Playing with the Key Transposed
If you wish, you can play the instrument with the key
'transposed.' This conveniently allows you to play in a key
that matches a vocal accompaniment, without changing
your fingering on the keyboard. Transposition is also useful
when you are going to play a piece in a key other than C, and
wish to play it as if it were in the key of C. This makes it is
easier to play.
While holding down the FUNCTION button, press either
PIANO ( b) or HARPSICHORD (#) enough times to obtain
the amount of transposition you wish.

With each press, the sound is raised by 1 semitone.
(Max. of 5 semitones.)

With each press, the sound is lowered by 1 semitone.

Playing a piece in some other key with
the fingering of C
You need to specify which note you wish to sound when the
C key (do in the key of C) is pressed. Hold down the
FUNCTION button while you press the keynote for the key
you wish to transpose to (using the C-B keys in the upper-
most of the keyboard). For example, to play an E major piece
in the key of C major, you would hold down the FUNCTION
button while you press E (mi).

To return to the key of C, press PIANO ( b) and HARPSI-

The indicator on the FUNCTION button will remain lit
while transposition is in effect.

To cancel transposition, press the FUNCTION button
again, and confirm that its indicator has gone out.
* Once you have set the transposition, all you need to do to
obtain the same transposition the next time is to press the
FUNCTION button.
* If you have used the Key Transpose feature to raise the
pitch (by 1 to 5 semitones), the keyboards 5 highest keys
(at the far right) will sound one octave lower than normal
when playing organ or string sounds.
Pedal Functions
The specialized stand comes equipped with 3 pedals. The
right one is the Damper pedal, the middle one is the
Sostenuto pedal, and the left one acts as the Soft pedal.

Damper Pedal
While the Damper Pedal is depressed, notes that
have been played will continue to sound even after
your fingers have been removed from those keys.
2
Sostenuto Pedal
This pedal is used to sustain only the sound of those
keys that are pressed at the very moment the pedal is
depressed. Notes played afterwards are not effected.
3
Soft Pedal
When depressed, you obtain a softer sound.
Key Touch Function
This instrument allows you to select one of three touch
settings. These settings determine how the keyboard will
respond to certain playing dynamics. Choose the setting
which is most comfortable.
