Transposing the Keyboard
Transpose lets you raise and lower the overall key of the keyboard in
semitone units. If you want to play accompaniment for a vocalist
whose sings in a specific key, for example, you can use transpose to
change the key of the keyboard without having to learn to play the
song in another key.
To transpose the keyboard
Use the TRANSPOSE buttons ( ̆ and ̄) to change the trans-
pose 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.
• The display changes from the transpose screen back to its normal screen
if you do not perform any key operation for about three seconds.
• To return the transpose setting its initial default of 00, display the trans-
pose screen and press the TRANSPOSE buttons ( ̆ and ̄ ) at the same
time.
• The transpose setting also affects the sequencer and Auto Accompani-
ment. It does not, however, affect Auto Accompaniment drum parts.
