Description

Transposing the Pitch in Semitones

You can shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or
down in semitone in order to facilitate playing in diffi-
cult key signatures, or to easily match the pitch of the
keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments.
For example, if "+5" is selected, playing key C pro-
duces pitch F, letting you play a song of F major as
though it were in C major.
Setting range: -6 – 0 – +6
To transpose the pitch down:
While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION],
press the F6 key to decrease by 1 semitone.
To transpose the pitch up:
While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION],
press the G6 key to increase by 1 semitone.
To restore the original pitch:
While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION],
press the F#6 key.
