Using the key control function

The key control function can be used to change the key (pitch in
semitones) during playback.
Turning the key control function on/off
1.
When the Home Screen is open, press the KEY [EDIT] but-
ton to open the key setting pop-up window, and press the
MULTI JOG dial to turn key control on/off.
2.
Press the MENU [JOG] or KEY [EDIT] button to close the
key setting window, and complete the setting.
CAUTION
i The key control function setting is shown at the top right of
the Home Screen.
i When using the control function, the playback sound might
seem to fluctuate. This is the result of special processing of
the playback sound and is not a malfunction.
Setting the key
1.
Press the KEY [EDIT] button to open the key setting pop-up
window.
2.
Turn the MULTI JOG dial to change the key.
Setting range: b6 – b1, 0 (default, no key change), #1 – #6
3.
Press the MENU [JOG] or KEY [EDIT] button to close the
key setting window, and complete the setting.
TIP
When both the key control and pitch control functions are on,
the key control function sets the key (pitch in semitones) and
the pitch control function sets the speed (but not the pitch).
Therefore, you can use pitch control to change only the play-
back speed without changing the pitch when the KEY is set
to 0 and the key control function is on.
