Selecting a temperament

equal temperament, pure temperaments (major and mi-
nor), classical temperaments (Kirnberger and Werckmeis-
ter) as well as temperaments used with Middle Eastern
and Indian folk music.
Display Temperament
00 Equaltemperament(defaultseing):
Spacing all semitones at equal pitch intervals,
this temperament is the most widely used.
01 Puretemperament[major]:Major chords in the
selected key are perfectly tuned.
02 Puretemperament[minor]:Minor chords in
the selected key are perfectly tuned.
03 Arabic:This scale includes the quarter-tone in-
tervals used in Arabic music.
04 Pythagorean:This ancient Greek scale is espe-
cially eective for playing melodies. It consists
of perfect hs; however, other intervals – the
major third in particular – is out of tune.
05 Werckmeister:The Werckmeister III scale was
created in the later Baroque period to allow
relatively free transposition.
06 Kirnberger:The Kirnberger III scale is used
mainly for tuning harpsichords.

Aboutstretchedtuning
In order to produce the most natural resonance, PIANO1
and PIANO2 sounds use a “stretched tuning” that makes
the notes of the lower range slightly aer than equal tem-
perament, and the upper range slightly sharper. This is
how an acoustic piano is normally tuned by professional
tuners.

When the Partner mode is turned on, the PIANO1 sound
is used for both the left and right sides of the keyboard,
and the PIANO1 LED lights up.
The right side of the keyboard, from E4 to C8, produces
sounds in a range two octaves lower (E2–C6). The le side
of the keyboard, from A0 to E
b
4, produces sounds in a
range two octaves higher (A2–E
b
6).
The division for the le and right sides of the keyboard
as well as the range (pitches) cannot be changed.
In the Partner mode, the transposition settings are
ignored. In addition, keyboard information (Note On
and Note O) is not sent with MIDI.
Selectingthesoundfortheleside
Exit the Function mode, and then press the sound but-
ton for the sound to be used with the left side of the
keyboard. The right side of the keyboard remains set to
the PIANO1 sound.
Selectingsoundsfortheleandrightsides
Exit the Function mode, and then simultaneously press
the two sound buons for the sounds to be used. The
LEDs for the two pressed sound buons light up.
Sound for left side of keyboard
Sound for right side of keyboard
The lemost or uppermost selected sound buon is for
the le side of the keyboard, and the other (rightmost
or lowermost) one is for the right side of the keyboard.
For example, if E.PIANO1 and ORGAN1 are selected,
E.PIANO1 is for the le side of the keyboard and OR-
GAN1 for the right side of the keyboard.
In order to use sounds in different banks, first select
the banks in the Single mode for the sound buons to
be pressed.
If the Partner mode is turned off and the Function
mode is exited with the le and right sides of the key-
board set to dierent sounds, the Layer mode will be
entered.
In the Partner mode, the tone performed will change
to Piano 1 when entering the performance of a piano
song. However, the tone of the keyboard on the right
that was selected in the Partner mode will be emied
when the keyboard on the right (E4–C8) is played.
Usingthesamesound(otherthanPIANO1)forboththe
leandrightsides
Exit the Function mode, and then simultaneously press
two sound buttons, making sure that the rightmost
one is for the sound to be used. Then, press the right-
most selected sound button again. For example, after
pressing the PIANO2 and ORGAN1 buons, press the
ORGAN1 buon again to use the ORGAN1 sound with
both the le and right sides of the keyboard.
Changingthevolumefortheleandrightsides
I f the sounds for the left and right sides of the key-
board have been changed, the volume can be specied
for each sound. refer to “Specifying the volume balance
for layers” on page 19.
