SELECTING AND PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE

TRANSPOSE AND TUNING

You can also adjust the tuning and change the transposition (key) of the PortaTone with the Trans- pose and Tuning functions.

Transpose

Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompaniment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs and the Multi Pads. This allows you to easily match the pitch of the PortaTone to other instruments or singers, or play in a different key without changing your fingering. The Transpose settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 12 semitones (± 1 octave).

Select the Transpose function in the Overall menu.

Press the OVERALL t button, repeatedly if necessary, until “Transpos” ap- pears in the display.

Current Transpose value

Change the value.

Use the OVERALL +/- buttons to increase or decrease the Transpose value.

Holding down either button continuously increases or decreases the value.

Restoring the Default Transpose Value

If you’ve changed the Transpose setting, you can instantly restore the default setting of “00” by pressing both OVERALL +/- buttons simultaneously (when Transpose is selected in the Overall menu).

NOTE:

This setting has no effect on the DrumKit voice (#90, #100). Also, this setting cannot be changed during song playback.
