the greater the volume level becomes.

(TUNE Knob
This knob allows you to precisely adjust the pitch
of the ep-9. When the knob is rotated clockwise,
the pitch rises; when rotated counter-clockwise, it
is lowered.
With the knob at the center position, the frequency of the
"A" key in the middle of the keyboard will be 440.0 Hz.
By rotating the knob completely in either direction, you
obtain a pitch change of about 50 cents (1/2 of a semi-
tone).
