Equal Temperament
142
This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and is
the most widely used method of temperament used in
Western music. The Fantom VS employs equal
temperament when the Scale Tune Switch is set to
“OFF.”
Just Temperament (Tonic of C)
Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads
sound pure in this tuning. However, this effect is
achieved only in one key, and the triads will become
ambiguous if you transpose.
Arabian Scale
In this scale, E and B are a quarter note lower and C#, F#
and G# are a quarter-note higher compared to equal
temperament. The intervals between G and B, C and E, F
and G#, Bb and C#, and Eb and F# have a natural third—
the interval between a major third and a minor third. On
the Fantom VS, you can use Arabian temperament in
the three keys of G, C and F.
