Scale (Tuning)
Almost every music culture has its own accordion variety.
Arabic, Indonesian and other musical cultures do not use the equal
temperament that is favored in Europe, the Americas, etc.
The FR-4x features a “Scale” parameter that allows you to select
the tuning system that best fits the music you want to play.
If the tuning system you need is not among the factory settings,
you can program it yourself, save it to a User 1~3 memory and then
select it here.

Arabic 1,
Arabic 2

Arabic tuning systems.
5 Select “1” to lower the E and
B notes by a quarter tone
(–50 cents).
5 “2” represents a scale where
the E and A are tuned down a
quarter tone.
Just Major
This is a classical (western)
tuning that resolved the
ambiguity of fifths and thirds.
Quite beautiful sonorities are
produced with chords, but the
scale is unbalanced, so it is not
well-suited for melodies.
Type Display Explanation
Just Minor
This is a just scale for pieces in
minor keys.
Pythagorean
This system was invented in
ancient Greece. It resolves the
ambiguity of fourths and fifths.
Though thirds are somewhat
imperfect, melodies sound
clearer.
Mean Tone
A temperament that adds
some compromises to the just
temperament and facilitates
transposition.
Werckmeister
A combination of the Mean
Tone and Pythagorean
temperaments, this tuning
allows for playing in any key.
Kirnberger
As a result of improvements
made to the Mean Tone and
Just temperaments, this tuning
system is relatively tolerant
towards transposition and can
be used to play in all keys.
