■ Tune...........................................................................................................................

The Tune function lets you make fine adjustments to the pitch,
allowing you to accurately match the tuning with that of other instru-
ments. The frequency (in Hz) of A3 is displayed in the TUNE sec-
tion. It can be set in approximately 0.2-Hz steps over a range of +/–
approximately 26 Hz (+/– approximately 100 cents).

Hz (Hertz)
• Pitch is measured in units of Hertz (abbrevi-
ated Hz), which represents the number of
times the sound wave vibrates in a second.
Cent
• 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 effective
when playing back songs containing XG
Master Tune data. The corresponding
value is indicated in the Keyboard 1 display
(Function display page 1).

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

The Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the
keyboard in semitone units, allowing you to match the pitch of the
keyboard to the range of other instruments or singers, or letting you
easily play in a different key without having to change your finger-
ing. For example, if the Transpose amount is set to “+5” semitones,
playing C results in a pitch of F, or in other words, you can play in
the key of C major on the keyboard and automatically have the pitch
transposed to F major.
