P-120/P-120S

Transposition

Brilliance

For a brighter or “sharper” tone, slide the control towards the

BRIGHT position. For a “rounder” more mellow tone, slide the control
towards the MELLOW position.

• When the BRILLIANCE is set to BRIGHT, the overall sound will be slightly

louder. If the MASTER VOLUME is set at a high level the sound may
become distorted. If so, lower the MASTER VOLUME level.

This control can be used to change the tonality or “timbre” of the sound output.

The control range is from MELLOW to BRIGHT.

NOTE

Use the [–/NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] button while holding the [TRANS-

POSE] button to transpose down or up as required. The transposition
range is from “–12” (down one octave) through “0” (normal pitch) to
“12” (up one octave). The amount of transposition appears on the LED
display while the [TRANSPOSE] button is held. The default transpose
setting is “0”.

The [TRANSPOSE] button indicator remains lit when a transpose

setting other than “0” is selected. Every time the [TRANSPOSE] button
is pressed after that switches the transpose ON/OFF.

• Notes below and above the A-1 … C7 range of the P-120/P-120S sound

one octave higher and lower, respectively.

The P-120/P-120S’s TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch

of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12
semitones (i.e. a maximum of one octave up or down). “Transposing” the pitch of
the P-120/P-120S keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you
can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instru-
mentalist.
