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 of 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) and that one of the PATCH buttons is selected (LED lit).
2.
Press and Hold the TRANSPOSE button.
3.
While continuing to hold the TRANSPOSE button, press the UP button once. You have now
transposed the entire instrument up one half-step.
4.
Press a "C" note on the keyboard. You will hear the note "C#" above it.
5.
Now Press and Hold the TRANSPOSE button and press the DOWN button. The instrument is
now back to concert pitch.
6.
While continuing to hold the TRANSPOSE button, press the DOWN button once. You have
now transposed the entire instrument down one half-step.
7.
Press a "C" note on the keyboard. You will hear the note "B" below it.
6.
To return the instrument to concert pitch, Press and Hold the TRANSPOSE button and press
the DOWN button until the LEDs of both TRANSPOSE buttons are "OFF" (not lit).
NOTE: If you Save a Backup File with the instrument transposed using TRANSPOSE, the transposition
setting will be Recorded. If you Load the Backup File to the instrument, the transposition setting will load
along with the rest of the information contained in the Setup. For more information about Backup Files,
