Keyboard Settings

E-64

Transpose lets you raise and lower the overall key of the
keyboard in semitone units. If you want to play an
accompaniment for a vocalist who sings in a key that’s
different from the keyboard, for example, simply use
transpose to change the key of the keyboard.

1.

Press the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button.

• This causes a pointer to appear on the display next to

TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION, and displays the
transpose setting screen.

2.

Use [+] and [–] to change the transpose setting of
the keyboard.

Example:

To transpose the keyboard five semitones
upwards.

• Pressing the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button exits

the transpose screen.

• The keyboard can be transposed within a range of –24 (two

octave downwards) to +24 (two octave upwards).

• The transpose setting also affects playback from song

memory and Auto Accompaniment.

• The allowable pitch range you can transpose within depends

on the tone you are using. If a transpose operation causes a
note to be outside of the pitch range for the tone being used,
the keyboard automatically plays the same note in the
nearest octave that falls within the pitch range of the tone you
are using.

When touch response is turned on, the relative volume of
sound output by the keyboard is varied in accordance with
the amount of pressure applied, just like an acoustic piano.

1.

Press the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button.

• This causes a pointer to appear on the display next to

TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION.

2.

Use the [ ] and [ ] CURSOR buttons to display
the touch response setting screen.

3.

Use the [+] and [–] buttons to select the touch
response sensitivity level.

• “1” outputs powerful sound even with light key

pressure, while “3” requires very heavy key pressure
to output powerful sound.

• Pressing [+] and [–] at the same time returns

sensitivity to the “2” setting.

• When you select “oFF”, the tone does not change

regardless of how much pressure you apply to the
keyboard.

• Touch response not only affects the keyboard’s internal

sound source, it also is output as MIDI data.

• Song Memory playback, accompaniment, and external MIDI

note data do not affect the touch response setting.
