Section Transpose - GEM Real Piano RP90 Owner's Manual

3. Section Transpose

Press the PAGE UP button to pass to the Section Transpose function.
This function is useful for "octave shifting" when using a Split or Layer
Preset. An octave shift is obtained by setting the transpose value to – 12
(one octave lower than normal) or +12 (one octave higher than normal).
A maximum Transposition of + 24 or – 24 semitones (2 octaves) can be
obtained.
A section transpose setting affects the individual Sound Programs of the
current Preset, not the instrument as a whole (as with the Transpose
buttons).
The status of the Section Transpose setting in this example is shown as
follows:
The pitch of the currently displayed sound can be transposed using the
DATA + or – buttons. The display example below shows a section
transpose setting of one semitone above standard pitch, indicated by the
note symbols C=C#.
Press the LAYER button (LED on) followed by Page Up to activate the
Layer screen (identified by the letter "L").
Press the SPLIT button (LED on) followed by Page Up to activate the Split
screen (identified by the letter "S").
NOTE: When you pass directly from Layer to Split situations (or vice-
versa), there is no need to press the Page Up button to see the relative
display.
To raise or lower the pitch by one semitone steps, press the DATA + or
DATA – buttons repeatedly until you obtain the desired pitch change.
Reset Section Transpose
You can reset the pitch of the displayed sound to the standard pitch (C=C)
by pressing both TRANSPOSE # and b buttons together.
