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.
