RANSPOSING
In some cases, a song may be written in a difficult key (e.g., many black keys), or
you may wish to shift the pitch to match another instrument or vocalist. In such
cases, you can transpose (shift the pitch) so that you can use an easier fingering,
or use the same familiar fingering to play at a different pitch. This is called the
Transpose function.
For example if you transpose upward by one semitone, playing the notes shown
at the lower left will produce the pitches shown at the right.
1. Press the TRANSPOSE button. If the keyboard is already transposed, its LED
will be on, otherwise it will remain dark.
2. Keep the TRANSPOSE button pressed for three seconds, until its LED starts
blinking.
3. Press the note corresponding to the desired transposition:
NOTE: If no note is played after four seconds, the transpose function will turn off.
4. Press the TRANSPOSE button again to turn transposition off. The LED will
turn off.
NOTE: When the instrument is turned off, transposing is reset.
