Transpose

The TRANSPOSE function can be activated with any sound, or with the HYMNS & CHILDRENS SONGS feature. The TRANSPOSE function changes the keyboard pitch by semitones, down (–) 12 semitones or up (+) 12 semitones.

Select Pitch: or Return to Standard Pitch: and

Choose any one of the sounds. Then, press the left TRANSPOSE button one (1) time. Notice that a “C” key will be heard as a “B” note. The pitch of the LH-1 has been shifted downward by one semitone. The lamp in the left TRANSPOSE button will light to alert you that the TRANSPOSE feature is activated. Also, a box in the Display will appear to tell you that the LH-1 is transposed down one semitone (TRANSPOSE –1).

Now press the right TRANSPOSE button one (1) time. The LH-1 will return to standard pitch, the lamp on the TRANSPOSE button will go off, and the TRANSPOSE box in the Display will disappear. When you press the right TRANSPOSE button again, the pitch will be raised by one semitone (so a played “C” will be heard as a “C#”). The lamp in the right TRANSPOSE button will light and a box in the Display will appear showing

TRANSPOSE +1.

NOTE: To return to standard pitch at any time, press both TRANSPOSE buttons simultaneously. The lamps will go out to indicate standard pitch.
