Using the Play Functions

Transposing to a Different Key
(Transpose Buttons)

You can transpose the key of a performance without having to shift the
position of your fingers on the keyboard. This feature is called “Key
Transpose.”

For example: you may play in the familiar C major scale while your music
will sound in any key of your choice.

1.

Press the Transpose [-] and [+] buttons.

Each press of the Transpose [-] or [+] button transposes the key a semitone.

The transpose value is displayed in the screen.

Acceptable values range from A to G (in semitone steps).

If the pitch is transposed (something other than C), the indicator of one of
the Transpose buttons, either [-] [+], will be lit. If the pitch is not transposed
(i.e., the key is C), the indicator of both the Transpose [-] and [+] buttons will
be extinguished.

By pressing the Transpose
[-] [+] buttons
simultaneously, you can
restore the default setting
C.
