Changing Your Keyboard
Fingering (Key Transpose)
You can transpose the key of a performance without having
to shift the position of your fingers on the keyboard.
This feature is called "Key Transpose."
In situations such as when providing accompaniment to a
song, using the Key Transpose function to match the singer's
vocal register lets you easily transpose the sounds without
changing the score.
These settings remains in effect until you turn off the power.

Adjusting the Pitch of the
Sound (Master Tuning)
In situations such as when playing ensemble with other
instruments, you can tune the F-100's reference pitch to the
pitch of another instrument. The reference pitch generally
refers to the pitch of the note that's played when you finger
the middle A key.
For a cleaner ensemble sound while performing with one or
more other instruments, ensure that each instrument's
reference pitch is in tune with that of the other instruments.
This tuning of all the instruments to a reference pitch is
called "master tuning." You can set the reference pitch
anywhere in a range of 415.3 Hz to 466.2 Hz.
When the instrument is turned on, the reference pitch is set
to "440.0 Hz."
