Cancel Transpose and Tune
To cancel any transpose and tune set-
tings, tap the Transpose button
[9]
once again. To return to your previous
Transpose and Tune settings, just tap
Transpose again without touching any
keys or the Tremolo Speed knob
[6].
Transposition
When you play music with singers or
other instrumentalists, you are often
asked to play a song in a different key
without having the time to practice.
Consider yourself lucky if you are one
of the few who can do this easily. For
the rest of us, it might be easier to
quickly change the tuning of the instru-
ment instead. To transpose the key-
board, press and hold the Transpose
button
[9], then play any key from C2
to C4, and then release the button. If
you have pressed a key other than
middle C (no transposition), the Tran-
pose button illuminates to indicate that
transposition is active.
Transposition is possible in a range of
+/- one octave from the middle C, the
C note close to the Transpose button
[9]. If you pressed D for your trans-
position, now when you play a song in
the key of C major, it sounds like it is in
D major.
Tuning
When playing with other instruments, it
is sometimes necessary to re-tune
your instrument slightly in order to be
in tune with other instruments that are
not able to be tuned or played by musi-
cians that do not want to change their
tuning. The process is similar to Trans-
pose: press and hold the Transpose
button
[9], then move the neighboring
Tremolo Speed knob [6] until your
Zarenbourg is in tune with the other
instruments. The center position (no
tuning change) is shown when the
Tremolo indicator is lit
[7]. When re-
tuning is active, this is indicated by
the Transpose button
[9] being lit.
