Transposing the Keyboard

Transpose lets you raise and lower the overall key of the
keyboard in semitone units. If you want to play an
accompaniment for a vocalist who sings in a key that's
different from the keyboard, for example, simply use
transpose to change the key of the keyboard.
To transpose the keyboard
1.

• The keyboard can be transposed within a range of –24 (two
octave downwards) to +24 (two octave upwards).
• The transpose setting also affects playback from song
memory and Auto Accompaniment.
• The allowable pitch range you can transpose within depends
on the tone you are using. If a transpose operation causes a
note to be outside of the pitch range for the tone being used,
the keyboard automatically plays the same note in the
nearest octave that falls within the pitch range of the tone you
are using.

sensitivity to the "2" setting.
• When you select "oFF", the tone does not change
regardless of how much pressure you apply to the
keyboard.
• Touch response not only affects the keyboard's internal
sound source, it also is output as MIDI data.
• Song Memory playback, accompaniment, and external MIDI
note data do not affect the touch response setting.
