Editing the scale tune settings
(SCALE TUNE)

The Scale Tune function lets you use a variety of tunings. For each
note C–B, you can specify the pitch in units of one cent (1/100th of a
semitone).

Scale Tune settings are made independently for each part.

If you want to edit the scale tune for Patch mode, refer to

“Making scale tune settings for a patch (PATCH SCALE)”

(p.

Type (Part Scale Tune Type)

You can switch the “Type” parameter to recall various sample
settings for Scale Tune. When you change “Type,” all scale tune
parameters will be changed automatically.

EQUAL

(Equal Temperament):

This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and is the
most widely used method of temperament used in Western
music.

JUST (maj) in C

(Just Temperament (major):

Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads sound
pure in this tuning. However, this effect is achieved only in one
key, and chords will become ambiguous if you transpose.

JUST (min) in C

(Just Temperament (minor):

Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads sound
pure in this tuning. However, this effect is achieved only in one
key, and chords will become ambiguous if you transpose.

ARABIC

(Arabian Scale):

In this scale, E and B are a quarter note lower and C#, F# and G#
are a quarter-note higher compared to equal temperament. The
intervals between G and B, C and E, F and G#, Bb and C#, and Eb
and F# have a natural third–the interval between a major third
and a minor third.

Tune C–B (Part Scale Tune C–B)

Make scale tune settings for each part.

Value:

-64–+63

Patch mode and Pattern mode share the same patches.
This means that if you save a patch in one of these modes, the
newly saved patch will sound if you select it in the other mode.
To avoid problems, such as unintended changes in the sound of
patches you are using in Pattern mode, please be aware of this
when you save patches.

If the same patch happens to be selected in both Patch mode
and Pattern mode, and you save the patch in one mode and
then switch modes, the patch will still sound in accord with the
settings prior to the save. However, once you re-select the patch
or the pattern again, the patch will then sound in accord with
the newly saved settings.
