does not play. This is also called the Full key-
board mode.
By default, turning off the Split mode automati-
cally selects the Full chord scanning mode (see
above). In this mode, chords are detected over the
full keyboard range. You must always play three
or more notes to let the arranger recognize a
chord (see "Chord Recognition" on page 258).
By keeping this button pressed for about one second, the
Split Point window appears. When there, play the new split point
on the keyboard.
Transpose Section
Use these buttons to transpose the Sounds.
UPPER OCTAVE
Use these buttons to transpose the Upper tracks in steps of one
whole octave (12 semitones; max ±3 octaves). The octave trans-
position value is always shown (in octaves) next to the Sound's
name.
Press both buttons together, to reset the Octave Transpose to the
saved value.

+
Raises the selected track by one octave.
You can jump to the Style Play > Mixer/Tuning > Tuning
page by keeping SHIFT pressed and pressing one of the UPPER
OCTAVE buttons. Hint: Go to the Tuning page to separately
transpose each track.
TRANSPOSE
These buttons transpose the whole instrument in steps of one
semitone (Master Transpose). The transpose value is usually
shown in the page header.
Press both buttons together, to reset the Master Transpose to zero.
Note: You can also transpose MP3 files. Keep in mind, however,
that transposition always remains inside the range -5...+6 semi-
tones. This range is enough to cover all keys, but allows to avoid
excessive audio degradation. Any further transposing will be
reversed to fit the range. So, you might see a +7 transpose value
(Just Fifth Up) shown in the display, but the MP3 will actually play
5 semitones lower (Just Fourth Down).
Lowers the Master Transpose in steps of one
semitone.
Raises the Master Transpose in steps of one semi-
tone.
You can jump to the Global > Tuning > Transpose Con-
trol page by keeping SHIFT pressed, and pressing one of the
TRANSPOSE buttons.
