ENGLISH About Each Function F1. Fine Tuning of the Pitch You can fine tune the pitch of the entire instrument. This function is useful when you play the P-90 along with other instruments or CD music. 1. Engage Function mode and select . 2.

About Each Function
You can fine tune the pitch of the entire instru-
ment. This function is useful when you play
the P-90 along with other instruments or CD
music.
1. Engage Function mode and select
.
2. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to lower
or raise the pitch of the A3 key in approxi-
mately 0.2 Hz increments.
.....
.....
Tenths of a hertz are indicated on the LED display by
the appearance and position of one or two dots, as in
the following example:
Hz (Hertz):
This unit of measurement refers to the frequency of a sound
and represents the number of times a sound wave vibrates in
a second.
You can also use the keyboard to set the pitch (in any
mode other than Function mode).
To tune up (in about 0.2Hz steps):
Hold the A-1 and B-1
keys (two white keys at the left end) simultaneously and press
any key between C3 and B3.
To tune down (in about 0.2Hz steps):
Hold the A-1 and A
±
-1
keys (a white and a black key at the left end) simultaneously
and press any key between C3 and B3.
To restore standard pitch:
Hold the A-1, A
±
-1 and B-1 (two
white keys and one black key at the left end) simultaneously
and press any key between C3 and B3.
Refer to “Part Names” on page 12 for information on
the key and key name assignment.
(During the procedure described above, the display indi-
cates a value in Hz <
>. After the proce-
dure, the display returns to the previous indication.)
You can also tune in about 1Hz steps (in any mode other
than Function mode).
To tune down or up, respectively, in approximately 1 Hz
increments:
