Tune the MP-300 to the fundamental pitch of the other instruments. Temperament Tonic You can choose from among the seven temperaments described below. Display Temperament Qualities In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve equal steps. Every interval produces about the same amount of slight dissonance. This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fifths. Dissonance is produced by third-interval chords, but melodies are euphonious. This tuning eliminates ambiguities in the fifths and thirds. It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities. The Just tunings differ from major and minor keys. You can get the same effect with the minor scale as with the major scale. This scale makes some compromises in just intonation, enabling transposition to other keys. This temperament combines the Mean Tone and Pythagorean tunings. Performances are possible in all keys (first technique, III). [. . . ] Box 180 295400 Munkachevo, UKRAINE TEL: (03131) 414-40 TURKEY ZUHAL DIS TICARET A. S.
