Transpose; Tuning; Touch Response - Yamaha Portatone PSR-410 Owner's Manual

The PSR-410 [TRANSPOSE] button makes it possible to shift the pitch of the PSR-410 up or down in semi-
tone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (one octave). Transposing the pitch of the PSR-410 keyboard
makes it easier to play in difficult key signatures, and you can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the
range of a singer or other instrumentalist.

ments. Tuning can be accomplished over a 50-cent range (that's 100 cents total, or one semitone) in 33 steps.

Press the OVERALL CONTROL section [TRANSPOSE] button. The cur-
rent transpose value will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY.
Use the [ ] and [ ] buttons, the number buttons, or the [TRANSPOSE]
button itself to set the desired degree of transposition.
The transposition range is from 12 to 12, with 12 corresponding to
downward transposition by 12 semitones (one octave), and 12 corresponding
to upward transposition by 12 semitones. 00 is the "normal" keyboard pitch
value. The normal transpose value (00) can be recalled instantly by pressing
both the [ ] and [ ] buttons at the same time.
Press the OVERALL CONTROL section [TUNING] button. The current
tuning value will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY.
Use the [ ] and [ ] buttons, the number buttons, or the [TUNING] button
itself to set the desired tuning value.
The tuning range is from 16 ( 50 cents) to 16 ( 50 cents). "00" ( 0
cents) is the "normal" tuning value. The normal tuning value (00) can be re-
called instantly by pressing both the [ ] and [ ] buttons at the same time.
Use the [TOUCH RESPONSE] button to turn touch response ON or OFF
as required. When OFF (i.e. when the indicator is off) the same volume is pro-
duced no matter how hard you play on the keyboard. Touch response can be
turned OFF to produce a more realistic effect with voices that normally do not
have touch response: e.g. organ and harpsichord.
