Playing Along With A Song

Changing the Key of the Keyboard or Song Playback

(Transpose)

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

When you transpose the keyboard, the [Transpose] button’s indicator will light. If the transpose setting
is “0,” the button’s indicator will be dark.
When set to “Link On,” the values for the keyboard and the song data are the same.
When set to “Link Off,” the values for the keyboard and the song data can be set separately. To cancel
transposition, press the [Transpose] button, getting its indicator to go dark.
The transposition setting returns to “0”, when you choose another song.
