Copy Pitch-Table Parameters
Pressing Copy from the Edit Pitch-Table sub-page will display the Copy page:
The MAKE COPY parameter allows you to make a copy of the complete pitch-table from the
currently selected program (or the Compare Buffer) into the Copy Buffer.
The RECALL parameter allows you to recall the complete pitch-table from the Copy Buffer into
an edited version of the current program if 1) the current program has a pitch-table installed in it
and 2) the Copy buffer contains a pitch-table. If you attempt to recall a Pitch-Table into a
program without just previously having copied a pitch-table into the Copy buffer, the copy is not
completed and an error message is displayed.
The SYSTEM parameter allows you to install an alternate tuning into the System pitch-table. As
an added feature, the System pitch-table itself is user-definable. For instance, if you want to hear
what other programs sound like using the custom pitch-table from a program, you can redefine
the System pitch-table. Or, if your main tuning is “just intonation,” then it might be convenient
for you to use this or some other alternate tuning as your System tuning.
• Press the soft button beneath SYSTEM. The display briefly reads COPY TO SYSTEM PITCH-
TABLE, and the custom pitch-table is installed into the TS-12 Operating System where it is
available for use by any program.
• Press System four times to view the System PITCH-TABLE sub-page.
• Note that the SYSTEM PITCH-TABLE parameter has been set to CUSTOM. Now all programs
whose voices are set to use the system pitch-table (which is most programs) will use the
custom pitch-table.
To return all programs to standard equi-tempered tuning, set the System PITCH-TABLE
parameter back to NORMAL. Switching back to CUSTOM will restore your custom System
pitch-table. You can switch back and forth as often as you wish. You can also try installing other
custom pitch-tables in the System, but the System pitch-table can only contain one Custom pitch-
table at a time.
