The ZR-76 keyboard transpose function allows you to easily change the key in which your music is heard

without actually changing where you place your fingers on the ZRÕs keyboard. You can set the amount of

transposition by holding the Transpose button and pressing a key on the ZRÕs keyboardÑits semitone

distance above or below Middle C will determine the number of semitones by which your music will be

transposed. You can also determine the transposition amount by using the Value knob. In either case, the

ZRÕs display will provide visual confirmation of the keyboard transpose amount.

The transpose function affects the behavior of the ZR-76 keyboard itselfÑthe sounds

you play are not internally altered. When you turn Transpose off, theyÕll return to their

programmed pitches.

The Transpose LED is lit whenever the ZR-76 keyboard is being transposed.

If the Keyboard Transpose Amount is set to 0st (for Ò0 semitone stepsÓ), the

Transpose LED will not light, since no keyboard transposition occurs at that setting.

1. Press and hold the Transpose button.

The display will show:

Keyboard Transpose:

Amount: 0st

The number of semitone steps by which the keyboard is currently transposed

The keyboard pitch can be shifted by as many as 24 semitone steps downward (-24st) and 24 steps

upward (+24st). A value of 0st means that the keyboard is not transposed.

You can change this value by pressing a key on the keyboard while the Transpose button is held down.

Middle C will select 0st. Each key up or down from middle C will select a value one semitone higher or

lower than the original pitch.

2. While still holding the Transpose button, press a key on the keyboard to select the desired transpose

value.

1. Press the Transpose button. The display will show:

Keyboard Transpose:

Amount: 0st

The number of semitone steps by which the keyboard is currently transposed
