3)Use the -/NO- and +/YES buttons in the VALUE/SONG section to adjust the value of your choice.

5.1.1 Quick access to layer mode functions

Use the following operating procedure for direct access to the layer mode menu pages.

1)Press and hold down the two sound buttons selected for layer mode

(e.g. GRAND 1 and STRINGS) and press the MODE button in the TEMPO/EDIT MODE section.

The EDIT LED lights up and the EDIT page E31. is displayed.

5.2 Transposition

The sounds produced by the EG2280USB/EG8280USB can be transposed up or down by half-tones (key by key). This is useful, for example if you want to play a piece in a key that is easier to play because it has few or no accidentals at all (e.g. C major), but intend the piece to sound in a difficult key with lots of accidentals (e.g. D flat major).

Example: D flat major has five flats (accidentals). In this key you would have to play a lot of black keys. However, if you transpose the sounds up by one half-tone, you can easily play the piece on the white keys (C major). It can be helpful to transpose the keyboard by an octave (12 halftones), for example to play low notes in the middle register where they can be played more comfortably.

1)Press and hold the TRANSPOSE button and use the -/NO and +/YES buttons in the VALUE/SONG section to adjust the transposition value of your choice in half-tone steps.

The display reads:

0:

No transposition (default setting)

1... 12: Keyboard is transposed up by the number of half-tones selected.

-1 ... -12:

Keyboard is transposed down by the number of

 

half-tones selected.

2) Release the TRANSPOSE button when the desired value has been selected.

◊The LED above the TRANSPOSE button lights up when the transposition feature is active, i.e. when a value other than zero has been set.

◊If a transposition interval has already been set, you can enable/disable the transposition function using the TRANSPOSE button.

5.3 Layer mode settings

In layer mode you can effect additional settings for advanced playing with two sounds at the same time.

All sounds are numbered internally from 1 through 14. This order of sounds determines which sound is addressed internally as voice #1, voice #2, etc., which in turn is important for making changes to the sounds selected.

In our example the two sounds GRAND 1 and STRINGS are being used in layer mode. Internally, GRAND 1 is #1, STRINGS is #11. The sound with the lower number is addressed internally as voice #1 (here: GRAND 1), the sound with the higher number as voice #2 (here: STRINGS).

◊Please note the order of voices used in the sound combination selected, in order to understand which settings apply to which voice in the examples below.

◊A layer combination consisting of two sounds must be set up before you can adjust the following functions (see chapter 4.1).

5.3.1 Volume ratio
