It Even Does This! — Convenient Functions
Changing to Easy Key
Adjusting the Standard
Signatures — The "Key
Transpose" Function
You can play in a different key—without changing the
keys you are playing. For example, to play a song in C
major even though it was actually written in E major,
or to play songs with difficult key signatures full of
sharps or flats, you can simply change to a key that is
easier for you to play.
Key transpositions remain in effect until the key-
board's power is turned off.

Pitch — Master Tuning
In situations such as when playing in ensemble with
other instruments, you can adjust the HP 145's refer-
ence pitch to that of another instrument.
Middle A is generally used as the standard reference
pitch for tuning instruments. When performing in
ensemble with other instruments, the ensemble will
not sound good if the instruments are not in tune with
each other. This tuning of all the instruments to a stan-
dard pitch is called "master tuning."
To make the setting, while holding down the [Key
Touch/Demo Song] button, press any key from C4 to
Dit4.
