3. Section Transpose
Press the CURSOR RIGHT button to pass to the Section Transpose
function. This function is useful for “octave shifting” when using a Split or
Layer Preset. An octave shift is obtained by setting the transpose value
to – 12 (one octave lower than normal) or +12 (one octave higher than
normal). A maximum Transposition of + 24 or – 24 semitones (2 octaves)
can be obtained. A section transpose setting affects the individual Sound
Programs of the current Preset, not the instrument as a whole (as with the
Transpose buttons).
The pitch of the currently displayed sound can be transposed using the
DATA + or – buttons. To raise the pitch, use the Data + button. To lower
it, use the Data – button.
The display examples below show section transpose settings for the Main
sound of one semitone below standard pitch (a) and one semitone above
(b), indicated by the note symbols C=B and C=C#:
a) b)
