Training Your Ability to Imagine the Correct Pitch (Sound Back)
You can use the sound back function to help train your ability to imagine pitch. With this function, the HD-300 detects
the pitch of the input sound and returns the nearest reference tone within the currently set temperament. So, you can
confirm whether sounds are performed at the correct pitch from a soundless state.
1. Set the temperament (page 18) to a note you want to try and match.
2. Adjust the microphone settings (page 16).
3. Turn the [SOUND BACK] button on.
NOTE
While the Sound Back function is on, there will be no sound even when you
play the keyboard.
4. Practice to play at a correct pitch using the Sound Back
function.
4-1. Perform on your instrument with the pitch you
imagined and input the sound into the HD-300.
The HD-300 will play the note in the correct pitch that is nearest to the sound you have played.
4-2. Adjust your performance to match the pitch to the note played back by the HD-300.
The HD-300 continues playing the sound, unless you stop performing.
4-3. Stop your performance and wait a while.
The HD-300 stops sounding automatically after a specified length of time.
NOTE
You can set the duration that the sound continues in “Sound Back Time” in the Setting screen (page 31).
5. When finished practicing, turn the [SOUND BACK] button off.
