recorded tune.
• Each preset tone plays within a
specified range. If a key change
causes a note to exceed its range,
the same note sounds in the nearest
octave.
• When you select preset tones 90
through 96 after changing the key,
the keyboard split point changes
accordingly (see “Keyboard Split
Tones” on Page 13).
• Changing the key does not affect

TUNING THE KEYBOARD
Although your keyboard never goes out
of tune, it does let you adjust its pitch to
match other instruments or musical re-
cordings.
Note: You cannot tune the keyboard
while a prerecorded tune is displayed or
playing.
Follow these steps to tune the keyboard.

TUNE/MIDI
until the display shows

and the current pitch setting.
Note: The number on the display is
the number of “cents” to which the
keyboard is currently tuned, com-

the measurement that represents
the acoustical interval between two
tones. 1200 cents equal 1 octave.
You can tune the keyboard to within
50 cents (101 levels) of its default
pitch.
2. Within 5 seconds, repeatedly press

Notes:
• You can use the number keypad to
raise the pitch by entering the cent
change 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 pre-
recorded tunes.

keyboard is affected by the touch
response setting.
