Master Tuning

Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments (Master Tuning)

When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other such instances, you can match the standard pitch to another instrument.
The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you finger the middle A key. For a cleaner ensemble sound while

performing with one or more other instruments, ensure that each instrument’s standard pitch is in tune with that of the other instruments. This

tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called “master tuning.”

Temperament

Changing the Tuning Method (Temperament)

You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods).
Most modern songs are composed for and played in equal temperament, the most common tuning in use today. But at one time, there were a wide

variety of other tuning systems in existence.
By playing in the temperament that was in use when a composition was created, you can experience the sonorities of chords originally intended for

that song.

Equal

This temperament divides the octave into twelve equal steps. It is the temperament that is most commonly used on today’s

pianos. Every interval has the same slight amount of dissonance.

Just Major

In these temperaments, the primary triads are perfectly consonant. It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be

transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities.
The Just tunings differ from major and minor keys.

Just Minor

Pythagorean

This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fifths.
Although triadic chords are slightly dissonant, this tuning is suitable for songs that have a simple melody.

Kirnberger I

As in the Just temperaments, the primary triads are consonant in this tuning. Beautiful sonorities are obtained when playing

songs that are written in keys appropriate for this tuning.

Kirnberger II

This is a revision of Kirnberger I that reduces the limitations on the usable keys.

Kirnberger III

This is an improvement of the Meantone and Just tunings that provides a high degree of freedom of modulation.

Performances are possible in all keys. Since the resonance differs depending on the key, chords played in this temperament

resonate in diverse ways when compared to equal temperament.

Meantone

This temperament slightly narrows the fifth relative to Just temperaments. While the Just temperaments contains two

types of whole tone (major whole tone and minor whole tone), meantone temperament uses only one type of whole tone

(mean whole tone). Transposition within a limited range of keys is possible.

Werckmeister

This temperament consists of eight perfect fifths and four narrowed fifths. Performance in all keys is possible. Since different

keys produce different sonorities, chords will resonate in diverse ways when compared to equal temperament (Werckmeister

I (III)).

Arabic

This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.

Temperament Key

Specifying the Tonic Note (Temperament Key)

When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the temperament key for tuning the song to be performed (that is,

the note that corresponds to C for a major key or to A for a minor key).
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a temperament key.

Song Volume SMF

Adjusting the Song (SMF) Volume (Song Volume SMF)

Adjusts the volume of the song (SMF).

* If the SMF Play Mode is set to “Internal,” there will be some parts whose volume does not change when you adjust the Song Volume SMF value. If

the SMF Play Mode is set to “External,” the volume of all parts will change.
