Transposing the Key of the Keyboard

(Transpose)

By using the “Transpose function,” you can transpose your performance without
changing the notes you play. For example, even if the song is in a difficult key with
numerous sharps ( ) or flats ( ), you can transpose it to a key that is easier for you
to play.
When accompanying a vocalist, you can easily transpose the pitch to a range that is
comfortable for the singer, while still playing the notes as written (i.e., with the same
fingering positions).

The available range is -6–0–5 (semitone steps).
For example, if you want the E pitch to sound when you play the C key, hold down the
[METRONOME] and [REVERB/KEY TOUCH] buttons and press the E5 key.
