Limitless modulation of the key became available only after the invention of Equal temperament.
When we use a temperament other than Equal temperament, we must carefully choose the key
signature to play in. For example, if the song you are going to play is written in D major, choose
"D" as the temperament key by pressing any "D" key on the keyboard. The LED display shows the
currently selected key signature. Press either Touch or Transpose button to exit the Function Mode
before you start playing.
NOTE:
Changing the key of the temperament will only change the "balance" of the tuning, the pitch of the
keyboard remains unchanged.
Use the Tuning or Transpose functions to change the pitch of the
whole keyboard.
7. LOWER OCTAVE SHIFT
This allows the octave of the lower part to be shifted up one, two, or three octaves higher when you
use the split function.
After selecting the "Lower Octave Shift" function by pressing the
Bass button, use the Value buttons to select your desired shift range.
The LED display shows how many octaves the lower part is shifted
up. Lower Octave Shift can be set between the values of 0 to 3.

8. MIDI] CHANNEL
This determines on which MIDI channel the ES4 will exchange MIDI information with an external
MIDI instrument or a personal computer.
-
After selecting the "MIDI Channel" function by pressing the Piano
Linn
button, use the Value buttons to select your MIDI channel. The LED
-
display shows the currently selected channel number.
In order to exchange MIDI information with another MIDI instrument, you must first set the two
connected instruments to the same channel.
When the power is first turned on, the ES4 always selects "on1" which means omni on, channel 1.
If you change it to 1 through 16, omni automatically turns off.
