Pitch Controls
There are two overall pitch-related controls on the AR-80: Transpose and Pitch. Transpose allows
you to change the key of the instrument and Pitch lets you finely adjust the tuning. These features
make it easy to change the key of a song to accommodate a vocalist’s range or to precisely match the
tuning of another instrument.
To set Transpose and Pitch:
1. Press the PITCH/MIDI button in the DISPLAY SELECT section, then press
the appropriate Menu button to call up the PITCH page.
2. Adjust the settings with the appropriate Data Control buttons.
1 TRANSPOSE
Determines the coarse pitch setting of all the voices, and is adjustable in half-steps
(semitones). Range: -6 – +6 (one octave)
1 PITCH
Determines the fine pitch setting of all the voices.
Range: 414.6 – 466.8Hz
