OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR TUNING SET CTS-5, CTS-5-P AND CTS-5-PE Congratulations on the purchase of your Tuning Set CTS-5. It will make the tuning of all kinds of musical instruments much easier. Part 1 of these operating instructions contains general information about the Tuning Set. Part 2 gives examples on how to learn the most important functions, and part 3 is for those of you who want to know all about this Tuning Set. PART 1 GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1.
1.2 SWITCHING-ON THE TUNING SET. Switch on the Tuning Set with the slide switch on the right side of the Tuning Set. For approx. one second you see the program version, and then the following indication: >1< TUNING -> Should one of the next two indications appear, please go to the next paragraph. >1< STIMMEN -> >1< ACCORDER -> 1.3 SELECTION OF LANGUAGE FOR OPERATOR GUIDANCE Your Tuning Set can converse with you in German, French, or English. Select the desired language as follows: 1.
With the key "E" you can move downward on the diagram. The selected mode is activated. If you press the key "E" again, you will move upward, and are leaving the activated mode. Selecting the wrong key or mode will not damage the Tuning Set. The stored temperatures and stretchings are protected and cannot be erased or changed by depression of a wrong key. In order to become acquainted with the Tuning Set, please play and experiment with the keys to your heart's content.
The memory content for Temperatures and Stretchings will not be erased by the 'dump'. ....and this is how to do it: Turn off the Tuning Set. Simultaneously depress keys "A" and "E" with the left hand until you have switched on the Tuning Set with your right hand. Continue holding the keys until the LC-Display indicates: BASIC ADJUSTMENT IS DONE The 'monkey clutch' was made so difficult to prevent an accidental dumping of the inputs and settings. 1.
too high. As the tone approaches the desired pitch, the movements will slow down. At the correct pitch the beads will stop moving. You can recognize larger frequency deviations, when one of two green dots on the left or right of the stroboscopic display is lit. Depending on whether the desired tone is too high or too low, either the right or the left dot will be lit continuously. If neither of these dots shines, the tone played is at the desired pitch of less than ñ2 cent (*). (*) This value is changeable.
>1< TUNING -> Press key ">" once. >2< PITCH -> Press key "E". a 1 PITCH: 440.0 >2< CENTS: 00.0 By tapping key ">" you can raise the standard pitch by 1/10th Hertz a 1 PITCH: 440.1 >2< CENTS: 00.0 By tapping key "<" you can lower the standard pitch by 1/10th Hertz. a 1 PITCH: 440.0 >2< CENTS: 00.0 If you constantly depress key "S" and simultaneously tap key ">", you will raise the standard pitch by one cent. a 1 PITCH: 441.0 >2< CENTS: 00.
2.3 MEASURING THE STANDARD PITCH OF AN INSTRUMENT Enter, like in the above example, into the standard pitch program. For instance a 1 PITCH: 440.0 >2< CENTS: 00.0 Tap the key "A". a 1 PITCH: 440.0 >2A
When tuning pianos and grand pianos, the stretching of tune has to be considered for various reasons, i.e. that in deviation from the standard tune, high tones have to be tuned higher, and bass tones lower. We will discuss this further in Part 3 of the Operating Instructions. The Tuning Set CTS-5 may be adjusted so that, based on stretching diagrams, which are incorporated in the CTS5 program, these deviations or stretchings are automatically considered. Several stretchings are available in the Tuning Set.
In this example we will obtain Stretching Number 3: Tap key ">" 3 times PRONOUNCED1 NUMBER 00 Tap key "E" >5< STRETCHING -> Tap key "<" 4 times Blinking Confirms PRONOUNCED1 >1< TUNING -> Tap key "E" a1 PITCH: 440.0 >1< CENTS: 00.0 Now you may start tuning. Start with tone a' and tune all three strings. Continue with b', h', c'', etc. At one of the higher tones you may see the following display (for example): b 2 PITCH: 440.0 >1< CENTS: +00.
Tap key ">" 3 times. >4< HIST.TEMP.-> Tap key "E". EQUAL TEMPERAMENT >4< NUMBER 00 Using keys "<" or ">" you may now select a temperature: Number 00 Number 01 Number 02 Number 03 Number 04 Number 05 Number 06 Number 07 Number 08 Number 09 Number 10 Number 11 Number 12 Number 13 Number 14 Number 15 Number 16 Equal Temperament (Normal Setting) KirnbergerIII WerckmeisterIII Meantone Neidhard (1724) Neidhard (1729) Valotti Silbermann Silbermann by P. Vier Bruder by P.
