Digital Piano Settings

Transposing the Digital Piano

Transpose lets you raise and lower the overall key of the digital piano in semitone units. If you want to play an accompaniment for a vocalist who sings in a key that’s different from the digital piano, for example, simply use transpose to change the key of the digital piano.

To transpose the digital piano

1Press the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button.•This causes the FUNCTION indicator to appear on the display.

2Use [+] and [–] to change the transpose setting of the keyboard.Example: To transpose the digital piano five semitones upwards.

0 5 T r a n s .

•Pressing the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button exits the transpose screen.

NOTE

•The digital piano can be transposed within a range of – 24 (two octave downwards) to +24 (two octave upwards).

•The transpose setting also affects playback from song memory and Auto Accompaniment.

•The allowable pitch range you can transpose within depends on the tone you are using. When transpose results in a note that is higher than the allowable pitch range, the keyboard replaces the note with one of the following.

•The nearest note in the allowable pitch range (regardless of the pitch of the original note)

•The same note in the nearest octave of the allowablepitch range

In the case of a note that is lower than the allowable pitch range, the note is replaced with the nearest note in the allowable pitch range (regardless of the pitch of the original note).

•After using Transpose to raise the digital piano to a high key, notes played at the highest range of the keyboard may not sound properly for certain tones.

Using Touch Response

When touch response is turned on, the relative volume of sound output by the digital piano is varied in accordance with the amount of pressure applied, just like an acoustic piano.

To turn touch response on and off

1Press the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button.

•This causes the FUNCTION indicator to appear on the display.

2Use the [￿] and [￿] CURSOR buttons to display the touch response setting screen.

3Use the [+] and [–] buttons to select the touch response sensitivity level.

•“1” outputs powerful sound even with light key pressure, while “3” requires very heavy key pressure to output powerful sound.

•Pressing [+] and [–] at the same time returns sensitivity to the “2” setting.

•When you select “Off”, the tone does not change regardless of how much pressure you apply to the keyboard.

NOTE

•Touch response not only affects the digital piano’s internal sound source, it also is output as MIDI data.

•Song Memory playback, accompaniment, and external MIDI note data do not affect the touch response setting.
