Changing the Pitch of the Keyboard
Sound (Transpose)
By using the "Transpose function," you can transpose your performance
without changing the notes you play.
For example, even if the song is in a difficult key with numerous sharps ( )
or flats ( ), you can transpose it to a key that is easier for you to play.
When accompanying a vocalist, you can easily transpose the pitch to a range
that is comfortable for the singer, while still playing the notes as written (i.e.,
with the same fingering positions).
