Other Keyboard part functions
(3) Release the [TRANSPOSE] button.
(4) Press the [TRANSPOSE] button again to switch off the Transpose function (if it is still on).
The [TRANSPOSE] indicator goes dark.
Note: There is also a function that allows you to specify which section(s) the Transpose function should apply to. See “Trp Mode” (p. 42).
TRANSPOSE
The default transposition interval is “1” (one semitone up).
To change the interval:
(1) Press and hold the [TRANSPOSE] button until the “TrpValue” message appears
in the display.
(2) Use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial to select the desired transposition interval (–6~5 semi- tones).
Here’s an example: if you want to hear a “D” every time you play a “C”, select “2”. All other notes will be shifted by the same amount so that you end up sounding in D major when you actually play in C major, etc.

Transpose
The Transpose function changes the pitch of the notes and chords you play. Instead of figuring out what other keys you need to press to accommodate the singer or an instrumentalist, you can set the required Transpose value and go on playing the song the way you practised it while sounding in a different key. See the example below.
(1) Press the [TRANSPOSE] button (indicatorNo transposition (C major) lights).
TrpValue= 4 (E major)
