Transpose
The TRANSPOSE function allows you to quickly change the overall pitch of the
instrument, raising or lowering it in steps of one semitone at a time (max. +/–
12 semitones). The transposition applied remains in memory until changed
again, or until the instrument is turned off. Turning RP60/70 on again restores
the normal pitch (C = C).
1. Hold down the TRANSPOSE function key, (F7), then press either the DATA
m button or the DATA n button.
Pressing either button, the instrument automatically plays a reference
note C in the current pitch (note C).
To raise the pitch of the instrument
2. If you press the DATA m button a second time, the pitch will be raised by
one semitone.
The note played in this case will be C#. The RP60/70 will now be
transposed to the new pitch (C = C#).
Pressing DATA
m
again will raise the pitch by another semitone (C=D)
and so on. Continue in this way until you obtain the required pitch.
To lower the pitch of the instrument
3. Hold down the TRANSPOSE function key (F7) and press the DATA n
button once.
The instrument will play a note in the current pitch set in step 2 (in this
case D) which will correspond to the reference note.
Press the DATA
n
button again and the pitch will be lowered by one
semitone. The note played in this case will be Db (C = Db).
Press DATA
n
once more to lower the pitch by another semitone (C =
C) so on. Continue in this way until you obtain the required pitch.
Repeat the operations, always with F7 pressed, until you obtain the
required transposition either above or below standard pitch.
To escape from the TRANSPOSE menu, simply release the corre-
sponding function key G7.
The instrument will remain set at the new pitch until you change the
setting, or turn the instrument off. When you turn the instrument on
again, the Transpose setting will set automatically to the normal pitch.
To cancel the transposition (without turning off)
4. Hold down the TRANSPOSE function key (F7) and press both the DATA m
and n buttons at the same time.
The normal pitch of the instrument will be restored (C=C), confirmed by
the reference note which will play the note C.
