Kawai Concert Performer Series Digital Piano P. 22
Transpose and Octa ve Shift
Transpose raises or lowers the CP’ s pitch in half- step increments. Octave Shift does the same but
in octave increments.
Transpose can be especially useful when you have learned a song in one key and have to play it in
another key. The transpose feature allows you to play the song in the original key , but hear it in
another key. Y ou can transpose the Concert Magic songs, the Accompaniment Styles, any songs
played back by the Easy/Advanced Recorder and any of the over 600 instrument and drum sounds
available in the CP .
Octave shift can be very useful when you are playing multiple sounds across the keyboard. Yo u
may want to use the octave shift to adjust a bass sound assigned to the LEFT/SPLIT Part to play in
the proper pitch range, or to set one sound in a layer to play in a different octave so that it mixes
well with other sounds in the layer. Octave shift is only available for the three Parts: LEFT/SPLIT ,
RIGHT1 and RIGHT 2.
To T ranspose:
1) Press either the ß or † TRANSPOSE buttons. The LCD screen shows you a number telling you how
many half steps up or down you have transposed the piano. -5, for example, represents a transposition
that is 5 half steps lower.

amount will disappear from the LCD screen, indicating that the CP is now back to its original setting.
