Tuning
Each layer can be individually tuned by cents. This tuning is in addition to the master tuning for the entire device as
specified with the Tuning Editor. For example, if the Master Tuning for the K150X is set at +3C, and a layer is given a
tuning of +2C, the layer will have a +5C tuning relative to the natural pitch.
When the display reads .TUNE you can adjust the tuning of the layer from 0 to +/-125 Cents. Enter a value using the
numeric button-pad and press ENTR, or use INCR and DECR to change the value by 10 cent increments.
If a value greater than 125 is entered using the numeric button-pad, the value will be set to 125 when ENTR is pressed.
Transposition
Each layer can be individually transposed by semitones. This transposition is in addition to the master transposition for the
entire device as specified with the Tuning Editor. For example, if the master transposition for the K150X is set at +3ST, and
a layer is given a transposition of +2ST, the layer will have a +5ST transposition relative to the natural tone.
When the display reads .TRANSPOSE you can adjust the transposition of the layer from 0 to +/-60 semitones. Enter a value
using the numeric button-pad and press ENTR, or use INCR and DECR to change the value by 1 semitone increments.
If a value greater than 60 is entered using the numeric button-pad, the value will be set to 60 when ENTR is pressed.
Timbre Mode
About Timbre
Timbre describes the harmonic content of the note in addition to the nominal pitch. For most conventional instruments, the
harmonic content of the timbre changes over time while the nominal pitch remains reasonably constant. The harmonic
content of the timbre also changes with the loudness of the note.
