more convenient way. This is especially useful when
you are used to playing a given song in one key, while
someone else wants you to play it in another key: just
change the Transpose setting and you're there.

The transposition remains in effect until you change it
or until you switch off the HP-237e.
1. While holding down the [Demo] button, press the
tonic (root) of the key to which you want to trans-
pose.
Use the C2~B2 notes to select the key.
[C1] light —With this setting, fortissimo can be pro-
duced using much less force than normal, thus mak-
ing the keys seem lighter. This setting makes it easy to
play, even for children.
[C#1] medium—Normal setting, providing the most
natural touch, closest to that of an acoustic piano.
[D1] heavy—With this setting, to play fortissimo the
keys must be pressed much more strongly than nor-
mally, as if the keys had become heavier. Adds even
more emotion when you play with lots of dynamics.
Note: See also "Functions assigned to the keyboard" on
page 26 for the exact keys to press.
2. To return to normal pitch, hold down the [Demo]
button while pressing the C2 key.
Example: playing in C but sounding in E
For example if you want the E pitch to sound when
you play the C key, you would hold down the [Demo]
button and press the E2 key.

sages received via the MIDI IN connector.
