octave in semitone increments.

Set the Transposition As Required
Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons, the number buttons or the data dial
to set the desired degree of transposition. The transpose range is from –12 to
+12, allowing a maximum upward or downward transposition of 1-octave.
A setting of "0" produces the normal pitch.
The PITCH BEND wheel to the left of the keyboard allows the pitch of
notes played on the keyboard to be bend up or down - roll the wheel away from
you to bend up, and toward you to bend down.
The actual pitch bend range can be adjusted via the "PBRange" function in
the OVERALL function group (page 80).
