Chapter 3. Performance

Changing the Pitch of the Keyboard

Sound (Transpose)

By using the “Transpose function,” you can transpose your performance

without changing the notes you play.

For example, even if the song is in a difficult key with numerous sharps ( )

or flats ( ), you can transpose it to a key that is easier for you to play.

When accompanying a vocalist, you can easily transpose the pitch to a range

that is comfortable for the singer, while still playing the notes as written (i.e.,

with the same fingering positions).

Press the [Function] (Exit) button so the indicator is lit.

Press the [Song] (Select -) button or [ ] (Select +) button to

display the TRANSPOSE screen.

Press the [ ] (Value -) button or [ ] (Value +) button to

switch the Link setting to “On.”

When set to “On,” the keyboard and song are transposed simultaneously.

Press the [Song] (Select -) button or [ ] (Select +) button to get

the value for “Keyboard/Playback” to flash.

Press the [ ] (Value -) button or [ ] (Value +) button to

select the transposition value.

The keyboard is transposed by a semitone each time you press the [ ]

(Value -) button or [ ] (Value +) button.

Pressing the [ ] (Value -) and [ ] (Value +) buttons simultaneously

returns the setting to the original value (0).

Value: -6–0–+5 (semitone steps)

Press the [Function] (Exit) button so the indicator goes out.

When Link is set to “Off,”

you can transpose the notes

from the keyboard and the

song and separately (p. 62).
