Transposing the key of the keyboard
(TRANSPOSE)
You can transpose performances without changing the keys you are
playing. This feature is called Transpose”.
This is a convenient feature to use when you want to match the pitch
of the keyboard performance to a vocalist’s pitch, or perform using the
printed music for trumpets or other transposed instruments.
You can adjust the transpose setting in semitone steps over a range of
-5–0–+6 relative to C4. The Transpose has been set at the factory to “0”.

seconds.

is displayed.
2. Hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and press a
key.
If you press the C4 (middle C) key, the transpose amount will be
set to “0”.
For example, to have “E” sound when you play “C” on the
keyboard, hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and press the E4
key. The degree of transposition then becomes “+4”.
When you release the [TRANSPOSE] button, the previous display
will reappear.
When the amount of transposition is set, the Transpose function
switches on, and the [TRANSPOSE] button lights up.

and using the [DEC] [INC] buttons.

higher key, the transpose amount is set to [+6].

key, the transpose amount is set to [-5].
3. To turn o Transpose, press the [TRANSPOSE]
button so that its indicator goes o.
The next time [TRANSPOSE] button is pressed, the sound is
transposed by an amount corresponding to the value set here.
NOTE
¹ If the transpose amount is 0, the [TRANSPOSE] button will not
turn on even if you press it.
¹ When you turn the power o, the transpose amount returns to 0.
Adding reverberation to the sound
(REVERB)

keyboard.
Applying reverb adds pleasing reverberation to what you play, so it
sounds almost as if you were playing in a concert hall.

LINE IN] (REVERB) knob.
The depth of the reverb eect changes.
You can adjust the reverb depth in a range of 0–127.
MEMO
You can select the type of reverb in the MENU screen Ó “SYSTEM
EFFECTS” Ó “Sys Reverb” page.
NOTE
In the [MENU] Ó [SCENE EDIT] Ó [ZONE EDIT] Ó “INTERNAL page, if the
“Rev Send (reverb send)” value is set to “0”, no reverb eect is applied.
Also, depending on the settings of the Scene, there might be cases in
which turning the knob does not apply an eect. For details, refer to
“Making detailed settings for tones” (p. 20).
