Transposing without Changing Your Fingering —Key Transpose

You can play in a different key—without changing the keys you are playing.

When playing in a difficult key with many (sharps) or (flats), you can transpose the keyboard to play in an easier key.

Key transpositions remain in effect until the keyboard’s power is turned off.

you want to transpose.

Use the C2–B2 notes to select the key.

→For the notes that correspond to each setting, refer to “Functions Assigned to the Keyboard” (p. 31).
