Fine adjustments to the pitch

Here's how you can make fine adjustments to the
pitch.
When you are playing together with other instru-
ments, you can use this function to tune the Ci-
9600/Ci-8600 to the other instruments.
The pitch can be adjusted in half-step (0.5) Hz
intervals over a range of 427.5 – 453.0 Hz (Hertz).
A4=440 Hz.
1. Press the [FUNCTION] switch
The [FUNCTION] switch indicator will light,
and the "Func 1/13" page will appear.
2. Adjust the "Tune" cell
Use the dial or the [VALUE] switches to adjust
the value of the "Tune" cell.
To write settings into internal memory
In the "Func 10/13" page, execute "Write."
If you turn off the power without writing, the
previous settings will reappear.

tor will go dark, and you will return to the

Changing the key (Transposing)

When you wish to play a song that is written in a
difficult key (e.g., f#, c# etc.), or when you need to
tune to another instrument or acompany a vocalist
it is convenient to use this function. This function
also allows you to use familiar fingerings to play
songs.
1. Press the [FUNCTION] switch
2. Change the "Transpose" setting
Press the "Transpose" cell "▲" or "▼" to
change the setting.
The available range is –11 – +11.
When the power is turned off, this will be set to "0."

TION] switch, the [FUNCTION] switch indica-
tor will go dark, and you will return to the
previous LCD screen.
Example 1: To play a song a semitone higher
Set the "Transpose" setting to "+1."
With this setting, pressing the C key will sound
like a C#. If the pitch has been raised a semitone
as in this example, playing the notes shown at
the lower left will produce the pitches shown at
the lower right.
Example 2: Using G fingering to play a song in B
Set the "Transpose" setting to "+3."
Bb is a minor third above G (three semitones
higher). Thus, we will make settings so that
when the C key is pressed, the D# note (three
semitones above C) is played.

Changing the octave

1. Press the [FUNCTION] switch
2. Change the desired "Octave" setting
Press the "▲" or "▼" of the "Octave" cell to
change the setting.
The range is –2, –1, 0, +1, +2 octaves.
Upp1: The first sound when [LAYER] or
[SPLIT] are on, or the keyboard when
[LAYER] or [SPLIT] are off
Upp2: The sound layered on Upp1 when
[LAYER] is on
Low: The sound to the left of the split point
when [SPLIT] is on
When the power is turned off, Upp1 will be set to "0,"
MeMO
Upp2 to "–1," and Low to "+1." If you wish to store the
settings, you can store them in a registration. (☞p.83)
