8Transpose and Pitch Controls
There are two pitch-related controls on the Electone: Transpose and Pitch. Transpose allows you to change the
key of the instrument and Pitch lets you finely adjust the tuning. These features make it easy to change the key
of a song to accommodate a vocalist’s range or to precisely match the tuning of another instrument.
