8) TRANSPOSE

The TRANSPOSE function allows the audible pitch of the CN33 digital piano to be raised or lowered in half steps. This is particularly useful when accompanying instruments with different tones, or when a song learned in one key must be played in another key. The transpose feature allows the song to be played in the original key, but heard in another key.
