This way, it ensures everything is in tune and with each other and that it responds to the MIDI notes correctly ( A4 = 440 Hz, etc.).

This allows the 1983 to be used tuning correction device (quantizer) without the necessity or using MIDI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eMicro tuning\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDefault tuning is A = 440Hz in equal temperament, but alternative tuning systems are possible with the µTune feature.
