[4] Key Transpose
■ This lets you shift the whole keyboard pitch up or
down in semitone steps, a valuable feature for play
ing music intended for other instruments or for
avoiding difficult keys* You can transpose upward by
up to 5 semitoines and downward by up to 6 semi
tones.
■ Key transpose is set in the play mode, using the enter
key and keys on the keyboard in relation to C. Press
any key up to F above C or F# below C. (Any C will
do.) You transpose up by pressing any key from C #
to F, giving you a range of +1 to + 5 semitones. You
transpose down by pressing any key from B to F#,
giving you a range of - 1 to - 6 semitones. The C key
itself cancels the transpose effect (since it transposes
by 0).
The current value of the transpose parameter is
shown on the display as a tone name from F# to F.
• Example: Transposing up 2 semitones.
When you play a D chord You hear an
