Transposition
The Transpose buttons can be used to change the tuning of notes played on the Artis
keyboard in semitones (ST), also known as half steps. This is a convenient way to change
the key of a song without learning to play it in a different key. The Transpose buttons are
located to the left of the keyboard, above the Pitch and Mod Wheels. The Transpose buttons
also transpose MIDI notes sent to the USB and MIDI out ports.
Press the Transpose - or + buttons to transpose the Artis keyboard down or up by one
semitone. The top line of the display shows the current transposition value. Pressing both
Transpose - and + simultaneously will reset the transposition to 0. To transpose up and
down by octave intervals (12 ST), press the Octav- and Octav+ soft buttons underneath the
display.
The maximum transposition value possible is +/–36 semitones.
The LEDs of the Transpose buttons indicate whether the current Multi is transposed up
(Transpose + LED is lit) or transposed down (Transpose – LED is lit). When there is no
transposition, neither Transpose button is lit.
NOTE : That the transposition is applied to all Programs in the
Zones within the Multi. The Zone layout on the keyboard however
still remains xed.
