either the [PIANO 1/L], [PIANO 2/M], or
[E.PIANO/H] sound selector switch to select the
desired keyboard touch.
If you select either [PIANO 1/L] or [E.PIANO/M],
the [TOUCH] switch indicator will light.

6. Changing keys (Transpose)

By changing the key (transposing), you can play a
song using easier fingering that uses fewer black keys,
or use familiar fingering to play a song at a pitch that
matches another instrument or vocalist. This is called
the Transpose function.
Hold down the [TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION]
switch, and press a key in the range of F#6–F7.
If you press any key other than C7, the [TRANS-
POSE/FUNCTION] switch indicator will light,
indicating that the pitch is transposed. The pitch of
the entire keyboard will be transposed so that the
pitch of the note you pressed will correspond to the
C7 note location. The pitch can be transposed in a
range of 11 semitones.
F#6 note C7 note
-6 semitones. The F#6 0. Normal pitch.
pitch will be sounded by
the C7 key.
C1 C2 C3 C4
The transpose setting is automatically cancelled when the
MeMO
power is turned off.
Example 1:
Raising the key of the song by a semitone
The C# pitch will now sound when you play the C
note.
Hold down the [TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION]
switch, and press the C#7 note.
If the pitch is raised by a semitone as in this
example, playing the notes shown at the left will
sound the pitches shown at the right.
Example 2:
Using G fingering to play a song in the key of Bb
The Bb pitch is a minor third (three semitones)
above G. Thus, you need to make settings so that
the D# pitch three semitones higher than C is heard
when you play the C note.
Hold down the [TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION]
switch, and press the D#7 note.
F7 note
+5 semitones. The F7
pitch will be sounded by
the C7 key.
-6 -4 -2 +1 +3
