However, history has known numerous other scales, many of which serve as the basis for certain genres of music. F2. 1: Scale 1: Equal Temperament 2: Pure Major 3: Pure Minor 4: Pythagorean 5: Mean Tone 6: Werckmeister 7: Kirnberger ENGLISH Setting range: Default setting: 440. 0 (Hz) Default setting: 1: Equal Temperament EQUAL TEMPERAMENT The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. PURE MAJOR/PURE MINOR 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 cappella singing. 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. 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. WERCKMEISTER/KIRNBERGER 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. TERMINOLOGY Hz (Hertz): This unit of measurement refers to the frequency of a sound and represents the number of times a sound wave vibrates in a second. Using the keyboard to set the pitch You can fine tune the pitch by pressing a key on the keyboard, without having to call up the FUNCTION display. See the "Panel Controls and Terminals" (page 8) for the key (note) name.
