8) TRANSPOSE
The TRANSPOSE function allows the audible pitch of the EP3 digital piano to be raised or lowered in half 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. The transpose feature allows the song to be played in the original key, but
heard in another key.
Step 1
Press and hold the TRANSPOSE button, then press the
T or S VALUE/BALANCE buttons to specify
the desired transposition value.
The LED indicator for the TRANSPOSE button will turn on, indicating
that the transpose function has been activated.
The currently selected transpose setting will be shown in the LED
display.
The pitch can be transposed by up to 12 halftones higher or 12
halftones lower.
Alternatively, while holding the TRANSPOSE button, press the keys from C2 to C4, to set the desired
transpose value.
Step 2
Press the TRANSPOSE button again to deactivate the transpose function.
The LED indicator for the TRANSPOSE button will turn off, indicating that the transpose function has been
deactivated.
Pressing the TRANSPOSE button once again will reactivate the transpose function, recalling the previously
selected transpose value type.
„ Transpose is active when the LED indicator for the TRANSPOSE button is turned on, and the notes are transposed
according to the specifi ed transpose value. For example, if the transpose setting is ‘-3’ and the LED indicator for the
TRANSPOSE button is turned on, and the notes will be transposed 3 half steps lower. When the LED indicator for
the TRANSPOSE button is turned off, the transpose setting will automatically return to ‘0’ (no transposition) with one
touch.
„ When the transpose value is set to ‘0’, the LED indicator for the TRANSPOSE button will not turn on.
„ Any changes made to the transpose value will remain until the power is turned off.
„ When the power is turned off, the transpose value will return to the default setting of ‘0’, however it is possible to use
the Memory Backup function to store the preferred transpose value. Please refer to the instructions on page 56 for
more information.
