Transposition
e Transpose buttons can be used to change the tuning of notes played on the Forte 
keyboard in semitones (ST), also known as half-steps. is is a convenient way to change the 
key of a song without learning to play it in a dierent key. e Transpose buttons are located 
to the left of the keyboard, above the Pitch and Mod Wheels. e Transpose buttons also 
transpose MIDI notes sent to the USB and MIDI out ports.
Press the Transpose - or + buttons to transpose the Forte keyboard down or up by one 
semitone. e top line of the display shows the current transposition value. 
To transpose up and down by octave intervals (12 ST), press the OCTAVE- and OCTAVE+ 
soft buttons underneath the display.
Pressing both Transpose - and +, or Octave - and + simultaneously will reset the transposition 
to 0. 
e maximum transposition value possible is +/–36 semitones. 
e LEDs of the Transpose buttons indicate whether the current Program (or 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.
