Press the [Pitch] button repeatedly until the indicator of the desired pitch lights. Selecting a temperament The C-230 allows you to easily change the temperament. By using historical temperaments to play music that is appropriate for the characteristics of each temperament, you can more strongly bring out the beauty or tension inherent in a composition. In particular, when playing a composition that uses a transposable temperament and includes transpositions, the sonority of the chords will change when a transposition occurs, creating subtle changes in the coloration of the piece. "Werckmeister" is a temperament that combines Meantone and Pythagorean scales to enhance the degree of transposability, and has been used ever since Bach up to the present. "Kirnberger" was conceived using similar methods, and is used mainly when playing the organ works of Bach. "Vallotti" is the most recent of the temperaments described here. It is close to equal temperament, but since it is somewhat pure, it blends easily with other instruments, and today is often used in ensembles. Meantone was popular throughout Europe during the Baroque era, and was used customarily by Baroque musicians such as Handel as well as in compositions of the Renaissance period. Press the [Temperament] button repeatedly until the indicator of the desired temperament lights. If you proceed past Meantone, you will "wrap around" to Equal. The [Temperament] button only lights when a temperament other than "Equal" is selected. "Equal" will be selected every time the power is turned on. Equal Werckmeister Kirnberger Vallotti Meantone Equal temperament Werckmeister temperament Kirnberger temperament Vallotti Meantone temperament (E ) The difference between the various temperaments may not always be obvious. 20 Additional Convenient Functionality <Advanced Operation> Listening to the demo songs The C-230 contains 22 pieces that allow you to audition its sounds.
