Other Useful Functions

To change the key of the keyboard

The transpose feature of this keyboard lets you raise or lower
its key in semitone increments. This means you can easily
match to suit someone’s voice, and you can eliminate sharps
and flats from music making it easier to play.

1.

While in any mode besides the Song Bank Mode
(indicated when the SONG BANK indicator is
lit), hold down the TONE button and press the
RHYTHM button.

• Perform step 2 within five seconds after performing

step 1.

2.

Use the TEMPO/VALUE buttons to change the
key of the keyboard.

Example: To change the tuning to B (indicated by -1

since it is one tone below C, which is the
normal tuning of the keyboard).

Polyphony

The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes
you can play at the same time. This keyboard has 12-note
polyphony, which includes the notes you play as well as the
rhythms and auto-accompaniment patterns that are played
by the keyboard. This means that when a rhythm or auto-
accompaniment pattern is being played by the keyboard, the
number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is
reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 6-note
polyphony.

• When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the

number of sounds simultaneously played is reduced.

• Though you can sound up to 12 notes at one time, only the

last four keyboard keys pressed light up.
