Changing Octaves And Transposing The Keyboard; Octave Buttons - ICON Inspire 5air Owner's Manual

Changing Octaves and Transposing your Keyboard

Octave Buttons

Pressing either of these buttons will adjust the
octave for your keyboard. Press the left button to
lower the octave of pitches triggered from the
keyboard and the right button to raise the octave.
The LCD panel will show the letters OCT and the
numerals -2 through 5 to indicate how many
octaves lower or higher the keyboard has been
shifted from the default setting. Select 0 if you
want the keyboard to play unshifted.
Transpose
To move the pitches of the notes on the keyboard
by less than an octave, just like using the capo on a
guitar, press transpose buttons (For InSpire 5air,
press "Advanced" button first and then "Octave
buttons). The LCD will show the number 00 as the
default, that is, all the keys play normal pitches.
InSpire-air can be tranposed up or down one
octave, in half-step increments. As you transpose
the keyboard up or down, numbers -12 through +12
will show on the LCD to indicate how many half
steps it has been transposed.

"The transpose function is especially useful for creating
glissando effects. If you are doing music in a key that is
NOT C major, A minor, F#/Gb major or Eb minor, you can
still use the white or black keys to make a cascade of
notes that fits your music. Use the transpose feature to
make the white or black keys equal the key of your piece.
As an example, say your song is in G major. Transpose
InSpire-air down one half-step (-1). Now Gb major equals
G major, and the BLACK keys are ready to use for a
pentatonic glissando. OR, say your song is in F# minor.
Transpose InSpire-air up three half-steps(+3). Now, A
minor equals F# minor, and the white keys are available
for a minor (Aeolian) scale-glissando."
