Transposition, Tuning, And Octave Change; Transpose/Tune - Yamaha PORTATONE PSR-5700 Authorized Product Manual

Transposition, Tuning, and Octave Change

The most important and fundamental adjustment for any musical instrument is tuning.
The TRANSPOSITION, TUNING, and OCTAVE CHANGE functions described below let
you control the pitch of the PSR-5700 in a number of ways.
This function allows the overall pitch of the PSR-5700 to be transposed up or down in
semitone increments, and fine-tuned in 0.5 Hertz increments.
Press the [TRANSPOSE/
TUNE] Button
Set the Transposition and/or
Tuning As Required
Press [EXIT] When Done

TRANSPOSE/TUNE

Select the TRANSPOSE/TUNE function from the normal play mode by
pressing the [TRANSPOSE/TUNE] button (this is the same as the [ ] dis-
play scroll button to the right of the LCD panel).
Use the left [-] and [+] buttons to set the desired degree of transposition,
and the right [-] and [+] buttons to set the desired degree of tuning.
The transpose range is from -6 to +6, allowing a maximum upward or
downward transposition of l/2-octave. A setting of 0 produces the normal
pitch. The "0" setting can be instantly recalled by pressing both the left [-]
and [+] buttons simultaneously.
The tuning range is from 427.5 Hertz to 452.5 Hertz, adjustable in 0.5-
Hertz increments. 440.0 Hertz is "normal" pitch, and this setting can be
directly recalled by pressing both the right [-] and [+] buttons simultane-
ously.
Press the [EXIT] button to exit from the TRANSPOSE/TUNE function.
The TRANSPOSE/TUNE mode is automatically exited if neither of the [-] or [+]
buttons are pressed for approximate/y 10 seconds.
