Using the AX-Synth's performance functions The AX-Synth provides several functions that allow you to add expression to your music, change the pitch/key, etc. Master Tune This parameter allows you to change the AX-Synth's overall tuning. The factory default, 440Hz, represents the reference pitch used by most electronic musical instruments. (1) Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [TRANPOSE] button. Transpose Your AX-Synth comes with a TRANSPOSE function you may want to use for playing songs in other keys than the ones you are used to. (1) Hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and wait until the current transposition interval flashes in the display. ENGLISH The current tuning value flashes in the display and the [WRITE] button flashes. (2) Keep holding the [SHIFT] button and set the desired tuning value with the VARIATION [DEC÷­]/[INC÷+] buttons. (2) Keep holding the [TRANSPOSE] button and press OCTAVE/VARIATION [+] or [­] to set the desired value. ENGLISH Press [INC÷+] to increase the value, or [DEC÷­] to select a lower one. You may have to press the selected button several times to select the desired value. The display only shows the last three digits (the initial "4" is therefore omitted). To scroll through the available values, you can hold down either VARIATION [INC÷+] or [DEC÷­]. To scroll even faster, press and hold the "other" VARIATION button. You can play on the keyboard to check whether you have selected the correct interval. Feel free to change it again before confirming you setting (see below). (3) Press the [WRITE] button to confirm your setting. The setting range is "­5" (five semi-tones down) to "6" (six semi-tones up).
