TUNING THE
KEYBOARD
Although your keyboard never goes
out of tune, it does let you adjust its
pitch to match other instruments or
musical recordings.
Note: You cannot tune the keyboard
while a prerecorded tune is selected
or playing.
Follow these steps to tune the key-
board.
1. Repeatedly press
TRANSPOSE/
TUNE
until the display shows
Tun
and the current pitch setting.
Note: 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 that rep-
resents the acoustical interval
between two tones. 1200 cents
equal 1 octave.
2. Within 5 seconds, repeatedly
press
+
or
–
to raise or lower the
keyboard's pitch. Each time you
press the key, the number on the
display increases or decreases
by 1 (cent).
Notes:
• You can tune the keyboard up to
50 cents (101 levels) from its
default pitch.
• You can use the number keypad
to raise the pitch by entering the
desired cent 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.
