Voice Category List
This is the list of the Main Categories and their Sub Categories to which the respective Voices of the S90 XS/S70 XS
belong.
Micro Tuning
In the sections that follow, we'll explain in detail about the “Micro Tune” parameter in the Play Mode display (page 36) of
the Voice Edit parameters.
What is Micro Tuning?
This function lets you change the keyboard scale from normal tuning (equal temperament) to one of a variety of special
scales. You can determine the scale type for each voice by simply selecting a Tuning number. You can also use original
Micro Tuning types that you've created in the Micro Tune display (page 140) of the Utility parameters.

Comments
1 Equal — The “compromise” tuning used for most of the last 200 years of Western music, and found on most
electronic keyboards. Each half step is exactly 1/12 of an octave, and music can be played in any key
with equal ease. However, none of the intervals are perfectly in tune.
2 PureMajor C – B This tuning is designed so that most of the intervals (especially the major third and perfect fifth) in the
major scale are pure. This means that other intervals will be correspondingly out of tune. You need to
specify the key (C – B) you will be playing in.
3 PureMinor C – B
4 Werckmeist C – B Andreas Werckmeister, a contemporary of Bach, designed this tuning so that keyboard instruments
could be played in any key. Each key has a unique character.
5 Kirnberger C – B Johann Philipp Kirnberger, an 18th century composer, created this tempered scale to allow
performances in any key.
6 Vallot&Yng C – B Francescatonio Vallotti and Thomas Young (both mid-1700s) devised this adjustment to the Pythagorean
tuning, in which the first six fifths are lowered by the same amount.
7 1/4 Shift — This is the normal equal tempered scale shifted up 50 cents.
8 1/4 tone — Twenty-four equally spaced notes per octave. (Play twenty-four notes to move one octave.)
9 1/8 tone — Forty-eight equally spaced notes per octave. (Play forty-eight notes to move one octave.)
10 Indian — Usually observed in Indian music (white keys only).
11 Arabic 1 C – B Usually observed in Arabic music.
12 Arabic 2
13 Arabic 3
