Module: FUNCTION Function: TRANSPOSE
This function transposes the keyboard in half-step intervals ± one octave.
Applications: Use one key’s fingerings in a different key. Modulate to a different key without having to
use different fingerings.
1. Press and hold TRANSPOSE; its LED will flash. The display says:
If the keyboard has already been transposed, the TRANSPOSE LED will be steadily lit. If you press
and hold TRANSPOSE, not only will its LED flash, but also the display will show the amount of
transposition referenced to C2 (see GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 6), the second C from the left-hand
side of the keyboard. For example, if Emax is one whole-step sharp, the display says:
2. To transpose: Continue to press TRANSPOSE and press a key between C1 and C3. The display
shows which keyboard key you have selected for the transposition ratio (compared to C2).
3. To retain the transposition: Release TRANSPOSE (its LED stays lit to remind you Emax is
transposed).
4. To cancel the transposition: Press and hold TRANSPOSE, press C2, and then release TRANSPOSE
(its LED should now be off).
Note: Transpose transposes the key number rather than the voice assignment. This means that
selecting the current voice and any other use of the keyboard will show the transposed key
number. In short, you should turn off transpose before selecting or modifying any voices. The
note sent over MIDI is post-transposition. Notes from the sequencer or MIDI are also
transposed.
Application: Use transpose to easily reach “hidden” voices that lie beyond the ends of the physical
keyboard.
Module: FUNCTION Function: DYNAMIC ALLOCATION
This function bypasses existing Voice to Output Channel assignments, and makes all Voices
available at all Channels (as if all Voices were assigned to Channels 1 - 8 - -refer to PRESET
DEFINITION 2, “Edit Assignment”).
Application: Audition all Voice sounds without having to listen to specific Channels.
1. Press DYNAMIC ALLOCATION to override Voice Output Channel assignments; press again to de-
activate.
