The Pedals; Trasposition - Viscount Allegro Operating Manual

The Allegro has three pedals which reproduce expressive effects similar to those obtained with
the pedals of an acoustic grand piano. The stand has three pedals: the one on the right is the
DAMPER, the one in the middle the SUSTAIN and the one on the left the SOFT pedal.

The Allegro's TRANSPOSE function allows the pitch of the whole keyboard to be moved up or
down in intervals of one semitone by a maximum of +/-12 semitones. Transposing the keyboard
makes it easier to play in difficult keys and simplifies accompanying a singer or another
instrumentalist. Transposition is carried out using the [TRANSPOSE] buttons and keys C5 to C7.

7. TRASPOSITION

[SOFT] pedal.
The [SOFT] pedal is pressed to reduce
the volume and to slightly modify the timbre
of the notes played.
[SUSTAIN] pedal.
The [SUSTAIN] pedal allows the user to
sustain the notes played for as long as the
pedal is kept pressed, while the notes played
after the pedal was pressed will not be
sustained. This makes it possible to sustain
a chord, for example, while the other notes
are played staccato.
[DAMPER] pedal.
This pedal works like the corresponding
pedal of an acoustic piano; when it is
pressed, all the notes played will be
sustained for a longer time. When the pedal
is released, the notes will be damped
immediately.
1. Press the [TRANSPOSE] button and keep
it pressed for at least two seconds. The LED
will begin to flash.
2. Press a key between C5 and C7,
depending on the amount of the transposition
required. When
keyboard's normal pitch is selected. At this
point the LED will switch off and the system
will exit from the TRANSPOSE function. If
the key on the left of C6 (i.e. B5) is pressed,
the key is shifted by one semitone, and so on
down to key C5, which provides a downward
transposition of 12 semitones.
