Overall FunctionsTouch Sensitivity

This function sets the keyboard touch sensitivity. The range is from “0” to “127”. The higher the value the higher the sensitivity. When the touch sensitivity value is set to “0”, “oFF” appears in the display and the same volume is produced no matter how hard you play the keys. — this setting can produce a more realistic effect with voices that normally do not have touch response: e.g. organ and harpsichord.

Master Tuning

The Tuning function sets the overall pitch of the PSR-530 over a ±100 cent range (from –100 to +100) in 1-cent increments. Since 1 cent is 1/100th of a semitone, the total tuning range is from a semitone below normal pitch to a semitone above normal pitch.

000TuningScale Tuning

The “normal” tuning value (“0”) can be re- called by simulta- neously pressing the [–] and [+] buttons.

Minus values can be entered by using the number buttons while holding the [–] button.

Scale tuning allows each individual note of the octave to be tuned over range from –64 to +63 cents in 1-cent increments (1 cent = 1/100th of a semitone). This makes it possible to produce subtle tuning variations, or tune the instrument to totally different scales (e.g. classic or Arabic scales).

First use the SC.Note function to select the note to be tuned. The range is from C to b: C, db, d, Eb, E, F, Gb, G, Ab, A, bb, b.

The scale tuning set- tings are common to each octave on the keyboard.

The Accompaniment and Multi Pad sound is affected by Scale Tuning.

The “normal” tuning value (“0”) can be re- called by simulta- neously pressing the [–] and [+] buttons.

Minus values can be entered by using the number buttons while holding the [–] button.

Then use the SC.Tune function to tune the selected note as required.
