Master Tune
In
some
eases,
it
may
be
necessary
to
tune
the
RD-100
an
acoustic
instrument.
Otherwise,
the
whole
performance
will
be
spoiled.
Generally,
you
can
adjust
the
pitch
of
the
instrument
by
playing
the
Middle
A
key
(“A4”)
and
set
it
to
the
same
pitch
as
the
other
instrument.
This
pitch
is
shown
in
Hertz,
and
is
called
the
standard
pitch.
Setting
the
pitch
to
the
same
Hz
is
called
tuning.
1.
Hold
down
the
[TRANSPOSE]
button
while
pressing
[PIANO
1].
2. Adjust the pitch using the [+/-] buttons.
The
standard
pitch
can
be
set
to
any
value
between
415.4
and 466.1 Hz.
The
display
shows
three
figures.
These
represent:
the
first
decimal
place,
number
of
units
and
tens
(from
right
to
left).

Stretched Tuning |
Stretch
Tuning
is
a
tuning
method
specific
to
pianos.
The
pitch
of
a
piano
is
generally
tuned
lower
in
the
bass,
and
higher
in
the
treble
compared
with
cqual
tempera-
ment.
This
is
done
because
low
notes,
when
tuned
right,
sound
a
little
sharp,
while
treble
notes
sound
flat.
The
tuning
curve
shows
the
actual
pitch
change
of
the
tuning
compared
to
the
pitch
change
in
the
treble
of
the
equal
temperament.
By
changing
the
tuning
curve,
the
chords
will
sound
subtly
different.
