• Selectively Transposing Keyboard/Song
These settings can be used to match both the song and your
keyboard performance to a certain key. For example, let's
say you wish to play and sing along with a certain recorded
song. The song data is in F, but you feel most comfortable
singing in D, and you are accustomed to playing the
keyboard part in C. To match up the keys, keep the Master
Transpose setting at "0," set the Keyboard Transpose to "2,"
and set Song Transpose to "-3." This brings the keyboard part
up in pitch and the song data down to your comfortable
singing key.
Requires strong playing to produce
high volume. Best for players with a
heavy touch.
Requires moderately strong playing for
higher volume.
Produces high volume with moderate
playing strength.
Produces relatively high volume even
with light playing strength. Best for
players with a light touch.
