Link Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Hi all. Having an absolute ball with a newly acquired CT-S1 here, a truly fabulous little bit of kit. One thing that I just cannot fathom is the Scale Tuning and Base Note functionality. They simply appear to be doing nothing here. Scale across they keys remains the same, as does trying to change the base note. It's mainly the scale base note function that I am interested in and everything else works as expected. The procedure in the manual seems straightforward enough... Function G2 (beep) > (keep holding Function) > Press required base note C2-B2 (beep) > release Function... Nada. Zilch. Nothing. Likewise with Scale Tuning. Nothing changes. What am I missing? Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 The 'Piano Remote Controller' within the Casio Music Space app usually provides scale tuning and base note functionality on other keyboards in the Casio range. Not ideal but a solution of sorts. But, of course, this section of the app isn't available when connected to the CT-S1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 It sounds like you're using the correct key combinations. Do you have prior experience using various temperaments on other instruments? Differences in various tunings can be subtle or virtually indistinguishable depending on the type selected and chords played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Hi Brad. I've seen this implemented a number of different ways over the years and it does appear to be working upon further investigation. My error was in how I was expecting the base note function implementation. It seems that the tunings scale 'from' the selected base note leaving the layout of the keys intact. This actually makes a lot of sense but isn't what was expected as an old Yamaha I had used to remap the keys starting from the base note. This could also be used as a funky transposition tool as a by-product. It was the non-change 'to' a new base note that was throwing me but this is actually a more sensible implementation and a great little unexpected extra. Appreciate the feedback. It made me wonder if I had missed something obvious. And I had! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
