Additional Convenient Functionality
You can transpose your playing without changing the position at which you play the keys. For example, if you’re playing a song
in a difficult key signature that contains numerous sharps (
) or flats ( ), you can transpose the pitch of the keyboard and play
the piece in an easier key.
1.
Press and hold the [Pitch] button until the indicator on
the button starts flashing in green.
2.
While holding down the [Pitch] button, play the tonic
note of the key to which you want to transpose the
keyboard.
You can also hold down the [Pitch] and [Temperament]
buttons and press the key of the desired tonic note.
3.
Release the [Pitch] button.
If this is set to any key other than C, the [Pitch] button
will light green.
For example, if you want the E pitch to sound when
you play the C key, hold down the [Pitch] button and
press the E key.
4.
To return the keyboard to its normal state, hold down
the [Pitch] button and press a C key.
* You can transpose the keyboard in a range of five semitones
upward (F) or six semitones downward (F#) relative to C.
* You can specify the transpose setting by pressing a key of any
octave.
Immediately after you turn on the power, the key
transpose setting will be in the normal state.
