Transpose and Tuning

You can also adjust the tuning and change the transposition (key) of the PSR-160

with the Transpose and Tuning functions.

Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompa-

niment 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 PSR-160 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).

Press the [OVERALL] button, repeatedly if necessary, until “TRANSPOS”

appears in the display.

2Change the value.

Use the numeric keypad to set the desired Transpose value (-12 - +12). To

transpose the pitch down, simultaneously press the [-] button and use the

numeric keypad to type in the (negative) value. You can also use the [+]/[-]

buttons to increase or decrease the value. Holding down either button con-

tinuously increases or decreases the value.
