For each channel and harmony, the note being detuned can be
selected independently with the Keyboard buttons
[A]
. The
detuning is performed with the Harmony potentiometer
[B]
. At noon,
the note is in tune. Turning the potentiometer clockwise increases
the note upwards to +50 cents, turning it counter clockwise detunes
the note downwards up to -50 cents. A detuned note is indicated by
a blinking keyboard button. The microtuning settings for all notes
can be deleted for a particular channel and harmony by holding the
μTune button for 4 seconds, and waiting for it to blink. When quitting
the Microtuning menu, the Harmony potentiometer may be off
position regarding the currently played harmony. To re-synchronize
the potentiometer, pass by the current harmony value.
