Transpose and Tuning

You can also adjust the tuning and change the transposition (key) of the entire
PSR-GX76 sound with the Transpose and Tuning functions.

Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompa-
niment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs. This allows
you to easily match the pitch of the PSR-GX76 to other instruments or singers, or
play in a different key without changing your fingering. The Transpose settings
can be adjusted over a range of ± 12 semitones (± 1 octave).
1
Select the Transpose function.
Press the right Overall button, repeatedly if necessary, until "TRANSPOS"
appears in the display.
2
Change the value.
Use the numeric keypad to set the desired Transpose value (-12 - +12). To
transpose the pitch down, simultaneously press and hold the [-] button, and
use the numeric keypad to type in the (negative) value. You can also use the
[+]/[-] buttons to increase or decrease the value. Holding down either button
continuously increases or decreases the value.

This allows you to accurately match the tuning with that of other instruments.
The Tuning settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 100 (approx. ± 1 semitone).
