Making Various Settings
When playing together with another instrument in an ensemble,
you can adjust the RG-1F/RG-3F’s reference pitch to match the
other instrument.
The reference pitch is usually expressed as the pitch of the
middle A note.
“Tuning” means to match the reference pitch with another
instrument.
You can save this setting in the RG-1F/RG-3F’s memory
using the Memory Backup function (p. 72).

You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic
temperaments (tuning methods).
Most modern songs are composed for and played in equal
temperament, the most common tuning in use today. But at one
time, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems in
existence.
By playing in the temperament that was in use when a
composition was created, you can experience the sonorities of
chords originally intended for that song.

Qualities
Equal
In this tuning, each octave is divided
into twelve equal steps. Every interval
produces about the same amount of
slight dissonance.
Just Maj
(Just Major)
This tuning eliminates ambiguities in the
fifths and thirds. It is unsuited to playing
melodies and cannot be transposed, but
is capable of beautiful sonorities.
Just Min
(Just Minor)
The Just tunings differ from major and
minor keys. You can get the same
effect with the minor scale as with the
major scale.
Arabic
This tuning is suitable for the music of
Arabia.
Kirnbrgr
(Kirnberger)
This is an improvement of the
Meantone and Just tunings that
provides a high degree of freedom of
modulation. Performances are
possible in all keys (III).
Meantone
This scale makes some compromises in
just intonation, enabling transposition
to other keys.
