santope Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I am a bit confused with the way the settings work and I would like to know if others have the same experience, or if I am missing something, or should have my keyboard checked.I have toggled the "backup" setting which should mean that settings are kept when you turn the keyboard off.The settings for touch response (which I set to 3) and the "backup" setting (which I set to "on") are stored when I switch off.However, the "volume" settings (for accompaniment etc.) go back to the defaults, and the "stretch" setting goes back to "on".I have not experimented with other settings, and the manual says that this "will save various settings..." without saying which ones.Secondary question: shouldn't the default for "stretch" be "off"? If so, even more strange that it keeps going back to "on". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpcohen Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 The default for "stretch" should be "on". I believe that most piano tuners -- for acoustic pianos -- use "stretched' tuning in the upper octaves. I vaguely remember the reason -- it has to do with the harmonics of the high strings being detuned from 2f, 3f, etc. And the "stretch" tends to bring them back, at the cost of de-tuning the fundamental.The "PianoWorld.com" forums have a sub-forum for piano tuners -- you could ask there..

cpcohen Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 And on the first question - - I found that if I saved the "state" of the piano in a Registration (see pg E-33 of the manual), just about everything (including Layer Balance) was saved. The list of saved settings _is_ in the manual for Registrations -- "Layer balance" and "touch response" are included.. Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlesCharles, Thanks for taking the time to answerI do not use layers, but I do care about the volume settings, hence my question.Your reply is useful, however, in that I can use registrations as a second-best solution instead of saving the volume under the "power on" settings (I assume that is impossible...)Indeed the volume settings are mentioned in page E-33, for "Areas 1 to 4 only" . There are only 4 areas, so I wonder what that could mean...experimenting is our substitute for a clear manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
