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.
To quickly familiarize yourself with the Tuning Set, follow the examples given in part 2 on a musical
instrument, and closely stick to the guidance.
Don't try to memorize the key sequences in the examples. Try to understand the operation of the
Tuning Set by tracing the example steps on the diagram.
Note the arrow in the lower, right hand corner of the LC-Display:
When this arrow appears, the keys ">" and "<"
are used for mode selection. You are then at >1< TUNING ->
the highest operating level of the diagram
for operation modes.
The text in the display then shows you what you may do with the keys "<" and ">", after you have
depressed the key "E":
>1< TUNING Select a tone
>2< PITCH Adjust a standard pitch
>3< CENTMESS Measure or adjust a tone in cent
>4< TEMPERATURE Select a historical temperament
>5< STRETCHING Select a piano-stretching
>6< INTERVAL Tune a pure interval (CTS-5-P and PE only)
>7< STORAGE Store a tuning or temperature (CTS-5-P and PE only).
Pressing the key "E" makes the arrow disappear. The Tuning Set is now in the selected mode. With
the keys "<" and ">" you can now carry out your previously selected mode.
Again pressing the key "E" makes the arrow reappear, and you have left the mode. With the keys
"<" and ">" you may select a new mode of operation.
The input or adjustment made within a mode will remain intact after you exit the mode.
An exception is mode Number 7 (STORAGE). This mode cannot be left by pressing key "E", but
only by simultaneous depression of keys "E" and "S".
All inputs or adjustments made in the operation modes will not be erased by turning the Tuning Set
on or off. One exception is the standard pitch, which automatically resets to a1 after the Tuning Set
is turned on.
