Transposing The Pitch In Semitones; Fine-Tuning The Pitch - Yamaha AvantGrand N1X Owner's Manual

Transposing the Pitch in Semitones

You can shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitones to facilitate playing in difficult key
signatures and match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example,
if "+5" is selected, playing the key C produces a pitch of F, letting you play a song of F major as though it
were in C major.
 To transpose the pitch down:
While holding down [FUNCTION], press a key between F#2 (-6) and B2 (-1).
 To transpose the pitch up:
While holding down [FUNCTION], press a key between C#3 (+1) and F#3 (+6).
 To restore the original pitch:
While holding down [FUNCTION], press the C3 key.
The specified value is shown on the display.

Fine-tuning the Pitch

current pitch setting (Hz).
 To tune down (in roughly 0.2Hz steps):
While holding down [FUNCTION], press [-]. Holding down both buttons shows the
current pitch setting (Hz).
 To restore standard pitch:
While holding down [FUNCTION], press [+] and [-] simultaneously. Holding down
all three buttons shows the current pitch setting (Hz).
