Transpose

Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompani- ment of the selected style. The Transpose settings can be adjusted over a range of ±12 semitones (±1 octave).

Press the [OVERALL] button repeatedly to select “TRANSPOSE”.

Current Transpose value

Press the numeric keypad or [+]/[–] buttons to set the desired Transpose value (–12 – +12).

To transpose the pitch down, simultaneously press and hold the [] button, and use the numeric keypad to type in the (negative) value.

• You can instantly restore the default setting of “00” by pressing both [+]/[] but- tons simultaneously (when Transpose is selected).

The Transpose function has no effect on the Drum Kits voices (#100).

If the Transpose value is adjusted (other than “00”), the ABC and DoReMi voices sound using Oboe voice.
