Description
• Sets the type of tuning system applied to the element. Select any one of the types
indicated below.
• off: Equal
All 12 notes of the octave are equally spaced. You can play in any key with no
adjustment required.
• 01 to 12: “Pure Major C” to “Pure Major B”
• 13 to 24: “Pure Minor A” to “Pure Minor A
b
”
Tuning for brass instruments. Notes are tuned for natural harmonics, ensuring
that ensemble play is clean and free from discord. You must change the tuning
pattern each time you change the key.
• 25 to 36: “Mean Tone C” to “Mean Tone B”
Pythagorean-type tuning with corrected third.
• 37 to 48: “Pythagorean C” to “Pythagorean B”
Classical Greek tuning system, later used in Rome, and then by Gregorian
chanters and medieval minstrels.
• 49: Werckmeister
• 50: Kirnberger
• 51: Vallotti and Young
In these classical systems, a single tuning pattern applies regardless of key, but
chordal sounds tend to have more tension in keys with relatively many sharps
or flats. These systems offer attractive melodic effects; key modulations have a
large impact on the sound. These systems were employed in a fair number of
important classical works.
• 52: 1/4 Shift
Equal tuning, but with the pitch of each note raised 1/4-tone from its normal
value. Playing a 1/4-shifted element in combination with an element tuned to
“Equal” will produce an eerie, tension-filled sound.
• 53: 1/4 Tone
Changes the spacing between adjacent notes from semitone to quarter-tone.
Tuning is in reference to C2, which retains its normal pitch.
