Play the key whose pitchyou want to adjust, then use the [-] or [+] buttons to adjust its pitch.Stretch TuningOff, Preset,User (User: -50–0–+50)What is the Duplex Scale?The Duplex Scale is a system of sympathetically vibrating strings sometimes included in grand pianos.These sympathetically vibrating strings are not struck directly with hammers, but sound by vibrating in sympathy with the vibrations of otherstrings. By resonating with the overtones, these strings add richness and brilliance to the sound. These sympathetic strings are added only tothe high register above approximately C4. Since they do not have a damper (a mechanism that stops them from sounding), they will continuesounding even after you play a note and then release it to stop the sound of the string that was actually struck.35
