4.1 About the Function mode

The functions described below need to be set in “Function mode”. After selecting that mode, you can use the HP-1’s keys (on the keyboard) to make the desired settings.

Some of the available functions (Dual balance and Reverb level) have already been discussed and will not be repeated.

4.2 Transposing (same fingering, different notes)

You can play in a different key while still using exactly the same fingering. That way, even songs originally written in a difficult key with many (sharps) or (flats) (i.e. with many black keys), can be played in a more convenient way. This is especially useful when you are used to playing a given song in one key, while someone else wants you to play it in another key: just change the Transpose setting and you’re there.

The transposition remains in effect until you change it or until you switch off the HP-1.

[Ex.] Playing in C and sounding in E

1.Simultaneously press [Demo] and [Reverb] to enter Function mode (both indicators flash).

2.Use the “C5”~“B5” notes to select the key.

For our example, press the “E” note in the indicated range.

3.To return to the previous condition, press the “C5” (leftmost note of the indicated range).

4.Press [Demo] and [Reverb] again to leave the

HP-1’s Function mode.

Note: The transposition only applies to the notes you play on the HP-1’s keyboard. It does not apply to note messages received via the MIDI IN connector.
