Coarse Tuning
This function is related to transpose and in fact, the two work well together in
the creation of new timbres. A little background: Transpose works by shifting
the keyboard assignment of the samples (as if you were sliding the keyboard up
and down). Coarse Tuning keeps the keyboard sample placement constant and
actually tunes the samples up. With multisampled instruments such as a piano,
the timbre can change dramatically using coarse tuning.
(A multisampled
sound is one that contains multiple samples placed at various points on the
keyboard.)
To hear this effect, first
Coarse Tune
the guitar up one octave (+12), then
Transpose
it
down
one octave (-12). The pitch remains the same, but what a
difference in the tone! (You may want to turn the Piano instrument Off to make
it easier to hear the guitar.)

Fine Tuning
The Fine Tune control is related to the coarse tuning, but has a range of one
semitone. When both primary and secondary instruments are the same,
detuning one of the instruments slightly will create a “fat” sound useful for
strings or ensemble effects.

In preparation for the next experiment, let's clean the slate. Since we haven't
SAVED the preset yet, any changes you made will be lost as soon as you change
the preset. Do that now. Simply press the Preset Edit button extinguishing the
LED, dial momentarily to another preset and then go back to the ‘-defPreset-’.
Now everything is erased. Set the primary instrument to I337 Synth Pad, press
Home/Enter, then slowly turn the data entry knob until you find the screen
shown below.

COARSE TUNING DIFFER, TRY
