Additional Functions and Descriptions
*1: Pitch
Press the DISPLAY button to select 430 Hz. Playing with the
pitch of each PLEYEL sound set to 430 Hz therefore allows
you to enjoy the ambiance of that era. To return to 440 Hz,
simultaneously press the + and - buttons.
*2: Temperament
Temperament types
Display Temperament
00 Equal temperament (default setting): Spacing all
semitones at equal pitch intervals, this temperament
is the most widely used.
01 Werckmeister: The Werckmeister III scale was cre-
ated in the later Baroque period to allow relatively
free transposition.
02 Kirnberger: The Kirnberger III scale is used mainly
for tuning harpsichords.
About stretched tuning
In order to produce the most natural resonance, PIANO
and PLEYEL sounds use a "stretched tuning" that makes
the notes of the lower range slightly flatter than equal tem-
perament, and the upper range slightly sharper. This is how
an acoustic piano is normally tuned by professional tuners.
*3: Octave of layer mode (L1, L2)
Setting procedure
1. Press the + or – button beside the display to select a
layer.
L1 appears for layer 1, and L2 appears for layer 2.
2. Press the Play/Pause button.
The octave setting (00) appears in the display.
3. Press the + or – button beside the display to select an
octave setting.
To restore the default setting, simultaneously press the +
and – buttons.
To select the octave for the other layer, press the VIBES/
GUITAR button to select the layer.
If the sound is in the Single mode, – – – appears in the
display, and a setting cannot be specified.
*4: Stereo sound optimizer
This gives presence to the sound that is reproduced, as if
playing an acoustic piano, even when headphones are used.
When headphones are plugged into the headphone jack,
enabled effects are applied to all sounds. The effects will be
applied to the output from the LINE OUT jack.
*5: Save parameter settings
This operation will save the parameter settings in Function
Mode (pitch and volume balance for parts), the metronome
settings (accent sound, sound and volume) and the sound
settings (reverb, chorus and brilliance) specified when the
Record button was pressed.
The Record button lights up while the settings are being
saved; do not turn off the Poetry until the button goes
dark (not lit).
Resetting the parameters
To return all parameters to their factory default settings,
hold down the Play/Pause button and press the Power but-
ton until "8.8.8." appears in the display.
The User Songs will not be erased. To erase a User Song,
perform the "Delete part of selected song" operation.
