Transposing without Changing Your Fingering —Key Transpose

You can play in a different key-without changing the keys you are playing. This function is called “Key Transpose.” When you are accompanying a singer, you can use Key Transpose to match the vocal pitch of the singer, allowing you to transpose easily while using the same printed music (keyboard fingering).

Power

A 3

A3 B3

Keys	Types	Descriptions
A3	LIGHT	With this setting, fortissimo can be
		produced using much less force than
		normal, thus making the keys seem
		lighter. This setting makes it easy to
		play, even for children.
A#3	MEDIUM	Normal setting, providing the most
		natural touch, closest to that of an
		acoustic piano.
B3	HEAVY	With this setting, to play fortissimo the
		keys must be played much more
		strongly than normally, as if the keys
		had become heavier. Adds even more
		emotion when you play with lots of
		dynamics.

Key transpositions remain in effect until the keyboard’s power is turned off.

1.While holding down the [DEMO/KEY TOUCH] button, press the tonic (root) of

the key to which you want to transpose.

Use the C2–B2 notes to select the tonic.
