Transpose; Tuning - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-1700 Owner's Manual

Transpose

The [TRANSPOSE] button makes it possible to shift the pitch of the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 up or down in
semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (one octave). Transposing the pitch of the 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.

Tuning

The [TUNING] button makes it possible to tune the pitch of the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 to match other instru-
ments. Tuning can be accomplished over a ±50-cent range (that's 100 cents total, or one semitone) in 33 steps.
