Overall Functions

Touch Sensitivity

This function sets the keyboard touch sensitivity. The range is from “0” to “127”.

The higher the value the higher the sensitivity. When the touch sensitivity value is set
to “0”, “oFF” appears in the display and the same volume is produced no matter how
hard you play the keys. — this setting can produce a more realistic effect with voices
that normally do not have touch response: e.g. organ and harpsichord.

Master Tuning

The Tuning function sets the overall pitch of the PSR-530 over a

±

100 cent range

(from –100 to +100) in 1-cent increments. Since 1 cent is 1/100th of a semitone, the
total tuning range is from a semitone below normal pitch to a semitone above normal
pitch.

TouchSns

• The “normal” tuning

value (“0”) can be re-
called by simulta-
neously pressing the
[–] and [+] buttons.

• Minus values can be

entered by using the
number buttons while
holding the [–] button.

Scale Tuning

Scale tuning allows each individual note of the octave to be tuned over range from

–64 to +63 cents in 1-cent increments (1 cent = 1/100th of a semitone). This makes it
possible to produce subtle tuning variations, or tune the instrument to totally different
scales (e.g. classic or Arabic scales).

First use the SC.Note function to select the note to be tuned. The range is from C

to b: C, db, d, Eb, E, F, Gb, G, Ab, A, bb, b.

Tuning.

called by simulta-
neously pressing the

Then use the SC.Tune function to tune the selected note as required.
