Transpose And Tuning - Yamaha Portatone PSR-262 Owner's Manual

Transpose and Tuning

You can also adjust the tuning and change the transposition (key) of the PSR-262
with the Transpose and Tuning functions.

Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompa-
niment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs and the
Multi Pads. This allows you to easily match the pitch of the PSR-262 to other
instruments or singers, or play in a different key without changing your fingering.
The Transpose settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 12 semitones (± 1
octave).

transpose the pitch down, simultaneously press the [-] button and use the
numeric keypad to type in the (negative) value. You can also use the [+]/[-]
buttons to increase or decrease the value. Holding down either button con-
tinuously increases or decreases the value.

accompaniment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs and
the Multi Pads. This allows you to accurately match the tuning with that of other

0.5 semitones).
