Master Tuning

The Master Tuning function sets the tuning for the entire instrument (414.8 to 466.8 Hz). This can be very useful when you wish to tune your reface to the pitch of another instrument or a CD.

Factory default setting: 440.0 Hz

 Setting to either 440.0 Hz or 442.0 Hz

1. While holding down the A3 key, set the [ ] (Standby/On) switch to On ( ).

Each time you perform this operation, the master tuning will toggle between 440.0 Hz and 442.0 Hz.

Display when set

440.0 Hz Lamps from the LOOPER section light up.

442.0 Hz Lamps from the LOOPER section flash.

 Adjusting in 0.2-Hz steps

1. While holding down the A3, C#4, and E4 keys, set the [ ] (Standby/On) switch to On ( ). This activates Advanced

Settings mode.

In this mode, all of the OSC [TYPE] lamps light up, and you can change parameters by using the keyboard.

Do not turn off the instrument until all of the OSC [TYPE] lamps have lit up. Failure to observe this precaution can lead to data becoming corrupted.

4. Play a key other than the parameter selection keys (C2 to E2) to check the sound. If you need to continue adjusting,

return to Step 2 above.

5. Press the [ ] (Standby/On) switch to turn off the instrument and exit Advanced Settings mode.

In order to avoid changing other parameter settings while playing, be sure to always exit Advanced Settings mode after changing settings. Settings made in Advanced Settings mode are retained after you turn off the instrument.
