F1. Fine Tuning of the Pitch

This allows you to fine tune the pitch of the entire
instrument.
This function is useful when you play the CP33 along with
other instruments or CD music.
Use the [NO/–] and [YES/+] buttons to lower or raise the
pitch of the A3 key in approximately 0.2 Hz increments.

Tenths of a hertz are indicated on the display by the
appearance and position of one or two dots, as in the
following example:

• Setting range:

427.0 – 453.0 (Hz)

• Default setting: 440.0 (Hz)

Using the keyboard to set the pitch

You can fine-tune the pitch by pressing a key on the
keyboard, without having to call up the FUNCTION
display.

To tune up (in roughly 0.2Hz steps): Hold the A-1
and B-1 keys (the two white keys at the left end)
simultaneously and press any key between C3 and
B3.

To tune down (in roughly 0.2Hz steps): Hold the
A-1 and A -1 keys (the white and black key at the left
end) simultaneously and press any key between C3
and B3.

To restore standard pitch: Hold the A-1, A -1
and B-1 keys (the two white keys and one black
key at the left end) simultaneously and press any
key between C3 and B3.

Each key has a note name; for example, the lowest
(farthest left) key on the keyboard corresponds to
A-1, and the highest (farthest right) key to C7.

During the procedure described above, the display
indicates a value in Hz (

). After the

procedure, the display returns to the previous
indication.

To tune down or up, respectively, in approximately
1 Hz increments:
Hold the A-1 and A -1 keys (the
white and black key at the left end) or A-1 and B-1
keys (the two white keys at the left end)
simultaneously and press the [NO/–] or [YES/+]
button.

To restore standard pitch: Hold the A-1 and A -
1 keys (the white and black key at the left end) or
A-1 and B-1 keys (the two white keys at the left
end) simultaneously and press the [NO/–] [YES/
+] buttons simultaneously.

During the procedure described above, the display
indicates a value in Hz (

). After the

procedure, the display returns to the previous
indication.

n While the Master function is turned on, you

cannot fine-tune the pitch by pressing a key on
the keyboard.
