Octave Buttons
Pressing the Octave buttons increments and decrements the keyboard octave by ±1. The available
octaves range from C0 to G10 in FL Studio (C-2 – G8 with other software). Shift-pressing the Octave
buttons transposes the keyboard up or down by one semitone.
After you change the octave, the screen displays the current Octave range for five seconds. You can
tell if your keyboard is in a different Octave as the Octave +/- button lights. The brighter the button, the
more octaves you have moved.
To reset the keyboard octave to 0, press the Octave +/- buttons simultaneously. To reset the keyboard
transposition to 0, hold shift and press the Octave +/- buttons simultaneously.
Hold Shift and press Octave +/- to transpose the keyboard up or down in semitones. The screen shows
the transposition amount.
Fixed Chord
Fixed Chord lets you play a chord shape and transpose it by pressing other keys. To set a chord, press
and hold the Fixed Chord button. While still holding the button, press and release the keys you wish to
be in your chord. The chord is now stored.
The FLkey sets the first note you input into the chord as the chord’s ‘root note’, even if you add notes
lower than the first note.
Press and hold the Fixed Chord button press and release C, E, and finally G (a C Major chord). The
FLkey stores this as the ‘Fixed Chord’. Release the Fixed Chord button.
