Other Keyboard-related Functions
● Left Hold
This function causes the Left part voice to be held even when the keys are released. Non-
decaying voices such as strings are held continuously, while decay-type voices such as piano
decay more slowly (as if the sustain pedal has been pressed).
This function is especially effective when used with the auto accompaniment. For example, if
you play and release a chord in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard (with the
Left part on and the Left voice set to Strings), the strings part sustains, adding a natural rich-
ness to the overall accompaniment sound.
● Transpose
With this function, you can transpose the pitch of the 9000Pro up or down over a range of ±2
octaves in semitone steps. Three transposing methods (Keyboard, Song, and Master) are
available; select the desired method in the Function display (page 162), then use the
[TRANSPOSE] buttons to change the value.
• Keyboard
The [TRANSPOSE] buttons affect the pitch of the keyboard sound, the accompaniment
pitch, and the pitch of the Multi Pads for which Chord Match has been set to on. Note that
the transposition is applied from the next note (or accompaniment chord) played, after
one of the [TRANSPOSE] buttons has been pressed.
• Song
The [TRANSPOSE] buttons affect only the song playback.
• Master
The [TRANSPOSE] buttons affect the overall pitch of the 9000Pro.
Normal pitch (transpose value of “0”) can be recalled at any time by pressing both the [<] and
[>] buttons simultaneously.
The transposition can be adjusted from the Mixing Console display (page 145).
