ORIGINAL tuning

Each instrument of each sound has its own origi-
nal tuning data. This setting affects the tuning
curve that spans the entire keyboard. So, for
example, the acoustic piano-type sounds dupli-
cate those of a real piano, in that the high notes
are tuned slightly higher and the low notes
slightly lower.
You can specify for each part whether this origi-
nal tuning is enabled or not.

and

∨

buttons to

select a part.

2.

Use the ORIGINAL TUNING ON/OFF button
to select ON or OFF.
