selected.

Upper section will be automatically selected and the corre-
sponding Split Tone will be played.
Key Transpose Function —
Using the Transpose function, you can transpose the
entire keyboard. This means that the RD-100 will sound
in another key than the one you are playing in (see the
example on pagel2). Transpose can be used for two
purposes: (a) to play a song in an “easy” key while
sounding in a “difficult” one; (b) to accommodate the
voice of a singer.

1. While holding the [TRANSPOSE] button down, press the
key that corresponds to the main note (“root”) of the pitch
you wish to transpose to.
The indicator of the [TRANSPOSE] button lights, and
you can play in the transposed key.
* When the indicator lights, the Key Transposition is on. When
it is dark, it is in the normal condition without Key Transpo-
sition. You can thus alternate between “no transposition” and
“transposition” simply by pressing the [TRANSPOSE] button
(the interval you set will be remembered until you switch off
your RD-100).
* When the display shows “O’, the indicator of the [TRANS-
POSE] button does uot light because activating it would
result in “no transposition” anyway.
