Transposing Performances

The RS-5/9 has two functions, "Transpose" and "Key
Shift," that you can use to move the key range of what is
being played in half-step units. The Transpose function
transposes all Parts, whereas Key Shift transposes only
specified Parts.

(TRANSPOSE ON/OFF)
For instructions on setting Transpose, refer to Quick Start (p. 48).
Transposing a Specified Part
(Key Shift)
This is convenient in situations such as the following.
Layering Tones an octave apart
When the Keyboard Mode is Dual, you can create a richer
sound by setting the two Tones to different octaves.
Having only the Tone of a selected Part be
played at a lower pitch
If the Keyboard Mode is set to Split and you are playing a
bass Tone in the lower Part, you can use the Key Shift
function to play the bass at a lower pitch.
You can make separate Key Shift settings for each individual
Part in a Performance.

Adding Breadth to the Sound
by Layering Tones with
Different Pitches (Fine Tune)
When Tones with slightly different pitches are played

assigned to both Parts (p. 37), make the Fine Tune setting for
only one of the Parts.
