Transpose
The Transpose function allows the pitch of the MP10’s keyboard to be raised or lowered in semi-tone steps. This is
particularly useful when accompanying instruments with different tones, or when a song learned in one key must be
played in another key. When transposed, the song can be played in the original key, yet heard in a different key.
