The Function Mode gives you access to many other useful features on
your CP piano. To enter the Function Mode, press the TOUCH and
TRANSPOSE buttons at the same time. The LEDs for both buttons
will flash. Press one of the following sound buttons to choose a function
to edit. To exit the Function Mode, press either the TOUCH btton or
TRANSPOSE button.
The following functions can be selected in the Function Mode:

1. TUNING
This function allows you to adjust the piano’s pitch. You may need to
adjust the tuning when you play with other instruments or recordings.
Press the E. PIANO button while in the function mode. The LED
display shows you a number that represents the pitch for “A” in Hz
(Hertz). The range of adjustment is from 427.0 to 453.0 Hz (displayed
as 27.0–53.0). The factory preset value is set to the modern standard
A = 440.0 Hz (displayed as 40.0).
Use the VALUE buttons to raise or lower the pitch.
2. TEMPERAMENT
The CP piano offers not only equal temperament (the modern standard)
but also immediate access to temperaments popular during the Renaissance
and Baroque periods. It should be interesting and educational to try some
of the different temperaments, although the equal temperament is dominant
today.
Press the DRAWBAR button while in the function mode. The LED
display shows you an abbreviation for the type of temperament currently
selected. Use the VALUE buttons to select your desired temperament.
After you have selected the desired temperament, you must select a key
signature for the temperament. Limitless modulation of the key became
available only after the invention of Equal temperament. When we use a
temperament other than Equal temperament, we must carefully choose the
key signature to play in.
