Changing the Song to a Key that's Comfortable for Singing
(KEY CONTROL)
The "Key Control" function lets you play back a song at a different key. This is convenient when you're
singing along with the song, since you can shift the playback to a key that's comfortable for the range
of your voice.

You can control the key of not only an internal song or SMF music files, but also the sound from a
music CD, portable audio player, or DVD player. This is convenient when you/re singing along with a
music CD.
