Transposition – [TRANSPOSE]
This instrument’s Transpose function makes it possible to easily match the pitch of the keyboard in semitone intervals to
the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to “5,” playing the C key pro-
duces a pitch of F. In this way, you can play a song as though it were in C major, and the F11/F01 will automatically trans-
pose it to the key of F.
