instrument. This can be extremely useful when playing your dig-
ital piano along with other instruments or recorded music.
Fine-tuning the
While holding down [METRONOME] and [RHYTHM] simul-
Pitch
taneously, press [+] or [-] to tune up or down in about 0.2 Hz
steps, or press [+] and [-] simultaneously to reset to the
default setting (440.0 Hz).
Setting range: 414.8 – 440.0 – 466.8 Hz
You can shift or transpose the pitch of the entire keyboard
up or down in semitones.
For example, if you set the transpose to "+5," playing a C
Key Transposition key will produce an F pitch. You could, therefore, play a
song as if it was in C major and the digital piano would
transpose it to the key of F major.
Setting range: -6 (F#2) – 0 (C3) – +6 (F#3)
