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 ... ZTo tune up (raise pitch), hold the E0 and F0 keys simultaneously (E0 and F0 are E0 F0 C3 B3 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 approximately 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 the E0 and TEMPO F0 keys are held. XRelease the E0 and F0 keys. q Tuning Down ... E 0 F# 0 ZTo tune down (lower pitch), hold the E0 and F#0 keys simultaneously and press C3 B3 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 E0 and F#0 keys are held. TEMPO XRelease the E0 and F#0 keys. q To Restore Standard Pitch* ... F0 E0 F#0 ZTo restore standard pitch (A3 = 440 Hz), hold the E0, F0, and F#0 keys simulta- C3 B3 neously and press any key between C3 and B3, or simultaneously press the TEMPO [v] and [w] buttons. XRelease the E0, F0, and F#0 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. • Hold either the TEMPO [v] or [w] button for continuous scrolling in the specified direction. 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.
