Don't try to memorize the key sequences in the examples. Try to understand the operation of
the Tuning Set by tracing the example steps on the diagram.
Note the arrow in the lower, right hand corner of the LC-Display:
When this arrow appears, the keys ">" and "<"are
used for mode selection. You are then at the highest
operating level of the diagram for operation modes.
The text in the display then shows you what you may do with the keys "<" and ">", after you
have depressed the key "E":
>1< TUNING
Select a tone
>2< PITCH Select the standard pitch
>3< CENTMESS Measuring or adjustment of a tone in cent
>4< TEMPERATURE Select a historical temperament
>5< STRETCHING Select a piano stretching
>6< MEMORY Storage of one piano tuning or one historical temperament.
>7< PIANYZER Create an individual piano tuning
Pressing the key "E" makes the arrow disappear. The Tuning Set is now in the selected mode.
With the keys "<" and ">" you can now carry out your previously selected mode.
By pressing the key "E" again you enter the next user mode.
If the arrow will reappear, you have left the mode. With the keys "<" and ">" you may select a
new mode of operation. The input or adjustment made within a mode will remain intact after you
exit the mode.
A special case ist the mode number 6 (MEMORY). This mode you only can leave by tapping
both keys "S" and "E".
All inputs or adjustments made in the operation modes will not be erased by turning the Tuning
Set on or off. One exception is the standard pitch, which automatically resets to a1 after the
Tuning Set is turned on.
1.5 Erasing all inputs
Should you have stumbled in your first walking trials, and put in a non desired setting, you may
return to the original settings contained in the Tuning Set upon delivery:
Standard pitch:
440 Hz
Temperature: Equal Temperament
Stretching: None
Transpose Function and Cent Relate Function:
Off
Operate as follows:
Turn off the Tuning Set. Simultaneously depress keys "A"
and "E" with the left hand until you have switched on the
Tuning Set with your right hand. Continue holding the keys
until the LC-Display indicates:
1.6 Timer switch
A timer was installed in the Tuning Set, to save battery power. If you don't use the set for twenty
minutes, it will automatically turn off. Before shutdown it will set off several short accoustical
signals. This allows you to prevent shutdown by depressing one of the five keys. If the Tuning
Set automatically turned off, you may restart it with the on/off lever on the right side by switching
it off and on. You may turn off the timer completely (see chapter 3.7).
