Selecting and Playing Voices — The Voice Mode
Transpose and Tuning
You can also adjust the tuning and change the transposition (key) of the PortaTone with the Trans-
pose and Tuning functions.
Transpose
Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompaniment of the
selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs and the Multi Pads. This allows you to easily
match the pitch of the PortaTone to other instruments or singers, or play in a different key without
changing your fingering. The Transpose settings can be adjusted over a range of
±
12 semitones (
±
1
octave).
Select the Transpose function in the Overall menu.
Press the OVERALL t button, repeatedly if necessary, until “Transpos” ap-
pears in the display.
Change the value.
Use the OVERALL +/- buttons to increase or decrease the Transpose value.
Holding down either button continuously increases or decreases the value.
Restoring the Default Transpose Value
If you’ve changed the Transpose setting, you can instantly
restore the default setting of “00” by pressing both
OVERALL +/- buttons simultaneously (when Transpose is
selected in the Overall menu).
NOTE:
This setting has no effect on the DrumKit voice (#90, #100).
Also, this setting cannot be changed during song playback.
