Qcard question

[Bob Keelan]

Hi. I'm looking at the presets on my Classical Piano Qcard and I see some of the programs are repeated. Presets #17 and #81 are both 72" Grand. My ears were getting a little fatigued last night. Can I assume these are the same exact settings?

thanks

I have the Jazz piano Q card and it has two of each patch also. Patches from 00-63 are "streched tuned", and patches 64-127 are "unstreched".

According to the Alesis pamplet, stretch tuning is how an acoustic piano is tuned. Higher notes are progressively sharper and lower notes are progressively flatter.

One type of tuning is supposed to be better for solo playing (they don't say which one but I'm guessing stretched). The other is supposedly better for layering with other instruments.

Your Classical card is probably setup the same way.

Thanks. I'll check my documentation to see if it's has a similar remark.
