Other Functions (Utility) Part Octave This determines the relative octave settings for the keyboard-played voices R1, R2 and L. • Select the part (R1, R2, L) by pressing one of the PART ON/OFF buttons (VOICE R1, VOICE R2, VOICE L). • Set the value with the data dial, the [+/YES] button or the [-/NO] button. Master Tuning The Master Tuning function sets the overall pitch of the PSR-740/640. • Set the value with the data dial, the [+/YES] button or the [-/NO] button. Scale Tuning Scale tuning allows each individual note of the octave to be tuned over range from -64 to +63 cents in 1-cent increments (1 cent = 1/100th of a semitone). This makes it possible to produce subtle tuning variations, or tune the instrument to totally different scales (e.g. classic or Arabic scales). The Accompaniment and Multi Pad sounds are affected by Scale Tuning. • The scale tuning settings are common to each octave on the keyboard. • Minus values can be entered by using the number buttons while holding the [-/NO] button. • Select the note to be tuned by pressing the [NEXT]/[BACK] button. • Tune the selected note by using the data dial, the [+/YES] button, the [-/NO] button or the number buttons [1]-[0]. Split Point The point on the keyboard that separates the auto accompaniment section and the righthand section of the keyboard is called the "split point." • When the auto accompaniment is on, keys played to the left of the split point are used for controlling the auto accompaniment (page 35). • When the auto accompaniment is off, keys played to the left of the split point are used for playing voice L (page 28). • The default setting (factory setting) is "F#2/G2." • Set the value with the data dial, the [+/YES] button or the [-/NO] button. 135 133

Part Octave
This determines the relative octave settings for the keyboard-played voices R1, R2 and
L.
•
Select the part (R1, R2, L) by pressing one of the PART ON/OFF buttons
(VOICE R1, VOICE R2, VOICE L).
•
Set the value with the
data dial
, the
[+/YES]
button or the
[-/NO]
button.
Master Tuning
The Master Tuning function sets the overall pitch of the PSR-740/640.
•
Set the value with the
data dial
, the
[+/YES]
button or the
[-/NO]
button.
Scale Tuning
Scale tuning allows each individual note of the octave to be tuned over range from -64
to +63 cents in 1-cent increments (1 cent = 1/100th of a semitone). This makes it
possible to produce subtle tuning variations, or tune the instrument to totally different
scales (e.g. classic or Arabic scales).
The Accompaniment and Multi Pad sounds are affected by Scale Tuning.
•
Select the note to be tuned by pressing the
[NEXT]/[BACK]
button.
•
Tune the selected note by using the
data dial
, the
[+/YES]
button, the
[-/NO]
button or the number buttons
[1]-[0]
.
•
The scale tuning settings are
common to each octave on
the keyboard.
•
Minus values can be entered
by using the number buttons
while holding the [-/NO]
button.
Split Point
The point on the keyboard that separates the auto accompaniment section and the right-
hand section of the keyboard is called the “split point.”
•
When the auto accompaniment is on, keys played to the left of the split point are
used for controlling the auto accompaniment (page 35).
•
When the auto accompaniment is off, keys played to the left of the split point are
used for playing voice L (page 28).
•
Set the value with the
data dial
, the
[+/YES]
button or the
[-/NO]
button.
•
The default setting (factory
setting) is “F
#
2/G2.”
