Adjusting the Pitch
This feature allows you to make fine adjustments to the piano's overall
pitch, so that you can correct for small pitch differences when playing with
other instruments.
The standard pitch (for the reference note A4) is 440Hz. You can use this
feature to adjust up or down by as much as 12.5 Hz (from 427.5 Hz to 452. 5
Hz), in 0.5-Hz increments.
1. Hold down TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION and press key B5 or C6 as
many times as necessary.
Each time you press B5 the pitch drops 0.5Hz. Each time you press C6,
the pitch goes up 0.5Hz.

B5 + C6 Returns keyboard to normal pitch (A4=440 Hz).
C6 Each press raises the pitch by 0.5 Hz.
2. To return to normal pitch, hold down TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION and
press B5 and C6 at the same time.
The pitch setting returns to normal (A4 = 440Hz) when you turn the power off.
Selecting a Temperament
The tuning scheme used to arrange notes into a scale is referred to as a
temperament . Early keyboards were tuned to temperaments that are no longer
in common use, and many classical pieces were intended to be played in these
temperaments. Your digital piano therefore offers two temperaments
appropriate for these older pieces: the
Werckmeister temperament and the
Kirnberger temperament .
The piano's standard temperament is equal temperament , which is the
temperament most widely used on keyboards today.
1. To select the Werckmeister or Kirnberger temperament, hold down
TOUCH and press ORGAN 1 or ORGAN 2.
The selected button lights up.

2. To return to equal temperament, hold down TOUCH and press the
illuminated ORGAN button (ORGAN 1 or ORGAN 2) so that both
ORGAN buttons are dark.
When you hold down the TOUCH button, the SOUND button
corresponding to the selected temperament lights up.
