Pitch Control Pitch control makes it possible to tune the YDP-88 over a ±50-cent range (approximate) in approximately 1.6-cent 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 YDP-88 to match other instruments or recorded music. q Tuning Up A-1 B-1 C3 B3 Z To tune up (raise pitch), hold the A-1 and B-1 keys simultaneously. X Press any key between C3 and B3. Each time a key in this range is pressed the pitch is increased by approximately 1.6 cents, up to a maximum of 50 cents above standard pitch. C Release the A-1 and B-1 keys. q Tuning Down A#-1 A -1 C3 B3 Z To tune down (lower pitch), hold the A-1 and A#-1 keys simultane- ously. X Press any key between C3 and B3. Each time a key in this range is pressed the pitch is decreased by approximately 1.6 cents, up to a maximum of 50 cents below standard pitch. C Release the A-1 and A#-1 keys. q To Restore Standard Pitch* A#-1 A -1 B -1 C3 B3 Z To restore standard pitch (A3 = 440 Hz), hold the A-1, A#-1 and B-1 keys simultaneously.
