Using the Convenient Functions in Performances
Transposing All the Parts (TRANSPOSE ON/OFF)
This function moves the key range in half-step units. This is convenient in
situations like the ones below.
When matching the vocalist’s register
Sometimes melodies may extend outside a vocalist’s register. Therefore, if
you want to perform with the song changed to a different key, you can play
the song in a new key while still using the same fingering as before.
When changing from a difficult key to one that is easy to play
You can use simple fingerings to play difficult songs that include numerous
sharps or flats.
When playing with the tone of a transposed instrument
You can play the tones of a transposed instrument just as it is written in the score.
When Playing sounds outside the keyboard’s range
While the RS-5 features a 61-key keyboard, with some songs you may want
to play notes even higher or lower. Also, when playing a Drum Set etc., there
may be percussion instruments that the RS-5/9’s keyboard is not able to
access. In such cases, you can use the Transpose function to play these notes.
