ENGLISH Detailed Settings - [FUNCTION] About Each Function The explanations here apply when entering the Function in step 5 on page 38. 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-140 along with other instruments or CD music. Use the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to lower or raise the pitch of the A3 key in approximately 0.2 Hz increments. ..... ..... Tenths of a hertz are indicated on the display by the appearance and position of one or two dots, as in the following example: Display Value 440.0 440.2 440.4 440.6 440.8 Setting range: 427.0-453.0 (Hz) Default setting: 440.0 (Hz) TERMINOLOGY 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. Using the keyboard to set the pitch You can fine tune the pitch by pressing a key on the keyboard, without having to call up the FUNCTION display. To tune up (in roughly 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 roughly 0.2Hz steps): Hold the A1 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 keys (two white keys and one black key at the left end) simultaneously and press any key between C3 and B3. • Each key has a note name; for example, the lowest (farthest left) key on the keyboard corresponds to A-1, and the highest (farthest right) key to C7. During the procedure described above, the display indicates a value in Hz ( ... ). After the procedure, the display returns to the previous indication. To tune down or up, respectively, in approximately 1 Hz increments: Hold the A-1 and A#-1 keys (a white and a black key at the left end) or A-1 and B-1 keys (two white keys at the left end) simultaneously and press the [-/NO] or [+/YES] button.
