Sounds and effects

The TRANSPOSE buttons are used to change the key of the entire instrument in semi-tone steps across an entire octave.

Suppose you learn to play a song—in the key of C, for example—and decide you want to sing it, only to find that it’s either too high or too low for your voice. Your choice is to either learn the song all over again in a different key, or to use the TRANSPOSE feature.

TRANSPOSE

–+

Adjust the key with the + and – buttons.

•The key is changed in half-tone increments up to plus or minus one octave.

•If the two buttons are pressed at the same time, the key returns to C.

•When the TRANSPOSE function is active, the transposed key is shown on the HOME PAGE display.

<Example: transposed to D>
