The Function Mode
F1 Tuning F2 Scale

In addition to the tuning method described on page 21, overall tuning can also be accom-

plished via the F1 function.

After selecting “F1”, use the [–/NO▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons to lower or raise the pitch in
approximately 0.2 Hz increments (the first time the [–/NO▼] or [+/YES▲] button is pressed simply
switches to the tuning value display without actually changing the tuning). The overall tuning range
is from 427.0 Hz to 453.0 Hz (corresponding to the A3 note’s Hz). Press the [–/NO▼] and [+/
YES▲] buttons simultaneously to recall the default value “440.0 Hz”.

Tenths of a Hertz are indicated on the LED display by the appearance and position of one

or two dots, as in the following example:

After selecting “F2.Y”, press the [+/YES▲] button to engage the scale function sub-mode, then
use the [TEMPO/FUNCTION# ▼,▲] buttons to select the desired scale function, as listed below.

F2.1: Scale..........................................................................................................................................................

In addition to the standard Equal Temperament tuning, the P-80 includes 6 classic tunings

that you can select and use to play music of the corresponding period, or experiment with in a

more modern context. The tunings are:

1: Equal Temperament 5: Mean Tone
2: Pure Major 6: Werckmeister
3: Pure Minor 7: Kirnberger
4: Pythagorean
Use the [–/NO▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons to select the number of the desired tuning.
Press the [–/NO▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons simultaneously to recall the default settings (Equal Tem-
perament tuning).
F2.2: Base Note.............................................................................................................................................
Unlike Equal Temperament tuning, these classic tunings must be tuned to a specific key. Use the
[–/NO▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons to select the key you want the previously selected tuning to be
based. The selected key will appear on the display, followed by a low bar if flat (e.g. “A_”) or a high
bar if sharp (e.g. “F~”).
Press the [–/NO▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons simultaneously to recall the default settings “C”.
NOTE
•The base note setting is effective for tunings other than the Equal Temperament tuning.
