Transposing the Keyboard

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.

To transpose the keyboard

1.

Press the TRANSPOSE/TUNE/MIDI button until the
transpose screen appears on the display.

2.

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

Example: To transpose the keyboard five semitones upwards.

NOTES

• The keyboard can be transposed within a range of –12 (one octave

downwards) to +12 (one octave upwards).

• The default transpose setting is “00” when keyboard power is turned on.
• If you leave the transpose screen on the display for about five seconds

without doing anything, the screen is automatically cleared.

• The transpose setting also affects playback from memory and Auto Ac-

companiment.

TRANSPOSE/TUNE/MIDI Button

Each press of the TRANSPOSE/TUNE/MIDI button cycles through
a total of 12 setting screens: the transpose screen, the tuning screen,
and 10 MIDI setting screens (page E-36). If you accidentally pass the
screen you want to use, keep pressing the TRANSPOSE/TUNE/MIDI
button until the screen appears again.

Using Touch Response

When touch response is turned on, the relative volume of sound out-
put by the keyboard is varied in accordance with the amount of pres-
sure applied, just like an acoustic piano.

To turn touch response on and off

Press the TOUCH RESPONSE button to toggle touch re-
sponse on and off.

• Touch response is on when touch response indicator is on.

• Touch response is off when touch response indicator is off.

NOTES

• You can adjust touch response sensitivity using the procedure under

“TOUCH CURVE” on page E-39.

• Touch response not only affects the keyboard’s internal sound source, it

also is output as MIDI data.

• Memory playback, accompaniment, and external MIDI note data does

not affect the touch response setting.
