Transpose and Pitch Controls

There are two pitch-related controls on the Electone: Transpose and Pitch. Transpose allows you to change
the key of the instrument and Pitch lets you finely adjust the tuning. These features make it easy to change the
key of a song to accommodate a vocalistﾕs range or to precisely match the tuning of another instrument.
To select the Pitch page:
Press the EXP. PITCH/MIDI button in the DISPLAY SELECT section, and
select the Pitch page with the Page buttons.
