-64–+63
Adjusts the pitch of each note in one-cent steps (1/100th of a semitone) relative to
its equal-tempered pitch.
• Equal Temperament
This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and is
the most widely used method of temperament used in
Western music.
• Just Temperament (Tonic of C)
Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads
sound pure in this tuning. However, this effect is achieved
only in one key, and the triads will become ambiguous if
you transpose.
• Arabian Scale
In this scale, E and B are a quarter note lower and C#, F#
and G# are a quarter-note higher compared to equal
temperament. The intervals between G and B, C and E, F
and G#, Bb and C#, and Eb and F# have a natural third-
the interval between a major third and a minor third. On
the SonicCell, you can use Arabian temperament in the
three keys of G, C and F.
