7.8 Temperament
The digital piano has a total of three temperament settings that can be set using the
piano keys.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press one of the piano keys [F4], [G4] or [A4] to set the
desired temperature. By default, the temperament is set to ‘EQUAL’ .
Piano key Meaning
[F4] EQUAL
The equal tempered tuning divides the octave
into 12 equal semitone steps. This tuning has
become standard over time because playing all
keys is equally possible.
[G4] JUST MAJOR
A tuning process in which the intervals are
tuned without beat. This creates chords with
great sonority. For physical reasons, this only
works for the major key specied here.
Related chords have low beats, distant chords
(such as F sharp major in a pure C tuning) usu‐
ally sound very out of tune.
[A4] JUST MINOR
A tuning process in which the intervals are
tuned without beat. This creates chords with
great sonority. For physical reasons, this only
works for the minor key specied here.
Related chords have low beats, distant chords
(such as F sharp minor in a pure C tuning) usu‐
ally sound very out of tune.
Many of the functions can be easily controlled from a mobile device using
suitable apps (e.g. PianoToolBox), which can be downloaded from the App
Store® or Google Play.
