• This displays the transpose screen shown below.

2.While holding down the R-13 (FUNCTION) button, use the dial or the R-14 (–, +) buttons to change the setting value.

3.Press the R-13 (FUNCTION) button.

•This exits the transpose screen.

•Setting a transposed value other than 00 will cause the B indicator to appear on the display.

•The current transpose setting is applied to the notes of all parts (UPPER 1, UPPER 2, LOWER, Auto Accompaniment, etc.) played on the keyboard. The MIDI out note number when a keyboard key is pressed is also shifted in accordance with the transpose setting.

Using Octave Shift

You can use octave shift to individually change the octave of the UPPER 1, UPPER 2, and LOWER parts. You can use octave shift to raise or lower the octave of a song, to assign different octaves to the left side and right side keyboards while the keyboard is split, or to play two notes in different octaves while the keyboard is layered.
