Transpose And Tuning; Transpose - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-225GM Owner's Manual

PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE

TRANSPOSE AND TUNING

You can also adjust the tuning and change the transposition (key) of the
entire PortaTone sound with the Transpose and Tuning functions.

Transpose

Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord
accompaniment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the
songs. This allows you to easily match the pitch of the PortaTone 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).
