SELECTING AND PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE
TRANSPOSE AND TUNING
You can also adjust the tuning and change the transposition (key) of the PortaTone with the Trans- pose and Tuning functions.
Transpose
Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompaniment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs and the Multi Pads. This allows you to easily match the pitch of the PortaTone to other instruments or singers, or play in a different key without changing your fingering. The Transpose settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 12 semitones (± 1 octave).
Select the Transpose function in the Overall menu.
Press the OVERALL t button, repeatedly if necessary, until “Transpos” ap- pears in the display.

Restoring the Default Transpose Value
If you’ve changed the Transpose setting, you can instantly restore the default setting of “00” by pressing both OVERALL +/- buttons simultaneously (when Transpose is selected in the Overall menu).
NOTE:
This setting has no effect on the DrumKit voice (#90, #100). Also, this setting cannot be changed during song playback.
