Transposing the Key of the Keyboard
([TRANSPOSE])
You can transpose performances without changing the keys you are
playing, as well as change the pitch by an octave. This feature is called
“Transpose.”
This is a convenient feature to use when you want to match the pitch of the
keyboard performance to a vocalist’s pitch, or perform using the printed
music for trumpets or other transposed instruments.
The reference Transpose setting is C4, and the setting can be adjusted in
semitone units in a range of -41–0– +42.
