16 TRANSPOSE

The TRANSPOSE function allows for a track or part to be transposed by a user specified number of semitones. When TRANSPOSE is held down in part mode, the display reads:

The keypad can be used to enter a two-digit number of semitones to tranpose up from the original pitch (00-99), or the +/- buttons can be used to increment or decrement the amount. Like in ERASE mode, all eight track select LEDs are lit, indicating that the transposition will affect all tracks. If a track select button is pressed, all other track LEDs will turn off, and only the selected track will be lit. Additional tracks can be selected by pressing the select track buttons, which will toggle the LEDs on or off for each track. Pressing the page up or page down button will change the display to:

Now the number entered from the keypad selects the number of semitones to transpose down. For either transpose up or down, pressing the RECORD button executes the transpose command, resulting in the following display:

This display remains until RECORD is released. If a track that is transposed results in an underflow (notes below 0) or an overflow (notes above 127), the track will automatically re-adjust the pitch in octave increments until it is back in legal range.

The TRANSPOSE button does not function while playing a part or song.
