Transpose

The PSR-410 [TRANSPOSE] button makes it possible to shift the pitch of the PSR-410 up or down in semi-
tone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (one octave). Transposing the pitch of the PSR-410 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

button itself to set the desired degree of transposition.
The transposition range is from -12 to +12, with -12 corresponding to
downward transposition by 12 semitones (one octave), and +12 corresponding
to upward transposition by 12 semitones. 00 is the "normal" keyboard pitch
value. The normal transpose value (00) can be recalled instantly by pressing
both the [+] and [-] buttons at the same time.

have touch response: e.g. organ and harpsichord.
