The TOUCH setting affects all voices globally. Keep
in mind that you can set each voice to a different

(page 90).

• Selectively Transposing Keyboard/Song
These settings can be used to match both the song and your
keyboard performance to a certain key. For example, let’s
say you wish to play and sing along with a certain recorded
song. The song data is in F, but you feel most comfortable
singing in D, and you are accustomed to playing the
keyboard part in C. To match up the keys, keep the Master
Transpose setting at “0,” set the Keyboard Transpose to “2,”
and set Song Transpose to “-3.” This brings the keyboard part
up in pitch and the song data down to your comfortable
singing key.
