Transpose

The Transpose function allows the pitch of the MP10’s keyboard to be raised or lowered in semi-tone steps. This is

particularly useful when accompanying instruments with different tones, or when a song learned in one key must be

played in another key. When transposed, the song can be played in the original key, yet heard in a different key.

The current TRANSPOSE value will pop-up briefly in the LCD

display.

The default value, 0, indicates no transposition.

or +/YES buttons to decrease or increase the value of the
