Transposition, Tuning,
Octave Change, & Key Velocity
The most important and fundamental adjustment for any musical
instrument is tuning. The TRANSPOSE, TUNING, and OCTAVE
CHANGE functions described below let you control the pitch of the
PSR-6000 in a number of ways.
The Key Velocity function has also been included in this section
because it affects the way the PSR-6000 responds to notes played on
the keyboard.
These functions allow the overall pitch of the PSR-6000 to be transposed up or down in semitone increments,
and fine-tuned in 0.5 Hertz increments.
Z
Press the TRANSPOSE/TUNE LCD Button
Select the transpose and tune functions from the
normal play mode display by pressing the TRANS-
POSE/TUNE LCD button.
X
Set the Transposition and/or Tuning As Required
Use the TRANSPOSE LCD dials to set the
desired degree of transposition, and the TUNE LCD
dials to set the desired degree of tuning.
The transpose range is from -6 to +6, allowing
a maximum upward or downward transposition of
1/2-octave. A setting of "0" produces the normal
pitch.
The tuning range is from 427.5 Hertz to
452.5 Hertz, adjustable in 0.5-Hertz increments.
A3 = 440.0 Hertz is "normal" pitch.
C
Return to the Main Display When Done
Press the VOLUME LCD button to exit from the
transpose and tune functions and return to the main
display.
