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. See chapter 3.7.
For tuning the next higher semi-tone,
tap key ">" briefly. This raises the CTS-5
by one semi-tone.
b 1 PITCH: 440.0
>1< CENTS: 00.0
Similarly, if you tap key "<", you lower the
CTS-5 by one semi-tone. a 1 PITCH: 440.0

Constantly depressing key "S" and
simultaneously tapping key ">" briefly, will
raise CTS-5 by one octave.
a 2 PITCH: 440.0
>1< CENTS: 00.0
Constantly depressing key "S" and
simultaneously tapping key "<" briefly, will
lower CTS-5 by one octave.
a 1 PITCH: 440.0
1< CENTS: 00.0
If you depress either key "<" or ">" constantly, the desired function will repeat itself every 0.5
seconds.
Now depress key "A":

AUTOMATIC MODE
The CTS-5 now automatically follows the tone level of the played tone. The automated switching
was intentionally limited to two semi-tone steps (*), to avoid undesired tuning of partial tones. For
the same reason the AUTOMATIC MODE is not available for the two lowest octaves.
Again depressing key "A" switches off the AUTOMATIC MODE.
If you constantly depress key "S" and tap key "A", you can hear the selected tone over the built-in
loudspeaker. The same key combination will turn off the tone. (Only available in CTS-5-P and
PE)
(*) This limitation can be switched off. See chapter 3.7 for details.
2.2 PRESETTING OF THE STANDARD PITCH
The standard pitch of the CTS-5 may be adjusted from 380.0 to 470.0 Hertz.
After switching on the CTS-5.
