Scale Tuning
You can select various scales. Equal Temperament is the most common contemporary piano tuning scale. However,
history has known numerous other scales, many of which serve as the basis for certain genres of music. You can
experience the tunings of these genres.
While holding down the [FUNCTION] button, press one of the C5–F#5 keys to
select the scale. Holding down both controls shows the current scale setting.
Default setting: Equal
The scale is restored to the default setting
when the power is turned off.
Display Key Scale Description
1
C5 Equal
The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve
parts, with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most
commonly used tuning in music today.
2
C#5 Pure Major These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each
scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear
this best in actual vocal harmonies — such as choirs and a cap-
pella singing.
3
D5 Pure Minor
4
D#5 Pythagorean
This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is
created from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a
single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the
4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.
5
E5 Mean-Tone
This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean
scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was
especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Han-
del, among others, used this scale.
6
F5 Werckmeister This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger
systems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone
and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that
each key has its own unique character. The scale was used
extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now
it is often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.
