In addition to the tuning method described on page 24, overall tuning can also be accom-

plished via the F1 function.

After selecting “F1”, use the [–/NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons to lower or raise the pitch in 

approximately 0.2 Hz increments (the first time the [–/NO

▼] or [+/YES▲] button is pressed 

simply switches to the tuning value display without actually changing the tuning). The overall 
tuning range is from 427.0 Hz to 453.0 Hz (corresponding to the A3 note’s Hz). Press the [–/
NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons simultaneously to recall the default value “440.0 Hz”.

Tenths of a Hertz are indicated on the LED display by the appearance and position of one or 

two dots, as in the following example:

After selecting “F2.Y”, press the [+/YES

▲] button to engage the scale function sub-mode, 

then use the [TEMPO/FUNCTION# 

▼, ▲] buttons to select the desired scale function, as 

listed below. 

F2.1: Scale................................................................................................

In addition to the standard Equal Temperament tuning, the P-120/P-120S includes 6 classic 

tunings that you can select and use to play music of the corresponding period, or experiment 
with in a more modern context. The tunings are:

1: Equal Temperament

5: Mean Tone

2: Pure Major

6: Werckmeister

3: Pure Minor

7: Kirnberger

4: Pythagorean

Use the [–/NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons to select the number of the desired tuning.

 Press 

the 

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons simultaneously to recall the default settings 

(Equal Temperament tuning).

F2.2: Base Note .......................................................................................

Unlike Equal Temperament tuning, these classic tunings must be tuned to a specific key. 

Use the [–/NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons to select the key you want the previously selected 

tuning to be based. The selected key will appear on the display, followed by a low bar if flat 
(e.g. “A_”) or a high bar if sharp (e.g. “F~”).

Press the [–/NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons simultaneously to recall the default settings “C”.
