Making Various Settings
Setting the Tonic
When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you
need to specify the tonic note for tuning the song to be
performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major key
or to A for a minor key).
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a
tonic note.
You can save this setting in the RG-1F/RG-3F’s memory
using the Memory Backup function (p. 72).

7.
Press the [+] or [–] button to select the tonic.
When performing in ensemble with other instruments,
be aware that depending on the key, there may be
some shifting of the pitch.
Tune the RG-1F/RG-3F to the fundamental pitch of the
other instruments.
8.
Press the [Piano Designer] button several times to make
the indicator go dark.
A piano is generally tuned so that its lower notes are slightly
flatter than equal temperament and its higher notes are slightly
sharper. This method of tuning is distinctive of a piano, and is
called “stretch tuning.”
The difference between the equal tempered pitches and the
actual pitches is called the “tuning curve”; changing the tuning
curve will have subtle effects on the way in which chords
resonate.
You can save this setting in the RG-1F/RG-3F’s memory
using the Memory Backup function (p. 72).
This setting applies only to piano sounds.
It cannot be made for other sounds.

(Pythagorean)
This tuning, devised by the
philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates
dissonance in fourths and fifths.
Dissonance is produced by third-
interval chords, but melodies are
euphonious.
Werckmst

This temperament combines the
Meantone and Pythagorean tunings.
Performances are possible in all keys
(first technique, III).