Tap key "E". a 1 PITCH: 440.0 >1< CENTS: 00.0 Now you may start tuning. The cent-deviation of the historical temperament to the equal temperament is shown on the lower line of the display, i.e. b 1 PITCH: 440.0 >1< CENTS: +07.5 The CENT deviations of the various historical temperaments are listed in part 2 of the operating instructions. 2.7 TUNING OF PURELY TUNED INTERVALS (CTS-5-P and PE only) If you wish to raise the setting of the Tuning Set by an equally tempered interval (TERZ, quint, etc.
The Tuning Set is now tuned a pure quint higher. You may start tuning. (The frequency of the current pitch is 440Hz*3/2). When you use the interval program please note that the tuning area (27.5 Hz through 6645 Hz) cannot be expanded through the interval function. The Tuning Set cannot be set outside this range. 2.8 STORAGE OF STRETCHINGS AND TEMPERAMENTS (CTS-5-P and PE only) To refresh your already considerable knowledge of the CTS-5...
Now select a memory by tapping key "<" or ">". Available in CTS-5-P and PE: MEMORY S-01 to S-03 for stretchings MEMORY T-01 to T-12 for temperaments In the exchangeable memory module (CTS-5-PE only): MEMORY SE-04 to SE-15 for stretchings MEMORY TE-13 to TE-32 for temperaments In this example we will store a piano tuning into "MEMORY S 02". We therefore search for this display with the keys "<" and ">" : MEMORY S-02 M02 >7< SET MEMORY "MEMORY S-02" is now selected.
Now play the tone A 2 on your musical instrument and take a cent deviation measurement. (as in example 2.4): A 2 SET CENT >7< CENTS:10.5 When you have finished this measurement, press key "E" to store the indicated cent deviation value. This will be acknowledged with a short beep from the device. The next display appears for about one second: A 2 STORED ! >7< The device automatically switches to the next semi-tone: Bb 2 SET CENT >8< CENTS:+10.
"SET NOTE": In this mode the device automatically switches to the tone b'. It is not possible to enter a cent deviation value for to tone "a". Its cent deviation is always automatically set to zero. If you try to enter the tone "a", the display "a = CENT REF" appears for aprox. 1 second. After that the Tuning Set switches to the next tone.
bb' = 442.00 Hz * 12 2 = 468.28 Hz b' = 468.28 Hz * 12 2 = 496.13 Hz etc. 3.2 THE CENT VALUE Cent is a value for proportions of frequencies. A semi- tone is geometrically divided into 100 parts ( = 100 cent). The following example will show how the cent-value is defined mathematically. The frequency of oscillations is given with 440.0 Hertz and is to be increased by 1 cent: 440.00 Hz * 1200 2 = 440.26 Hz The frequency of oscillation is given with 440.00 Hertz is to be increased by 5 cent. 440.
3.4 PRE- SETTING OF CENT IN HISTORICAL TEMPERAMENTS The following tables are permanently stored in the Tuning Set CTS-5 Number 00 Number 01 Number 02 Number 03 Number 04 Number 05 Number 06 Number 07 Number 08 Number 09 Number 10 Number 11 Number 12 Number 13 Number 14 Number 15 Number 16 a 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 bb Equal Temperament Kirnberger-III Werckmeister-III Meantone Neidhard (1724) Neidhard (1729) Valotti Silbermann Silbermann (P.Vier) Bruder (P.
The current temperament is "Kirnberger III", the selected cent relation tone is "a" (i.e. cent relation function is not active): a 0 bb +6.5 b -1.5 c c# +10.5 +0.5 d +3.5 d# +4.5 e -3.5 f +8.5 f# +0.5 g +7.0 g# +2.5 g -3.5 g# -8.0 By using cent relation tone = "c" all cent values will be lowered by 10.5 cent. a -10.5 bb -4.0 b -12.0 c 0 c# d -10.0 -7.0 d# -6.0 e -14.0 f -2.0 f# -10.0 The description of how to select the cent relation tone is in chapter 3.4.3. 3.4.
Use mode 4 "TEMP. HIST" for this. First select a temperament. The display will be similar to the following: WERCKMEISTER-III >4< NUMBER 02 Now press keys "S" and "E" briefly and simultaneously: CENT REF.: A >4< Select the cent relation tone with the keys "<" or ">" . Then press key "E": TRANSP. A --> A >4< Select the transposition tone with the keys "<" or ">" . Then press key "E": >4< TEMP.
1. Switch off the device. 2. Hold key "A" pressed, while switching on the device, and keep it pressed until the following display appears: SWITCH ON MODE 1 changing 1...5 You can now select the mode number which is to appear when the device is switched on. If you need for example mode 2 "PITCH", press key "E" when the number "2" is displayed.
