Transpose - Hammond XK-5 Owner's Manual

Th e transpose function allows you to match the same key of other instruments or
vocalists without changing the key that you are playing in.
For example, if you set Transpose at [+5], the note "F" sounds when you play the "C"
key. (By playing in the key of C the XK-5 sounds in the key of F.)
