5.2 Transposition
The sounds produced by the CDP2400USB can be transposed up
or down by half-tones (key by key). This is useful, for example if you
want to play a piece in a key that is easier to play because it has few
or no accidentals at all (e.g. C major), but intend the piece to sound
in a difficult key with lots of accidentals (e.g. D flat major).
Example: D flat major has five flats (accidentals). In this key you
would have to play a lot of black keys. However, if you transpose
the sounds up by one half-tone, you can easily play the piece on
the white keys (C major). It can be helpful to transpose the
keyboard by an octave (12 halftones), for example to play low notes
in the middle register where they can be played more comfortably.
1) Press and hold the TRANSPOSE button and use the -/NO and
+/YES buttons in the VALUE/SONG section to adjust the
transposition value of your choice in half-tone steps.
