Well TemperedOn-screen & Bluetooth Keyboard Reference
The keyboard workflow is your fast ear-check loop: compare intervals, test phrase color, and decide without guesswork.
What this enables
- Rapid A/B listening between settings
- Hands-on checks during correction passes
- Stable phrase verification before rehearsal
- Troubleshooting by controlled comparison
Why use keyboard-assisted checks?
Numeric alignment alone does not guarantee a convincing phrase. Keyboard reference playback gives you immediate musical feedback: you can hear interval behavior and phrase tension quickly while tuning decisions are still easy to adjust.
On-screen vs Bluetooth keyboard
- On-screen keyboard: fastest when traveling light or making quick spot checks.
- Bluetooth keyboard: comfortable for repeated A/B tests in longer sessions.
The method is identical: play the same material repeatedly while changing one variable at a time (reference, temperament, or correction target).
Recommended comparison loop
- Choose one short phrase with a clear harmonic center.
- Play it in current settings and listen for specific tension points.
- Change exactly one variable (for example temperament).
- Replay immediately using the keyboard reference path.
- Keep the setting that improves blend and phrase direction.
Good habits
- Keep comparisons short and repeatable.
- Do not change reference pitch and temperament simultaneously during A/B tests.
- If results feel inconsistent, pause and run the checks in Troubleshooting.
