Playing

The “Transpose” function lets you change the pitch without changing your keyboard fingering.

This is convenient when you need to play in a different key in order to match the range of a vocalist, or when playing from notation

that was written for a transposing instrument such as a trumpet.

The transposition range is from -1 octaves (-12 semitones) to +1 octaves (+12 semitones) in semitone steps.

If the transposition setting causes any keys to exceed the range of A0–C8, those keys may sound one octave higher (or lower).

The MIDI OUT connector and USB MIDI connector will transmit note messages as transposed by this setting.

Note messages received via the MIDI IN connector or USB MIDI connector will not be transposed.

While holding down the [TRANSPOSE] button, press a key.

For example, if you want the “E” pitch to sound when you play the “C” key, hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and press the E4 key.

This specifies a transpose setting of “+4.”

The previous screen will reappear when you release the [TRANSPOSE] button.

If you’ve specified a transposition, the Transpose function will be on and the [TRANSPOSE] button will light. If the transposition

amount is “0,” the indicator will not light even if you press the [TRANSPOSE] button.
