Changing the Tone of a
Prerecorded Tune
•
You cannot change the tone of the two-
hand tunes (number 85 through 99).
•
Selecting another tune switches the tone to
the default tone of the newly selected tune.
•
When you change the tone for the prerecor-
ded tunes, the newly selected tone stays in
effect even after you switch to normal mode.
Changing Keys
•
You cannot change the key while a
prerecorded tune is selected or playing.
•
The number on the display is the number of
semitones to which the keyboard is set,
compared to its default key. A semitone is a
measurement that represents the
acoustical interval between the tones of any
two keys on the keyboard. For example, the
difference between C and C or B and B
is one semitone. You can transpose the key
down 6 semitones (to an F ) and up 5
semitones (to an F) — a full octave.
•
You can also use the number keypad to
quickly raise the key. Simply press the
semitone change value (1 to 5).
•
The keyboard automatically resets the key
to the default value of 0 (middle C) each
time you play a prerecorded tune (by
pressing DEMO or SONG).
•
Each preset tone plays within a specified
range. If a key change causes a note to
exceed its range, the same note sounds in
the nearest octave.
•
When you select preset tones 75 through 79
and 90 through 96 after changing the key,
the keyboard split point changes according-
ly (see “Keyboard Split Tones” on Page 5).
•
Changing the key does not affect the
PERCUSSION (No. 99) preset tone or
auto-accompaniment rhythm.
Tuning the Keyboard
•
You cannot tune the keyboard while a
prerecorded tune is displayed or playing.
•
The number on the display is the number of
cents to which the keyboard is currently
tuned, compared to its default pitch. A cent
is the measurement representing the
acoustical interval between two tones. 1200
cents equal 1 octave. You can tune the
keyboard to within 50 cents (101 levels) of
its default pitch.
•
You can use the number keypad to raise
the pitch by entering the cent change value.
•
The keyboard automatically resets the
tuning pitch to the default value of 00
(cents) each time you turn off the keyboard
or play the prerecorded tunes (by pressing
DEMO or SONG).
