Transposition - Rodgers PR-300S Owner's Manual

Transposition
In the early part of this manual, you learned how
to transpose a song. This transposition function,
though quick and easy, is only temporary and can only
be done for the entire song.
For this reason, the PR-300S is equipped with
another transposition function which allows you to
transpose a selected portion of a song (rather than the
entire song). Because this transposition actually
changes the note numbers in the selected section, it
will be permanent.
To transpose a portion of a song:
(1) Hold [SHIFT] and press [TRANSPOSE].
These bullons are located underneath the top panel.
(2) A screen much like the Erase or Copy screen
will appear. Use the [<] button, [>] button and
alpha-dial to select the portion of the song you
wish to transpose.
You cannot select Track R in this step (i.e.,
transpose the rhythm track), as transposing the
rhythm track would change the drum sounds which
play. Even when selecting "All", the rhythm track
will be exempted from all transpose functions.
(3) When everything has been set correctly, press
the [>] button until the screen at right appears
in the display.
This is the screen where you select the amount of
transposition which will take place.
(4) Rotate the alpha-dial to select the number of
semitones the music will be transposed. The
range is from "-24" (down two octaves) to "24"
(up two octaves).
Hint! You can undo any Transposition function.
See "Undo" for more details.

For example, if you wanted to transpose the
selected music from the key of B to the key of E,
you would rotate the dial until "5" appears in the
display. If you wanted to transpose the music
down one octave (for a lower sounding bass line),
you would select "-12".
(5) Press [ENTER].
The PR-300S may say "Please Wait" for a few
seconds, after which the Play Screen will return.
