Transposing The Key Of The Keyboard ([Transpose] Button) - Roland RD-700GX Owner's Manual

Transposing the Key of the Keyboard ([TRANSPOSE] Button)

You can transpose performances without changing the keys you are playing, as well as
change the pitch by an octave. This feature is called "Transpose."
This is a convenient feature to use when you want to match the pitch of the keyboard
performance to a vocalist's pitch, or perform using the printed music for trumpets or other
transposed instruments.
You can adjust the transpose setting in semitone steps over a range of -48–0–+48
relative to C4.
