How to use the Quarter Tone function with
the SC Presets
When the “Quarter Tone” button is pressed, four “SC Preset”
buttons appear, and you can select one of four SC Presets to
recall a preset custom scale.
1. Program and save a custom scale into an SC Preset.
To do so, go to the Global mode, and reach the “Tuning:
Scale” page. When programming is done, choose the
“Write SC Preset” command from the page menu, then
select one of the preset locations where to save the current
settings (see “Write Quarter Tone SC Preset dialog box” on
page 275).
2. Return to this page, and touch the “Quarter Tone” button to
make the “SC Preset” buttons appear.
3. Touch one of the “SC Preset” buttons to recall a preset cus-
tom scale.
Each preset contains custom detuning of each note of the
scale, and memorizes the selected degree(s) of the scale.
When no preset is selected, the default scale is automati-
cally recalled. This scale assigns a -50 cent value to all
notes, and turns all scale degrees off.
You can also select an SC Preset by assigning the relevant
function to an Assignable Switch (see “Pad/Switch: Switch”
on page 125) or Assignable Footswitch (see “Controllers:
Foot Controllers” on page 255).
4. Use the keyboard diagram to turn the note detuning on or
off.
Make a big dot appear to detune the corresponding note, or
make it disappear to reset tuning.
5. Reset the original scale.
Touch the “Quarter Tone button again, to deselect it and
recall the main scale.
How to use the Quarter Tone function with a
footswitch or Assignable Switch
You can assign the “Quarter Tone” function to a footswitch or an
Assignable Switch, to program a custom scale in realtime, for
example to allow for those sudden scale changes typical of the
Arabic music. These changes are not saved anywhere, so the
scale is easily “wiped-out” when selecting a different Perfor-
mance or STS, or when pressing the Quarter Tone pedal again.
Note: While in Style Play mode, you can create a custom scale, to
be assigned to a Performance or STS, simply by selecting and edit-
ing a User scale, and saving any change to a Performance or STS.
See “How to create a custom scale by fine-tuning each note of the
User scale” above.
While in Global mode, you can create a custom scale and save it to
one of the four SC Presets, and recall it by touching one of the SC
Preset buttons in the display. Then, you can start your realtime
scale editing from the selected preset. See “How to use the Quarter
Tone function with the SC Presets” above.
1. Program the footswitch or an Assignable Switch to be the
Quarter Tone switch.
Simply go to the Global mode, and reach the “Controllers:
Foot Controllers” page. There, you will find the “Pedal/
Footswitch” parameter, to which you can assign the Quar-
ter Tone function.
2. Lower some note pitches.
Keep the Quarter Tone pedal pressed. The keyboard will
not play at this time. Press the notes you want to lower a
quarter tone. Release the pedal.
3. Play with your new scale.
Notes you pressed on step 2 are now lowered of a quarter
tone.
4. Reset the original scale.
Press and release the Quarter Tone pedal again, without
playing any note. All pitches will be reset, and the scale
selected by the Performance or STS will be recalled.
