YING THE PIANO
8) TRANSPOSE
The TRANSPOSE function allows the audible pitch of the CN33 digital piano to be raised or lowered in half 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. The transpose feature allows the song to be played in the original key, but heard
in another key.
Step 1
Press and hold the TRANSPOSE button, then press the S or T VALUE buttons to specify the desired
transposition value.
The LED indicator for the TRANSPOSE button will turn on,
indicating that the transpose function has been activated.
The currently selected transpose setting will be shown in the
LED display.
The pitch can be transposed by up to 12 halftones higher or
12 halftones lower.
Alternatively, while holding the TRANSPOSE button, press the keys from C2 to C4, to set the desired
transpose value.
Step 1
Press the TRANSPOSE button again to deactivate the transpose function.
The LED indicator for the TRANSPOSE button will turn off, indicating that the transpose function has been
deactivated.
Pressing the TRANSPOSE button once again will reactivate the transpose function, recalling the previously selected
transpose value type.
„ Transpose is active when the LED indicator for the TRANSPOSE button is turned on, and the notes are transposed
according to the specified transpose value. For example, if the transpose setting is ‘-3’ and the LED indicator for the
TRANSPOSE button is turned on, and the notes will be transposed 3 half steps lower. When the LED indicator for
the TRANSPOSE button is turned off, the transpose setting will automatically return to ‘0’ (no transposition) with one
touch.
„ When the transpose value is set to ‘0’, the LED indicator for the TRANSPOSE button will not turn on.
„ Any changes made to the transpose value will remain until the power is turned off.
