Quarter Tone Sub-Scale (Scale Presets)
Editing a Quarter Tone sub-scale (Scale Preset)
Quarter Tone scales (Scale Presets) are custom scales where detuning can
be activated or deactivated while playing. Changing note tuning while play-
ing is typical of Middle East/Arabic music. The detuning interval is usually
next to a quarter tone.
You can save up to four Quarter Tone scales into the Scale Presets. The Scale
Presets are global and do not change with Keyboard Sets, Styles or Songs.
Quarter Tone settings are also sent to other Pa-Series instruments.
Program a Quarter Tone scale
1 Go to the Global > Tuning > Scale page.
2 Touch one of the Scale buttons to choose a Scale Preset to be edited.
3 Program the User Quarter Tone sub-scale.
▪ In the left-side scale diagram, fine tune each note of the scale.
Detuning Meaning
-99 … +99 Note detuning in cents or a semitone. Zero is no detuning, ±50 is a
full quarter tone up or down, ±99 is nearly one whole semitone up
or down.
