TRANSPOSE Buttons
e TRANSPOSE buttons can be used to change the tuning of notes played on the K2700
keyboard in semitones (also known as half steps). is is a convenient way to change the key
of a song without learning to play it in a dierent key.

TRANSPOSE buttons simultaneously to reset the transposition to 0.
e TRANSPOSE buttons also transpose MIDI notes sent to the USB and MIDI Out ports.

can be adjusted for each Program in Program Edit Mode.
MODULATION WHEEL
In Factory Programs, the MODULATION WHEEL button will typically control a vibrato
or an eect amount. e name and value of the current assignment is shown in the Display
when the wheel is moved. e assignment can be adjusted in Program Edit Mode.
VARIATION Button
In Factory Programs, the VARIATION button will typically modify the sound by adding an
orchestral string section or synth pad layer, or enabling an eect. e name of the current
assignment is shown in the Display when the button is pressed. e assignment can be
adjusted in Program Edit Mode.
Pads
In Factory Programs, the 16 Pads are typically assigned to play notes or chords. e Pads

in Arpeggiator or CC Sequencer patterns. Pad assignments can be adjusted in Program Edit
Mode.
