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. - / NO + / YES 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 - / NO + / YES 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 - / NO + / YES * 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. • Hold either the TEMPO [s] or [t] button for continuous scrolling in the specified direction. s The Pitch Display PITCH A3=440.0Hz The approximate pitch of A3 is shown on the 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).
