Chapter 5. Changing Various Settings
 
 
Tuning to Other Instruments’ 
Pitches (Master Tuning)
 
In situations such as when playing ensemble with other 
instruments, you can tune the HP103’s standard pitch to the 
pitch of another instrument. The standard pitch generally 
refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you finger 
the middle A key. This tuning of all the instruments to a 
standard pitch is called “tuning.”
If you press 
 
the [Piano] button
 
 
fig.disp-tune
 
The last three digits are indicated in the display. “440.0 Hz” 
is indicated in the figure above.
 
Value
 
415.3 Hz–440.0 Hz–466.2 Hz
 
Power-up default setting
 
440.0 Hz
This setting remains in effect until you turn off the power.
 
 
Changing the Temperament
 
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic 
temperaments (tuning methods).
Today, compositions are generally created with equal 
temperament in mind and are played using equal 
temperament. However in past ages of classical music, a 
variety of temperaments were used. Playing a composition 
with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the 
chords that the composer originally intended.
If you press 
 
the [E.Piano] button
 
 
fig.disp-temp.j
 
You can choose from among the seven temperaments 
described below.
 
Power-up default setting
 
1 C
 
Tonic
 
When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, 
you need to specify the tonic note for tuning the song to be 
performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major 
key or to A for a minor key).
While hold down 
 
the [E. Piano] button
 
, and press 
 
a note
 
 to 
specify the desired tonic key.
The tonic note you specify will be displayed as follows.
 
fig.Chart_note2.j
 
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select 
a tonic note.
 
* If you record with a temperament other than equal 
temperament selected, and then want to play back that 
performance, use this setting to select the same temperament 
for playback as the temperament you used when recording. 
* When performing in ensemble with other instruments, be 
aware that depending on the key, there may be some shifting of 
the pitch. Tune the HP103 to the fundamental pitch of the 
other instruments.

Qualities
1
 
Equal
In this tuning, each octave is divided 
into twelve equal steps. Every 
interval produces about the same 
amount of slight dissonance. This 
setting is in effect when you turn on 
the power.
Temperament
Tonic
 
2
 
Pythagor
ean
This tuning, devised by the 
philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates 
dissonance in fourths and fifths. 
Dissonance is produced by third-
interval chords, but melodies are 
euphonious.
 
3
 
Just 
Major
This tuning eliminates ambiguities in 
the fifths and thirds. It is unsuited to 
playing melodies and cannot be 
transposed, but is capable of 
beautiful sonorities.
 
4
 
Just 
Minor
The Just tunings differ from major 
and minor keys. You can get the 
same effect with the minor scale as 
with the major scale.
 
5
 
Mean 
Tone
This scale makes some compromises 
in just intonation, enabling 
transposition to other keys.
 
6
 
Werck-
meister
This temperament combines the 
Mean Tone and Pythagorean 
tunings. Performances are possible in 
all keys (first technique, III).
 
7
 
Kirn-
berger
This is an improvement of the Mean 
Tone and Just tunings that provides a 
high degree of freedom of 
modulation. Performances are 
possible in all keys (III).
