Tuning determines the ﬁne pitch setting of both the main voice and the bass/chord

accompaniment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs and

the Multi Pads. This allows you to accurately match the tuning with that of other

instruments. The Tuning settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 50 (approx. ±

0.5 semitones).

pad to type in the (negative) value. You can also use the [+]/[-] buttons to
