It Even Does This! — Convenient Functions

Transposing without Changing Your Fingering— Key Transpose

You can play in a different key-without changing the keys you are playing. This function is called “Key Transpose.” When you are accompanying a singer, you can use Key Transpose to match the vocal pitch of the singer, allowing you to transpose easily while using the same printed music (keyboard fingering).

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

*The transposition setting is effective only on sounds performed on the pt-2000’s keyboard. This setting is not effective on tones from external MIDI messages played on the pt-2000.

key to which you want to transpose.
