THE TUNE PAGE
The next soft key is the key and this takes us, not surprisingly, to the main program
tuning page. Pressing will give you this display:
As usual, the program name is displayed at the top right of the screen - a different one
may be selected if you wish.
In this page, you set up different tuning temperaments for each program, if desired. If
you are playing a percussive sample (for example, 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 keys to select the note on the keyboard
octave which will be re-tuned, and use the DATA control to alter the tuning away from
equal temperament by ±25 cents (one quarter-tone). If you are re-tuning the C# key, for
example, all notes played with the C# keys on the keyboard will be detuned by the
amount you have set. You may tune the scale to anything you want which can be very
useful for enriching orchestral sounds and also for setting your own special scales
To help you with this, there are also some alternative tuning templates which are selected
in the field . These offer preset tunings which you can apply to the
program.
The other parameter in this page is the function. This transposes the
program +/-50 semitones. This may be adjusted in very fine steps (100ths of a tone) for
fine tuning the program.
Those, then, are the master pages for the program where you can set parameters that
affect the program as a whole. In any of the pages described, you may always directly
access another from the soft keys.
