Pitch-related functions

Transpose function

The FR-3 contains a Transpose function that allows you

to change the key of the music you are playing. The

advantage of this system is that you can play a song in

E major (for example), while using the fingering of the

C major scale (for example). This may come in handy

when you are used to playing a given song in one key

and suddenly need to play it in a different key.

Let’s look at an example:

(1) Press and hold the [SET] register until the display

shows a parameter name, then release it.

(2) Use register [3÷√] or [4÷®] to select the following

parameter:

(3) Use register [1÷–] or [2÷+] to set the desired value.

The setting range is –6~0~5 (where “0” means that

no transposition is used). The value (“3” in the exam-

ple above) refers to the interval. This can be calcu-

lated as follows:

• In what key do you want to play? (This is your “0”

value.)

Example→ C major

• What key does the song use?

Example→ E major

• How many semitones do you need to “shift” the

notes?

Example→ [C#, D, Eb, E]= 4 up, so “4”.

(4) Press the [SET] register to leave “PARAM LIST”

mode.

Note: This parameter is reset when you switch off the FR-3.

Transposing the Treble section in octave steps

The parameter discussed here allows you to transpose

the Treble (accordion) section one octave up (“Up”) or

down (“dn”). This can be used for two purposes: to

quickly correct the pitch that results from the active

reeds, or to avoid overlaps of the selected register when

using a Treble Orchestra sound.

Here is how to transpose the Treble section (i.e. the

accordion notes) one octave up or down.

(1) Leave “PARAM LIST” or “MIDI LIST” mode (if you

haven’t yet done so) by pressing [SET] once.

(2) Hold down [SET] while using register [1÷–] or [2÷+] to

select the desired setting:

Note: If the display now shows another message, briefly press

[SET] again, then repeat this step.

(3) Release the [SET] register and start playing.
