TRANSPOSE THE INSTRUMENT (SEMI- TONES)

If you would like to play a Song in a different key, or a song is too high or too low for a singer or other instrument, you can transpose PS1500 to play the song in an easier key.

The TRANSPOSE +/– buttons allow real time semitone adjustments (transpositions) of the overall pitch (range ± 12 semitones = 1 octave).

1.Press TRANSPOSE+ to raise the pitch or TRANS- POSE– to lower the pitch.

TRANSPOSE+ pressed once displays an in- crease of +01.

TRANSPOSE– pressed once displays a de- crease of –01:

Holding either button changes the value con- tinually until +12 or –12 is reached.

The LED on one of the buttons will be on to indicate that the instrument is currently in a Transposed status (sharp # or flat b).
