36 Misc. Parameters
By changing the value for this parameter, you select from among the intonation
tables stored in the RE-220. Each of these tables defines different intervals
between each of the semitones in a single octave.
Intonation Key
This sets the base note from which the currently selected intonation table
calculates its intervals.
This setting is effective for intonations other than the Equal temperament. The
available values of the Intonation Key are
C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#,
and B . The default is C .
Drum Re-Map

2. Classic Just
3. Just b7th
4. Pythagorean
5. Mean Tone
6. Werkmeister
No detuning of any interval.
Tunings are defined bassed on the ratios of the frequencies in the Major triad
(For example, C:E:G). The original tuning of Classical European music.
Similar to Classic Just, but with be Dominatant 7th flatted an additional 15
cents.
This scale was designed by Pythagoras, a Greek Mathematician. It’s based on
the interval of a perfect 5th. The 3rd sounds quite out of tune, but the 4th and
5th are perfectly tuned.
This scale is an improved version of the Phthagorean to make the 3rd in tune.
Named for its inventor, Andreas Werkmeister. It’s fairly close to equal
temperament, and was developed to enable transposition with less dissonance.
