Keyboard Settings

Transpose lets you raise and lower the overall key of the
keyboard in semitone units. If you want to play an
accompaniment for a vocalist who sings in a key that’s
different from the keyboard, for example, simply use
transpose to change the key of the keyboard.

1.

Press the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button.

Š This causes a pointer to appear on the display

next to TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION, and displays
the transpose setting screen.

2.

Use [+] and [–] to change the transpose setting
of the keyboard.

Example:

To transpose the keyboard five semitones
upwards.

Š Pressing the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button

exits the transpose screen.

Š

The keyboard can be transposed within a range of –24 (two
octave downwards) to +24 (two octave upwards).

Š

The transpose setting also affects playback from song
memory and Auto Accompaniment.

Š

The allowable pitch range you can transpose within
depends on the tone you are using. If a transpose
operation causes a note to be outside of the pitch range for
the tone being used, the keyboard automatically plays the
same note in the nearest octave that falls within the pitch
range of the tone you are using.

When touch response is turned on, the relative volume of
sound output by the keyboard is varied in accordance with
the amount of pressure applied, just like an acoustic piano.

1.

Press the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button.

Š This causes a pointer to appear on the display

next to TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION.

2.

Use the [ ] and [ ] CURSOR buttons to
display the touch response setting screen.

3.

Use the [+] and [–] buttons to select the touch

response sensitivity level.

Š “1” outputs powerful sound even with light key

pressure, while “3” requires very heavy key
pressure to output powerful sound.

Š Pressing [+] and [–] at the same time returns

sensitivity to the “2” setting.

Š When you select “oFF”, the tone does not change

regardless of how much pressure you apply to
the keyboard.

Š

Touch response not only affects the keyboard’s internal
sound source, it also is output as MIDI data.

Š

Song Memory playback, accompaniment, and external
MIDI note data do not affect the touch response setting.
