine adjustments to the pitch, allow-
ing you to accurately match the tuning with that of other instruments.
The frequency (in Hz) of A3 is displayed by the TUNE function. The
tuning can be adjusted up or down a maximum of approximately 26 Hz
(slightly over 100 cents) in 0.2-Hz steps.
Hz and Cents
• Pitch is measured in units of Hertz
(abbreviated Hz), which represents the
number of times the sound wave vi-
brates in a second.
• A cent is a unit of pitch equal to 1/100
of a semitone (100 cents = 1 semitone).
• Tune has no effect on the Drum Kit
voices.
• The XG Master Tune setting is effec-
tive when playing back songs contain-
ing XG Master Tune data.

■ Transpose....................................................................................................................

TRANSPOSE functions
• Range:–24 — +24 semitones
(–2 — +2 octaves)
• Basic setting: 0
The Transpose functions make it possible to shift the pitch of the key-
board or song data in semitone units, allowing you to match the pitch of
the Clavinova to the range of other instruments or singers.
The Clavinova has two transpose functions: ALL and SONG. The
former transposes all notes played by the Clavinova, whereas the latter
transposes song data only. When you change the setting of the ALL func-
tion, the SONG setting is also adjusted by the same amount.
• The Transpose function does not affect
the Drum Kit voices.
• When playing back songs containing
XG Transpose data, the XG Transpose
data is effective only for the data play-
back sound. The value set on the
panel affects the keyboard sound.
• The values set here affect playback
data transmitted via MIDI.
• When a Transpose function is set to a
high value, notes played in the corre-
sponding range at the upper end of the
keyboard (e.g., C5 through C7 for a
value of +24) may not sound as ex-
pected. The same is true of notes at
the lower end of the keyboard when a
low Transpose value is set.
