The scene or tone is selected.
If you decide to cancel, press the [EXIT] button.
Raising/lowering the keyboard pitch in 
semitones (TRANSPOSE)
You can transpose the keyboard in semitone steps.
For instance, if you wanted to play a song in the key of C that was 
written in the key of E, set the keyboard transpose value to “+4”.
1.  Hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and press the 
[DOWN] button or [UP] button.
When this is set to a key other than “0”, the [TRANSPOSE] button 
lights up.
To return to the key of “0”, hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button 
and press the [DOWN] and [UP] buttons simultaneously.
Value
-5 (G)–0 (C)–+6 (F´)
MEMO
You can recall the transpose setting you made by toggling the 
[TRANSPOSE] button on/o.
