Performing with the Keyboard
You can transpose performances without changing the keys you are playing, as well
as change the pitch by an octave. This feature is called “Transpose.”
This is a convenient feature to use when you want to match the pitch of the keyboard
performance to a vocalist’s pitch, or perform using the printed music for trumpets or
other transposed instruments.
The reference Transpose setting is C4, and the setting can be adjusted in semitone
units in a range of -48–0–+48.
