Tuning
Master Tune
(page 35)
(Pop-up
window)
Fine tunes the pitch of the entire instrument. This
function is useful when you play this instrument along
with other instruments or CD music.
A3 = 440.0 Hz
A3 = 414.8 Hz –
466.8 Hz (approx.
0.2 Hz steps)
Scale Tune
(Setting display)
Modern acoustic pianos are tuned almost exclusively in
equal temperament, which divides one octave into
twelve equal intervals. Likewise, this digital piano
employs equal temperament, but it can be changed at
the touch of a button to play in historical temperaments
used in the 16th to 19th centuries.
Equal
Temperament
Refer to the
“Scale Tune List”
below.
Base Note
(Setting display)
Determines the base note for the Scale selected above.
When the base note is changed, the pitch of the
keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch
relationship between the notes. This setting is
necessary when Scale Tune is set to something other
than “Equal Temperament.”
NOTE
When Scale Tune is set to “Equal Temperament,” “---” is
shown on the display and this parameter cannot be edited.

Equal Temperament
One octave is divided into twelve equal intervals. Currently most popular piano tuning scale.
PureMajor/PureMinor
Based on natural overtones, three major chords using these scales produce a beautiful, pure sound.
Pythagorean
This scale was devised by Pythagoras, the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect fifths,
which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning is slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and
suitable for some leads.
MeanTone
This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.”
It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.
Werckmeister/
Kirnberger
These scales combine Mean Tone and Pythagorean in different ways. With these scales, modulation changes the
impression and feel of the Songs. They were often used in the era of Bach and Beethoven. They are also often used now
to reproduce the music of that era on harpsichords.
