Other Functions (Utility) Upper Octave This determines the Octave setting for the right-hand range of the keyboard, letting you have independent ranges for the right and left hands. The range is from -1 to 1. Upper Octave = 1 • Use the data dial, the [+/YES] button or the [-/NO] button to set the Octave. Master Tuning The Master Tuning function sets the overall pitch of the PSR-550. The range is from 414.6 Hz to 466.8 Hz. Tuning =414.6 • 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 PSR-550 also provides nine different scale settings (shown below) that let you instantly reconfigure the tuning of the instrument for playing in special scales. You can tune the instrument in two ways: select the desired scale setting template, or tune each key individually using Note Edit.
