Tune
The TUNE function allows you fine tune the instrument. The tuning can vary
between 427.5 Hz and 452.5 Hz (corresponding to an excursion of approx. one
semitone) in steps of +/– 0.5 Hz. The default status of the instrument
correponds the the equal standard A = 440 Hz.
1. Press and hold the note A7 (TUNE function) and press
the DATA + or DATA – button to raise or lower the
tuning accordingly.
The first time you press the DATA + or DATA – button, the instrument
automatically plays a sinusiodal reference sound (A = 440 Hz) which
will help you fine tune the RPT114 with any other instrument.
To raise the tuning
While still holding down the note A7 (TUNE function), press the
DATA + button again to obtain the first increment (+0.5 Hz). Continue
in this way until you obtain the required tuning level. The sinusoidal
reference sound will help you fine tune the instrument. Release the note
A7 (TUNE function) to escape the function.

To lower the tuning
While holding down the note A7 (TUNE function), press the DATA –
button to activate the function. Bear in mind that the RPT114
memorizes the last setting made, therefore, in this case, you will hear
the reference sinusoidal sound play with the last tuning setting. Press
DATA – again to obtain the first decrement (– 0.5 Hz) and continue in
this way until you obtain the required tuning level. Release the function
note A7 (TUNE) to escape the function.
To reset the tuning
You can reset to the standard tuning pitch (A = 440 Hz) at any time by
holding down the note A7 (TUNE function) and pressing both the
DATA + and DATA – buttons at the same time.
The standard tuning setting is also restored by turning the instrument
off.
