This line shows the current operating mode, transposition and
recognized chord.

name (in semitones)
Operating mode name
Name of the current operating mode.
Master Transpose
Master Transpose value in semitones. This value can be changed
using the TRANSPOSE buttons on the control panel.
Note: You can also transpose MP3 files. Keep in mind, however,
that transposition is limited to the range -6...+5 semitones. This
range is enough to cover all keys, but allows to avoid excessive audio
degradation. Any further transposing will have no effect. So, you
may see a +7 transpose value shown in the display, but the MP3
will still be limited to +5 semitones.
Note: Transpose may be automatically changed when selecting a
different Performance. It may also be changed when loading a
Standard MIDI File generated with an instrument of the Korg Pa
series.
To avoid transposing, "lock" the Master Transpose parameter in the
Global (see "General Controls: Lock" on page 218), then write the
Global to memory (see "Write Global - Global Setup dialog box"
on page 231).
