The AX-Synth provides several functions that allow you to add expression to your music, change the pitch/key, etc.
Master Tune
This parameter allows you to change the AX-Synth’s
overall tuning. The factory default, 440Hz, represents
the reference pitch used by most electronic musical
instruments.
(1) Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the
[TRANPOSE] button.
The current tuning value flashes in the display and
the [WRITE] button flashes.
(2) Keep holding the [SHIFT] button and set the desired
tuning value with the VARIATION [DEC÷–]/[INC÷+]
buttons.
Press [INC÷+] to increase the value, or [DEC÷–] to select
a lower one. You may have to press the selected but-
ton several times to select the desired value.
The setting range is 415.3~466.2Hz. The display only
shows the last three digits (the initial “4” is therefore
omitted).
To scroll through the available values, you can hold
down either VARIATION [INC÷+] or [DEC÷–]. To scroll
even faster, press and hold the “other” VARIATION
button.
You can play on the keyboard to check whether you
have selected the correct interval. Feel free to change
it again before confirming you setting (see below).
(3) Press the [WRITE] button to confirm your setting.
(4) Release the [SHIFT] button.
Transpose
Your AX-Synth comes with a TRANSPOSE function you
may want to use for playing songs in other keys than
the ones you are used to.
(1) Hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and wait until
the current transposition interval flashes in the
display.
(2) Keep holding the [TRANSPOSE] button and press
OCTAVE/VARIATION [+] or [–] to set the desired
value.
The setting range is “–5” (five semi-tones down) to
“6” (six semi-tones up).
(3) Release the [TRANPOSE] button and start playing.
If you selected a transposition interval other than “0”,
the [TRANPOSE] button lights.
(4) To reset the transposition interval to “0”, hold
down [TRANSPOSE] and press OCTAVE/VARIATION
[+] and [–] simultaneously.
The [TRANSPOSE] button goes dark.
