Performing
“Transpose” means to shift the pitches produced by the keyboard.
The Transpose function makes it easy to do the following.
• The pitch of your accompaniment can be adjusted to a singer’s vocal range without changing your
fingering (i.e., without changing the keys you play).
• A song written in a difficult key with numerous sharps ( ) or flats ( ) can be performed in a key that’s
easier for you to play.
1.
Hold down the [Transpose] button and play the key that’s the tonic of
the key into which you want to transpose.
The current transposition setting is shown while you hold down the [Transpose]
button.
You can also change the transposition setting by using the [-] or [+]
buttons while holding down the [Transpose] button.
If a setting other than 0 is selected, the [Transpose] button will be lit.
To return to the original value (0), hold down the [Transpose] button and press both of the [-] or [+]
buttons simultaneously.
You can use the [Transpose] button to turn the Transpose function on/off (if the transposition
setting is other than “0”).
The HP307 allows you to transpose both the keyboard and the song, or just the keyboard, or just the
*
keyboard.
Example: Use C major fingering to play a song written in E major
1.
Hold down the [Transpose] button and press the E note (the tonic note for the key of E major).
Counting from C as a reference point, the tonic note for the key of E major is four chromatic steps higher, so the display
indicates “+4.”

The transposition value will return to “0” when you switch songs or turn off the power.
