1. Press the Record button.
2. Press the | button to store the desired voices.
3. Select your favorite voice from the keys marked from 1 to
20 on the lower keyboard. (Playing the upper and pedal
keyboards lets you check the voices and effects.)
. Pressing the | button again turns the record button off, and
the selected voice is stored in the | button.
ein step 4, when the II button is pressed instead of the |
button, the selected voice is stored in the | button and the
storage operation can be immediately continued for the Hl
button.

again completes storage and turns the record button off. If
further storage is desired, however, press the III button
instead of the II button and continue as with the I and Il
buttons.

@) Transpose
Suppose you learn to play a song — in the key of C, for
example — and decide you want to sing it, only to find it’s
either too high or too low for your voice. Your choice is to
either learn the song all over again, ina different key, orto use
the Transpose feature. Here’s how you can quickly and easily
put the song in a comfortable vocal range:
« Press Record.
2. Press Transpose.
3. Press one of the keys in the section of the lower keyboard
marked: [&) ~¢) ~ #6]; this automatically puts the song
in adifferent key. You might have to try several keys before
you find one that’s comfortable. Do this by playing in the
upper keyboard. Note that the display will indicate correct
key signature only if the initial key signature is “C”.

The light on the transpose button stays on continuously,
telling you a transposition is in effect.
To change back to the original key, just press transpose
again (and the light goes out). You can recall the
transposition by just pressing transpose again.
Another good use for the Transpose feature is to allow you to
play with certain other instruments — trumpet, saxophones,
etc. — that are “built in different keys”. The Transpose
feature can allow you both to read the same music and what
you play will sound good together.
The pedal keyboard notes are lowered one octave when 8’
notes are transposed higher than a major 3rd, and become
one octave higher when 16’ notes are transposed to lower
than C.
When the following voices are transposed to a lower key,
the lowest keys equal to the number of keys transposed do
not emit any sound.
G5 (Upper, Lower): solo synthesizer presets
G7, F3 (Lower): percussive presets (acoustic piano, electric
piano, harpsichord, vibraphone, glocken, steel drum), solo
synthesizer presets (whistle)
F3 (Upper): all voices
G5, G7, F3 (Lower): bass (full bass pedal)
