•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 allowable pitch 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 keyboard to a high key, notes played at the highest range of the keyboard may not sound properly for certain tones.
