The Oriental Scales feature lets you simply and easily change the
pitches of specific notes and create your own scales. You can call
up the scale settings at any time—even when you are playing.
The SCALE SETTING buttons lets you easily lower the pitches of specific notes by
50 cents to create your own oriental scales. These buttons simulate a one-octave
keyboard (C through B). Press the button corresponding to the key whose pitch you
want to lower (the button lights). Press again to return to normal pitch. The setting
affects all notes having the same note name in all octaves.
In addition to the SCALE SETTING buttons here, there is also a SCALE TUNE
display from which you can conveniently select various scale templates (including
oriental scales) and create your own scales by fine tuning the scale notes. To call up
the SCALE TUNE display, press the [SCALE TUNE] button. For details, refer to the
Advanced Features section (page 105).
The settings you make (using the SCALE SETTING buttons or in the SCALE
TUNE display) can be memorized to the SCALE MEMORY buttons for instant
recall.

NOTE
In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th
of a semitone. (100 cents equal one
semitone.)
NOTE
Since the scale is set to Equal Tem-
perament with a base note of C by
default, you should set the pitch for
each key regarding C as the root.
NOTE
The Scale Setting function has no
effect on some Voices such as the
Drum Kit/SFX Kit Voices.
