9) KEY OF TEMPERAMENT
Limitless modulation of the key became available only after the invention of equal temperament. When using a
temperament other than equal temperament, care must be taken to choose the key signature to play in. For example,
if the song to be played is written in D major, ‘D’ would be chosen as the temperament key.
Step 1
Press the MENU buttons to select the Key of Temperament function.
The Temperament Key will be shown on the second line of the LCD display.
Step 2
Press the VALUE buttons to set the desired Key of Temperament.
The key can be set within the range of C to B.
Please note that changing the key of the temperament will only change the ‘balance’ of the tuning, the pitch of the
keyboard will remain unchanged.
The key of temperament function will have no effect when equal temperament is selected.
Step 3
Press any one of the SOUND SELECT buttons to exit the menu.
The Key of Temperament will return to the default setting of ‘C’ each time the power is turned off.
Use the User Memory function (page 60), to save the desired Key of Temperament setting, allowing the current Key of
Temperament setting to remain even after the power is turned off.
