16 Pitch Control Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a ±50-cent range (approximate) in approximately 1.2-cent or 1-hertz intervals. A hundred "cents" equals one semitone, so the tuning range provided allows fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone. Pitch control is useful for tuning the Clavinova to match other instruments or recorded music. q Tuning Up ... A-1 B-1 C3 B3 ZTo tune up (raise pitch), hold the A-1 and B-1 keys simultaneously (A-1 and B- 1 are the two lowest white keys on the keyboard) and press any key between C3 and B3. Each time a key in this range is pressed the pitch is raised by approxi- mately 1.2 cents, up to a maximum of about 50 cents above standard pitch. To raise the pitch in 1-hertz increments press the TEMPO [v] button instead of the C3-B3 keys. The TEMPO [w] button can also be used to tune down while TEMPO the A-1 and B-1 keys are held. XRelease the A-1 and B-1 keys. q Tuning Down ... A#-1 A -1 ZTo tune down (lower pitch), hold the A-1 and A#-1 keys simultaneously and C3 B3 press any key between C3 and B3. Each time a key in this range is pressed the pitch is lowered by approximately 1.2 cents, up to a maximum of about 50 cents below standard pitch. To lower the pitch in 1-hertz increments press the TEMPO [w] button instead of the C3-B3 keys. The TEMPO [v] button can also be used to tune up while the A-1 and A#-1 keys are held. TEMPO XRelease the A-1 and A#-1 keys. q To Restore Standard Pitch* ... A#-1 A -1 B -1 ZTo restore standard pitch (A3 = 440 Hz), hold the A-1, A#-1, and B-1 keys si- C3 B3 multaneously and press any key between C3 and B3, or simultaneously press the TEMPO [v] and [w] buttons. XRelease the A-1, A#-1, and B-1 keys. TEMPO * Standard pitch (A3 = 440 Hz) is automatically set whenever the POWER switch is initially turned on. NOTES • The PITCH function does not affect the DRUMS sound. • The TEMPO [v] and [w] buttons allow two-speed scrolling: press lightly to scroll through the values slowly, or press firmly to scroll rapidly. s The Pitch Display Example: 442 442.0 ...... 442.24 44. 2 442.25 .... 442.49 442. 442.5 ...... 442.74 442. 442.75 .... 442.99 The approximate pitch of A3 is shown on the TEMPO display in Hertz while the pitch control function is in operation. The total display range is from approximately 427 hertz (-50 cents) to 453 hertz (+50 cents). The dots to the right of each figure in the display are used to provide a general idea of fractional pitches.
