Chapter 4 Using the Performance Functions

Transposing to a Different Key (Key
Transpose)

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.
