Chapter 3. Performance

Changing the Pitch of the Keyboard

Sound (Transpose)

By using the “Transpose function,” you can transpose your performance without
changing the notes you play. For example, even if the song is in a difficult key with

numerous sharps (

) or flats (

), you can transpose it to a key that is easier for you

to play. 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).

Press the [

] (Value -) button or [

] (Value +) button to select the

transposition value.

The keyboard is transposed by a semitone each time you press the [

] (Value -)

button or [

] (Value +) button. Pressing the [

] (Value -) and [

] (Value

+) buttons simultaneously returns the setting to the original value (0).
This can be set in a range of -6–0–+5 (semitone steps).

When Link is set to “Off,” you

can transpose the song and the

notes from the keyboard

separately.
