Chapter 3. Versatile Performance Functions
Changing the Keyboard Settings
Changing the Pitch in One-octave Steps
(OCTAVE [DOWN] [UP])
Octave Shift is a function that changes the pitch of the keyboard in
steps of an octave.
If you're using your right hand to play a low-pitched part, such as a
bass line, you'll find it easier to play if you shift the keyboard down
one or two octaves.
Press OCTAVE [DOWN] or [UP].
1.
fig.disp-octvshift.eps
Pressing [DOWN] will lower the pitch by one octave, and
pressing [UP] will raise the pitch by one octave.
You can change the pitch as much as three octaves down (-3) or
three octaves up (+3).
A setting window will open when you press one of these buttons,
and will close shortly after you release the button.
When set to any value other than "0," either OCTAVE [DOWN]
or [UP] will light.
By pressing OCTAVE [DOWN] and [UP] simultaneously you can
reset the value to "0."
In Patch mode or Piano mode, the octave shift setting is
maintained even if you switch patches.
In Patch mode or Piano mode, this setting cannot be saved. The
value will be reset to "0" when you power up the JUNO-STAGE.
In Performance mode or MIDI controller mode you can specify an
Octave Shift setting for each part.
