You can still leave the memory mode without changing the memory, by tapping key "<" or ">".
You can leave the memory mode at any time, by pressing keys "S" and "E" simultaneously. This
is herein after referred to as ("S+E").
Go ahead by pressing key "S" and "A" simultaneously:
With "< >" keys now you determine what kind of memory you
intend to use, a stretching or a temperament.
Now press "E" to if you intend to store a stretching. The device
enters in pitch mode and will automatically switch to the note "a-
1".
If you intend to store a already existing stretching of a music instrument, you now have to align
the Tuning Set to the concert pitch of your instrument (as already described in chapter 2.3). This
should be done very carefully, because the cents of the stretching will relate on this concert
pitch.
Press "E", the device switches to tune mode, and the note adjustment goes to its deepest note.
Now, select with "<>" keys the deepest note to be stored, for
example A_2.
Press "E", the device switches to "cent measurement mode".
Indication for example:
Now, play A-2 on your instrument an make a cent
measurement (like chapter 2.4)
If you are ready, press "E" to store the cent value. This is
confirmed by a short beep.
After this, the note adjustment will switch to the next higher
note. Join now to measure the cent value of the next note.
Repeat the last two steps, until you have stored all notes of your instrument.
When you are finished, it makes sense to confirm the stored stretching. With "S+A" you go back
to "tune mode". With "< >" you can confirm all the cents you have stored. After pressing "E" you
may correct a single cent value.
If you are ready you may leave the "memory mode" by tapping "S+E" twice ore simply turn of
the device.
Now, the stored stretching is active in the
Tuning Set. By selecting "tune mode" you will
see this indication:
If you intend to return to a firmly stored stretching, you may select it according to the chapter 2.5
or 2.6.
The storage of a temperament is similar as to store a stretching. To summarize:
After entering "memory mode", you have to choose the
option "TEMP.HIST" instead of "STRETCHING".
Press the "E" and operate the concert pitch alignment carefully. If you want only enter a
theoretical temperament, you may skip this point.
Enter "tune mode" by pressing „E“ („<> NOTE“)
When entering this mode, the device automatically switches to the note bb-1. The entry of the
note "a" is locked and the corresponding cents are set to zero automatically. This is technically
