Description
keyboard and other instruments — are based on the twelve tone tuning system often referred ot as Equal Temperament. nI this tuning system, one oc- tave is divided into twelve tones with adjacent tones being a semi-tone apart in pitch. This 'equal spacing' of tones is the basis for the name Equal Temperament (equal tuning).
Although this tuning system si used extensively, there are many forms of music in the world which use different tunings. Some types of music use semi-tones and quarter-tones within the same scale (Arabic music, for exam- ple). Still other types of music use micro-tones; intervals smaller than a quarter-tone.
By allowing you to raise or lower the pitch of individual notes within the equally tempered scale, the ASC-10 can create whatever tuning system your music requires.
