TRANSPOSE
The TRANSPOSE function allows for a track or part to be transposed by a user specified
number of semitones. When TRANSPOSE is heid down in part mode, the dispiay reads;
TRANSPOSE UP
flO SEMiTONES
The keypad can be used to enter a two-digit number of semitones to transpose up from
the original pitch (00-99), or the +/- buttons can be used to increment or decrement the
amount. Like in ERASE mode, aii eight track seiect LEDs are iit, indicating that the
transposition will effect all tracks. If a track select button is pressed, aii other track LEDs wiii

down. For either transpose up or down, pressing the RECORD button executes the
transpose command, resuiting in the following display:
TRANSPOSE DONE
This dispiay remains untii RECORD is reieased. If a track that is transposed resuits in an
underflow (notes below 0) or an overflow (notes above 127), the track will automatically
readjust the pitch in octave increments untii it is back in legal range.
The TRANSPOSE button does not function whiie piaying a part or song.
TEMPO
The TEMPO button is used to change the tempo of a part or song. The tempo is stored
with a song, and not with a part. Whiie in part mode, the tempo remains at its previous
setting until changed. While in song mode, the tempo changes to the programmed tempo
each time a different song is selected. While in either part or song mode, pressing the
tempo button results in the following display:
TEMPO. 120
BEATS PER MINUTE
While holding the TEMPO button, the +/- buttons can be used to select a new tempo, or a
tempo can be entered directly with three digits on the keypad. Tempo changes are
effective as soon as they are entered, and the RECORD button does not have to be
pressed. In part mode, the RECORD button has no function for TEMPO. In song mode
(while not playing), pressing RECORD stores the selected tempo into the current song.
Otherwise, it is a temporary tempo change that will be forgotten once a different song is
selected. If RECORD is pressed, the display changes to:
SONG TEMPO SAVED
