Transpose; Fine Tuning - Korg SP-200 User Manual

Transpose

You can transpose the pitch of the instrument by one or more semitones higher or
lower. This transposing allows you to easily tune the SP-200 to another instrument
played together, or to simplify a music with too many sharps or flats.
Note: When the instrument is turned on, the transposing is reset.
Hold the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button, and press the key on keyboard that
1
corresponds to the transpose you wish to carry out (see table). The TRANSPOSE/
FUNTION LED will remain lit up, to indicate that the transpose function is active.

Fine tuning

In order to adapt the SP-200 pitch to that of another instrument, you can adjust the
pitch in steps of 0.5 Hz over a range of A4 = 427.5 ~ 452.5 Hz. The standard tuning
is A4 = 440 Hz.
Note: The pitch will go back to standard level (A4 = 440 Hz) when the instrument is
turned off, then on again.
Hold the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button, and press the corresponding key to
1
change the pitch. Each time the B5 or C6 key is pressed, the pitch will be raised or
lowered by 0.5 Hz.
