Temperament types
Temperament type Description
Equal Temperament
(Equal)
This is the most popular tuning method that divides the scale into twelve equal semi-tones.
This produces the same chordal intervals in all twelve keys, and has the advantage of limitless
modulation of the key. However, the tonality of each key becomes less characteristic and no chord is in
pure consonance.
Pure Temperament
(Pure Maj./Pure Min.)
This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and fths is still popular for choral music
because of its perfect harmony.
When playing in a major key select ‘Pure Maj’ and when playing in a minor key select ‘Pure Min’.
Pythagorean Temperament
(Pythagorean)
This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance for fths, is very limited for
use with chords, but it produces very characteristic melodic lines.
Meantone Temperament
(Meantone)
This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole tone to eliminate dissonance
for thirds, was devised to eliminate the lack of consonances experienced with certain fths for the
Mersenne pure temperament.
It produces chords that are more beautiful than those with the equal temperament.
Werkmeister III Temperament
(Werkmeis)
Kirnberger III Temperament
(Kirnberg)
These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music with few
accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as accidentals
increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean temperament.
They are used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics.
User Temperament

User dened temperament created by raising or lowering the pitch for each semi-tone.

Normal The keyboard trigger point is normal.
O-Fast The keyboard trigger point is earlier than Normal.
O-Fast2 The keyboard trigger point is earlier than O-Fast.
* When either fast mode is selected, touch response will be disabled.
* This parameter is common for all four zones.
2. Touch Curve
This parameter selects the touch response curve of the
keyboard for the selected sound.
* For more information about touch curve types, please refer to page 46.
* For information about creating User Touch Curves, please refer to the
User Edit explanation in the SYSTEM menu chapter (page 110).
* This parameter will not be available when tonewheel organ mode is
selected.
3. Octave Shift
This parameter adjusts the amount of octave transposition for
the selected sound.
4. Zone Transpose
This parameter adjusts the amount of transposition for the
selected zone.
