■ Transposing the Keyboard in
Semitone Steps (Transpose)
Transpose changes keyboard pitch in units of semitones (-5–
+6 semitones).
This function is useful when you play transposed
instruments such as trumpet or clarinet following a printed
score.
1. Press [TRANSPOSE] to light indicator.
This turns Transpose on.
2. While holding down [TRANSPOSE], press [+OCT] or [-
OCT] to transpose the keyboard.
Pressing [+OCT] once while holding down [TRANSPOSE]
will raise the keyboard one semitone. Pressing [-OCT] once
while holding down [TRANSPOSE] will lower the keyboard
one semitone.
The specified Transpose setting will be added to the Octave
Shift value. For example, if you hold down [TRANSPOSE]
and press [+OCT] once to raise the keyboard a semitone, the
display will indicate “center=C#4.” So when C4 is pressed,
the C#4 note will sound.
3. To turn off Transpose, press [TRANSPOSE] once again
so that its indicator goes off.
The Transpose setting you make will be maintained.
* The Transpose setting you make here will also change the
Transpose parameter (SYSTEM/CONTROL/KEYBOARD).
* The setting you make will be maintained even if you select a
different Patch, Performance or Rhythm Set, or turn the power
off.

second.
