Transposition – [TRANSPOSE]

The instrument’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or

down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily

match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you

set the transposition amount to “5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play a

song as though it were in C major, and the instrument will transpose it to the key of F.

Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] button while holding the [TRANSPOSE] button to trans-
pose down or up as required. The amount of transposition appears on the display while
the [TRANSPOSE] button is held. The default transpose setting is “0.”
The [TRANSPOSE] button indicator remains lit when a transpose setting other than
“0” is selected. Every time the [TRANSPOSE] button is pressed after that switches the
transpose function ON or OFF.
