Convenient Functions

Disabling Buttons—Panel
Lock
By using the Panel Lock function, you can disable the buttons
with the exception of certain operations. This is a convenient
way to prevent buttons from being pressed inadvertently,
changing the settings.
When the panel is locked, the following operations can be
performed.
- Play using the piano sound
- Key Transpose
- Master Tuning (p. 23)
1. Before switching the power on, turn the

Transposing without
Changing Your Fingering
—Key Transpose
You can play in a different key—without changing the keys
you are playing.
When playing in a difficult key with many
(flats), you can transpose the keyboard to play in an easier
key.
Key transpositions remain in effect until the keyboard's
power is turned off.
