Overall Control

Transpose

The PSR-510 [TRANSPOSE] button makes it possible to shift the pitch of the PSR-510 up or down in semi-
tone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (one octave). Transposing the pitch of the PSR-510 keyboard
makes it easier to play in difficult key signatures, and you can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the
range of a singer or other instrumentalist.

ments. Tuning can be accomplished over a ±50-cent range (that's 100 cents total, or one semitone) in 33 steps.

is turned off, as long as batteries are installed or an AC adaptor is
connected.
