PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE
You can also adjust the tuning and change the transposition (key) of the
entire PortaTone sound with the Transpose and Tuning functions.
TRANSPOSE AND TUNING
Transpose
Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord
accompaniment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the
songs. This allows you to easily match the pitch of the PortaTone to other
instruments or singers, or play in a different key without changing your
fingering. The Transpose settings can be adjusted over a range of
±
12
semitones (
±
1 octave).
1
Select the Transpose function in the Overall menu.
Press one of the OVERALL ▲/▼ buttons, repeatedly if necessary, until
“Transpos” appears in the display.
2
Change the value.
Use the OVERALL +/- buttons to increase or decrease the Transpose value.
Holding down either button continuously increases or decreases the value.
Restoring the Default
Transpose Value
If you’ve changed the
Transpose setting, you can
instantly restore the
default setting of “00” by
pressing both OVERALL +/-
buttons simultaneously
(when Transpose is
selected in the Overall
menu).
