Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompa-
niment. It also determines the pitch of the songs. This allows you to easily match
the pitch of the PSR-290 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 can be set in the Function mode (page 75).

Tuning determines the fine pitch setting of both the main voice and the bass/chord
accompaniment. It also determines the pitch of the songs. This allows you to
accurately match the tuning with that of other instruments. The Tuning settings
can be adjusted over a range of ± 100 (approx. ± 1 semitone).
Tuning can be set in the Function mode (page 75).
