Selecting a temperament
Many compositions of classical music were created with a specific historical temper-
ament (tuning method) in mind. In order to reproduce the original beauty of these
compositions, the LP-350 lets you choose from three temperaments: Kirnberger,
Werckmeister, and the equal temperament most widely used for keyboard instru-
ments used today.
1. Hold down the TOUCH button and press the [HARPSI/CLAV] or [VIBES/
GUITAR] sound select button.
The indicator above the button you selected will light.
2. To return to equal temperament, hold down the TOUCH button and press the
[HARPSI/CLAV] or [VIBES/GUITAR] sound select button whose indicator is
lit.
You can check the currently selected temperament by holding down the TOUCH
button and noting which sound select button indicator is lit.
When you turn off the power, the temperament will revert to equal tem-
perament.

[HARPSI/CLAV]
Werckmeister: This is the Werckmeister III scale, cre-

Baroque era to allow relatively flexible modulation
between keys.

Kirnberger: This is the Kirnberger III scale, created by
Johann Phillip Kirnberger in the early 18th century.
It is used mainly for tuning harpsichords.

Equal temperament: Nearly all of today’s keyboard
instruments use equal temperament. It places the notes
of the chromatic scale at equal intervals, allowing the
same scale to be played in every key.
