Section 8 — Understanding Programs TS-10 Musician’s Manual

You are now free to create a new custom pitch-table in your current program.

Now that you understand the relationship between the source key, playback pitch, and fine

tuning in a custom pitch-table, let’s start over. This time we’ll work with an ancient tuning

system, called Pythagorean. Then, we’ll work with the TS-10 built-in pitch-table calculator, and

two new procedures: Extrapolation and Interpolation.

Creating and Extrapolating a Custom Pitch-Table

The EXTRAPOLATE command takes the pitch-table relationships from within a key range and

duplicates those relationships outside that range.

• If you have a custom pitch-table from the previous exercise, remove as shown above.

• Select a program into which you want to write a custom pitch-table.

• Press Program Control. This takes us to the Program Control page.

• Make sure OPTION=

*-NONE-*

is underlined.

• Press the Up Arrow button.

• Press PITCH-TABLE to REMOVE VOICES 5+6. This takes us to the Select Voice page.

• Select a voice into which you want to write a custom pitch-table.

• Press Pitch Mods.

• Select PITCHTBL=

CUSTOM

• Press Select Voice to return to the Select Voice page.

• Press either of the soft buttons beneath EDIT PITCH-TABLE. This takes us to the Pitch-Table

Editor page.

• The display shows the source key and playback pitch as described earlier.

• To set up one octave of a Pythagorean scale, change the source keys, playback pitches, and cents,

one note at a time, from C4 to C5 — to the following values:

Source Key Playback Pitch Cents

C4 C4 00

C4+ C4+ 17

D4 D4 04

D4+ D4+ 01

E4 E4 08

F4 E4 98

F4+ F4+ 12

G4 G4 02

G4+ G4+ 14

A4 A4 06

A4+ A4 98

B4 B4 10

C5 C5 00

You can manually edit your custom pitch-table across the remaining octaves of the keyboard. Or

you can use the Calculator in the TS-10 to do this for you.

• Press the soft button above *CALCULATOR*. The display reads something like this:

1 2 ... 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 ... 371 372
