Scale Tune (Setting display) Modern acoustic pianos are tuned almost exclusively in
equal temperament, which divides one octave into
twelve equal intervals. Likewise, this digital piano
employs equal temperament, but it can be changed at
the touch of a button to play in historical temperaments
used in the 16th to 19th centuries.

Temperament
Refer to the
“Scale Tune List”
(page 91)
Base Note (Setting display) Determines the base note for the Scale selected above.
When the base note is changed, the pitch of the
keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch
relationship between the notes. This setting is
necessary when Scale Tune is set to something other
than “Equal Temperament.”
NOTE
When Scale Tune is set to “Equal Temperament,” “---” is
shown on the display and this parameter cannot be edited.
