Transposing A Song; Adjusting The Pitch Of Audio Cds - Yamaha Mark III User Manual

Transposing a Song

Playback can be transposed up or down by up to
two octaves. This is useful, for example, when
you want to sing along (karaoke) in a different
key from the original recording.
Note: This function cannot be used to transpose
songs from external devices connected to the
AUX IN connector.
Transposition changes remain in effect until
recording is started, the disk is ejected, or the
Disklavier is turned off.
