Transpose and Octave Shift are available when a song is playing. Octave Shift affects only the notes you play "live"
on the keyboard, not the music playing from the song file. Transpose can be applied separately to the keyboard sound
and the song sounds. This lets you play the keyboard in your preferred key along with a song recorded in a different (or
more difficult) key. Use the front panel's dedicated TRANSPOSE buttons to affect the keyboard sound. Touch the Song
Transpose buttons to affect the song data.
The Song Transpose option is available only for the song data in Standard MIDI file.
