Transposing the Keyboard
Transpose lets you raise and lower the overall key of the
keyboard in semitone units. If you want to play an
accompaniment for a vocalist who sings in a key that’s
different from the keyboard, for example, simply use
transpose to change the key of the keyboard.
To transpose the keyboard
1 Press the TRANSPOSE/TUNE/MIDI button until the
transpose screen appears on the display.
2 Use [+] and [–] to change the transpose setting of
the keyboard.
Example: To transpose the keyboard five semitones
upwards.
NOTE
• The keyboard can be transposed within a range of –6 to
+5.
• The default transpose setting is “0” when keyboard
power is turned on.
• If you leave the transpose screen on the display for about
five seconds without doing anything, the screen is
automatically cleared.
• The transpose setting also affects Auto Accompaniment.
• Playing back a tune automatically returns the transpose
setting to its standard default of “0”.
