MASTER TUNE
5 MASTER TUNE
The
MASTER TUNE button accesses a few basic jobs, primarily concerned with tuning.
Tuning and transposing
The 51000 can be transposed by +
9 semitones and fine tuned by +50 cents (one semitone) to
enable easy playing in difficult keys and to match tuning with other instruments. When you
first press the
MASTER TUNE button, two scales indicate the current transposition and tuning.
Use the CURSOR knob to transpose up or down (one click of the knob equals one semitone),
and the DATA knob to provide fine tuning (one click of the knob equals one cent). These
transposition and tuning settings will be lost when power is turned off.
There are two action soft keys
ON and OFF. These will turn an audio signal on and off to the
stereo output connectors (and the headphones).
There are two sub-pages:
TEMP and SOFT.
TEMP
Pressing the
TEMP button allows you to set up different tuning temperaments for each
program, if desired. If you are playing a percussive sample (say congas) in one program,
which you do not want to correspond to standard Western chromatic equal temperament
tuning, this is where you can alter things. Select the program whose temperament is to be
altered on the top line of this screen. Use the CURSOR knob to select the note on the
keyboard octave which will be retuned, and use the DATA knob to alter the tuning away
from equal temperament by +
25 cents (one quarter-tone). If you are retuning the C# key, for
example, all notes played with the C# keys on the keyboard will be detuned by the amount
you have set.
