Changing the Pitch of the Keyboard or Song Playback (Transpose)

By using the “Transpose” function, you can transpose your performance without changing the notes

you play. For example, if a song is in a difficult key with numerous sharps ( ) or flats ( ), you can use
this function to play it in an easier key.
You can also use this function to play back a song in a different key.
When accompanying a vocalist, you can easily transpose the pitch to a range that is comfortable for the
singer, while still playing the notes as written (i.e., with the same fingering positions).
