A0 B0 32 Changing Various Settings Changing the Temperament You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods). Today, compositions are generally created with equal temperament in mind and are played using equal temperament. However in past ages of classical music, a variety of temperaments were used. Playing a composition with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer originally intended. This is set to "Equal" when the instrument is turned on. Key Pressed Temperament/Qualities Pythagorean This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fifths. Dissonance is produced by thirdinterval chords, but melodies are euphonious. Werckmeister This temperament combines the Mean Tone and Pythagorean tunings. Performances are possible in all keys (first method, number three). B3 B3 1. While holding down the [METRONOME] and [REVERB/KEY TOUCH] buttons, press the appropriate key (F3­B3) on the keyboard. Setting the Tonic When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the tonic note for tuning the song to be performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major key or to A for a minor key). If you choose an equal temperament, there's no need to select a tonic note. 1. While holding down the [METRONOME] and F3 G3 A3 B3 A0 C3 [REVERB/KEY TOUCH] buttons, press the tonic (root) of the key (C4­B4). You can choose from among the seven temperaments described below. Key Pressed Temperament/Qualities Equal In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve equal steps. Every interval produces about the same amount of slight dissonance. Just Major 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. Just Minor The Just tunings differ from major and minor keys. You can get the same effect with the minor scale as with the major scale. Kirnberger This is an improvement of the Mean Tone and Just tunings that provides a high degree of freedom of modulation. Performances are possible in all keys (third method).
