■ Transpose
The P-200 has a multi-faceted transpose feature that lets you transpose the pitch at
the touch of a button while you play.
The P-200 has four independent transpose paths, which let you set transpose values
for the internal main voice as well as the sub voice, and which also let you set
transpose values for the MIDI main and sub voices which will affect external devices.
Transpose is particularly useful in the Dual and Split modes. In the Dual mode, for
example, you can play two different voices at the same time, each having a different
pitch.
The P-200’s default main voice transpose setting is 12, which means the pitch will
transpose up one octave when you press the [TRANSPOSE] button. The default sub
voice transpose amounts are set to 0 for Dual and Split modes.
USING THE TRANSPOSE FEATURE
1. Press the [TRANSPOSE] button to transpose the pitch of the keyboard.
The LED above the [TRANSPOSE] button lights and the TRANSPOSE screen
with current transpose value appears.
Depending on the current status and mode, the TRANSPOSE screen will be
different. For example, if the P-200 is in Split mode and the MIDI transmit
switch is enabled, the screen will display internal and MIDI main and sub voice
transposition values.
