Special Performance Features
TRANSPOSE (Key Select)
This feature allows you to shift the musical key of the entire instrument. This is useful if you have a piece
of music written in one key but which needs to sound in another key; for example, a song written and
played in C Major, could sound in G Major. TRANSPOSE will step either up or down six (6) semitones or
half-steps from the center position.
The TRANSPOSE feature consists the TRANSPOSE button, plus the DOWN and UP buttons to the right of
the TRANSPOSE button. The DOWN button allows you to transpose lower and the UP button allows you
to transpose higher.
TRY THIS:
1.
Make sure the instrument is un-transposed or playing in "concert" pitch (TRANSPOSE button
LED not lit).
2.
Press and Hold the TRANSPOSE button and look at the Information Center Display. The
upper right portion of the screen should be blank.
3.
While continuing to hold the TRANSPOSE button, Press the UP button once. The
Information Center Display should show the following:
Notice the message at the upper right of the display ("+1"). You have now transposed the
entire instrument up one half-step - when you Press a "C" note you will hear the note "C#"
above it.
4.
Now Press and Hold the TRANSPOSE button and Press the DOWN button until the message at
the upper right of the display disappears. The instrument is now back to concert pitch.
