Roland HP 1300e - Roland Piano Performance Enhancements; Using the Key Transpose Feature; Understanding Pedal Functions

Playing with the Key Transposed
if you wish, you can piav the instrument with the key
‘transposed.’ This convenientiy allows you to play in a key
that matches a vocal accompaniment, without changing
your fingering on the keyboard. Transposition is also
useful when you are going to play a piece in a key other
than C, and wish to play it as if it were in the key of C.
This makes it is easier to play.
White holding down the FUNCTION button, press either
PIANO (b) or HARPSICHORD (#) enough times to obtain
the amount of transposition you wish.

While holding
# With each press, the sound is raised by 1 semi-
tone. (Max. of 5 semitones.)
b With each press, the sound is lowered by 1
semitone. (Max. of 6 semitones.)
Playing a piece in some other key with the
fingering of C
You need to specify which note you wish to sound when
the C key (do in the key of C} is pressed. Hold down the
FUNCTION button while you press the keynote for the
key you wish to transpose to (using the C-B keys in the
upper-most of the keyboard). For example, to play an E
major piece in the key of C major, you would hold down
the FUNCTION button while you press E (mi).

To return to the key of C, press PIANO (b) and
HARPSICHORD (#) simultaneously while holding

while transposition is in effect.

To cancel transposition, press the FUNCTION button
again, and confirm that its indicator has gone out.
* Once you have set the transposition, all you need to do
to obtain the same transposition the next time is to
press the FUNCTION button.
* if you have used *he Key Transpose feature to raise the
pitch (by 1 to 5 semitones), the keyboard's 5 highest
keys (at the far right) will sound one octave lower than
normal when playing organ or string sounds.
Pedal Functions
The specialized stand comes equipped with 2 pedals. The
right one is the Damper pedal, and the left one acts as the
Soft pedal. (The left pedal can also be switched to become
a Sostenuto pedai.)
Right (Damper Pedal)
While the Damper Pedal is depressed, notes that
have been played will continue to sound even
after your fingers have been removed from those
keys.
Left (Soft Pedal)
When depressed, you obtain a softer sound.
(Sostenuto Pedal)
This pedal is used to sustain only the sound of
those keys that are pressed at the very moment the
pedal is depressed. Notes played afterwards are
not effected.
Using the Left Pedai as a Sostenuto Pedal
{only for HP-1300e)
If you wish to use the left pedal as a Sostenuto pedal, hold
down the FUNCTION button while you depress the right
pedal.
