check the effect of your tuning.

applicable button again so it becomes unlit

temperament) tuning, select 01 (Equal Temperament)

E-23).
While the scale fine tuning screen is displayed, you can

button to select “Note”, and then the R-14 (–, +) buttons to

described above, you also can specify a note by pressing a
key on the keyboard.
You also can display the scale fine tuning screen from the
scale screen. For details, see the “NOTE” under “Selecting
a Preset Scale” (page E-23).
