NOTES
• You can adjust touch response sensitivity using the procedure under
"TOUCH CURVE" on page E-37.
• Touch response not only affects the keyboard's internal sound source, it
also is output as MIDI data.
• Memory playback, accompaniment, and external MIDI note data does
not affect the touch response setting.

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.
Press the TRANSPOSE/TUNE/MIDI button until the
transpose screen appears on the display.
