Transpose the instrument

TRANSPOSE THE INSTRUMENT (SEMI-
TONES)

If you would like to play a Song in a different key,
or a song is too high or too low for a singer or
other instrument, you can transpose PS1500 to
play the song in an easier key.

The TRANSPOSE +/– buttons allow real time
semitone adjustments (transpositions) of the
overall pitch (range

±

12 semitones = 1 octave).

1. Press TRANSPOSE+ to raise the pitch or TRANS-

POSE– to lower the pitch.

TRANSPOSE+ pressed once displays an in-
crease of +01.

TRANSPOSE– pressed once displays a de-
crease of –01:

Holding either button changes the value con-
tinually until +12 or –12 is reached.

The LED on one of the buttons will be on to
indicate that the instrument is currently in a
Transposed status (sharp or flat ).
