6.2 Transposition
The sounds produced by the EG2080 can be transposed up or
down by half-tones (key by key). This is useful, for example if
you want to play a piece in a key that is easier to play because
it has few or no accidentals at all (e.g. C major), but intend the
piece is to sound in a difficult key with lots of accidentals (e.g. D
flat major).

you want to play a piece in a key that is easier to play because
it has few or no accidentals at all (e.g. C major), but intend the
piece is to sound in a difficult key with lots of accidentals (e.g. D
flat major).
Example: D flat major has five flats (accidentals). In this key you
would have to play a lot of black keys. However, if you transpose
the sounds up by one half-tone, you can easily play the piece on
the white keys (C major).

In our example the two sounds GRAND PIANO 1 and STRINGS
are being used in layer mode. Internally, GRAND PIANO 1 is #1,
STRINGS is #11. The sound with the lower number is addressed
internally as voice #1 (here: GRAND PIANO 1), the sound with
