Using the OCTAVE [5] buttons ([+],
[–]), the soundable range of the key-
board can be shifted up or down,
allowing you to access notes that lie
beyond the range covered by the
PC-300’s 49 keys.
Selecting a higher octave: OCTAVE
[+]
Press [+] once to raise the note num-
bers transmitted by the keyboard by
one octave. Repeat this to shift the
keyboard two octaves higher. By
pressing this button four times, you
can raise the keyboard’s pitch by 4
octaves.
Note: When shifting the keyboard 4
octaves up, the gray keys do not
transmit notes messages.
Selecting a lower octave: OCTAVE
[–]
Press [–] once to lower the note num-
bers transmitted by the keyboard by
one octave. As you can see, this will
shift the C2 one octave to the right,
while the C6 is no longer available.
Repeat this procedure to lower the
pitch by up to 3 octaves.
Returning to the normal sound
range: STANDARD
Press [+] and [–] simultaneously.
