••<br />

Pop/Jazz (3/5/7-all): 5ths, 3rds, and 7ths are changed in this mode. It is great for Pop and Jazz<br />

styles, especially when using sustained chords. It is less suitable for polyphonic music because<br />

the detuning of the natural 7th is significant. This mode should always be used with a Depth<br />

of 90% or 100% because other values will render the natural 7th acoustically ineffective.<br />

••<br />

Baroque (3/5-adaptive): This mode tunes pure 5ths and 3rds (with changing characteristics). In<br />

tonal music, with a clear harmonic center, the middle chords are tuned very purely, whereas<br />

more distant chords are tuned with less purity. If the harmonic center becomes unclear, all<br />

chords are tuned with equal purity. As with the other mode parameters, a Depth value of<br />

100% determines the highest purity, and a value of 10%, the lowest purity.<br />

When <strong>User</strong> Tuning is chosen, edit any of the following parameters:<br />

••<br />

Semitone boxes: Detune each semitone in steps, by dragging vertically in each semitone box<br />

until you reach the value you want. Alternately, you can double-click in each semitone box,<br />

and enter a value. Press Return or click in another box to exit text entry mode.<br />

••<br />

Reset button: Resets all of your tuning adjustments to their default values.<br />

••<br />

Upper slider: Determines the deviation (from the equal tempered scale) in the treble end of the<br />

sound. The higher the value, the farther down the low notes are tuned. A setting of 0 results in<br />

an equal tempered scale tuning.<br />

••<br />

Stretch Lower slider: Determines the deviation (from the equal tempered scale) in the bass end<br />

of the sound. The higher the value, the further down the low notes are tuned. A setting of 0<br />

results in an equal tempered scale tuning.<br />

••<br />

Root Key pop-up menu: Allows you to choose a global key (C-B) for the chosen scale. This<br />

provides an easy way to reference the chosen scale to any root note.<br />
