The “Key Transpose” function lets you play a song at a different key. If you’re
accompanying a singer, you can use the Transpose function to shift the pitch to a key
that’s comfortable for the singer while you continue playing in the same familiar key
(fingering).
You can also use this function to transpose the pitch of your playing without changing
your fingering on the keyboard. For example, if the song is in a difficult key with
numerous sharps ( ) or flats ( ), you can transpose to a key that’s easier for you to play.

On the HP207, you can transpose the pitch of just the keyboard, or the pitch of the keyboard and
song together, or the pitch of just the song (Transpose Mode; p. 81).
When the HP207 is shipped from the factory, it is set so that the pitch of the keyboard and song
will be transposed together (“Changing the Key of the Song Playback (Playback Transpose)” p.
55).

With the [Transpose] button held down, you can change the value, even by pressing
the [-] or [+] button.
The available range is -6–0– +5 (semitone steps).
If this is set to a value other than 0, the [Transpose] button will light.
If the transpose value is not “0,” you can use the [Transpose] button to turn the Transpose function
on/off.
When you release the [Transpose] button, you return to the previous screen.
By holding down the [Transpose] button and pressing both the [-] and [+] buttons
simultaneously, the setting returns to its original value (0).
The transpose setting will return to “0” when you select another song.
