Stretch Tuning
The Stretch Tuning setting specifies whether stretch tuning should be applied for acoustic piano sounds only, all
sounds, or disabled entirely.
Stretch tuning is a piano-specific tuning method used by acoustic piano technicians in which the lower octaves are
tuned slightly flatter and the upper octaves are tuned slightly sharper to match the natural harmonics of an acoustic
piano.
* This setting is only effective when Temperament is set to Equal Temperament.
