emperament
These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music with few
accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as accidentals
increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean temperament.
It is used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics.
Arabic
Some oriental scales, including the Arabic, are characterized for “quarter-tone” which is half of a
half-tone (50 cents). This makes the music sound very different from traditional western music.
The CP Piano provides two of the most popular Arabic scales, although you can create more
variations with the User Temperament function. W
ith Arabic 1, the notes B and E are a quartertone
lower than the Occidental Scale, while the notes A and E are lower with Arabic 2.
To create a User T
emperament:
1)
On the Temperament scr
een, press the EDIT button (F7). The User Temperament scr
een will be
displayed.
2)
Use the KEY buttons (F3, F4) to select the note to edit.
3)
Use the Dial or TUNE buttons (F5, F6) to change the value. The value is represented in cents above
or below Equal temperament and ranges from –50 to +50.
4)
Press the SA
VE button (F7) to save the User Temperament.
