Transposing the Key of the Keyboard 
 
(Transpose)
 
By using the “Transpose function,” you can transpose your performance 
without changing the notes you play. For example, even if the song is in a 
difficult key with numerous sharps (
) or flats (
), you can transpose it to 
a key that is easier for you to play.
When accompanying a vocalist, you can easily transpose the pitch to a range 
that is comfortable for the singer, while still playing the notes as written (i.e., 
with the same fingering positions).

Continue to hold down the [Transpose] button, and press a note 
to indicate the tonic of the key to which you want to transpose.
 
The button’s indicator will light, and the keyboard will be transposed.
You can also transpose by holding down the [Transpose] button and pressing 
the [+] or [-] button.
If you hold down the [Transpose] button and press the [+] and [-] buttons 
simultaneously, the setting will return to the original value (0).
This can be set in a range of -6–0–5 (semitone steps).
For example, if you want the E pitch to sound when you play the C key, hold 
down the [Transpose] button and press the E key.
Counting from C as a reference point, one moves up four keys, including the 
black keys, to reach E, thus “4” appears in the display.

When the transpose value is set to “0,” the button’s indicator will remain dark 
even if you press the [Transpose] button.
To cancel the transpose function, press the [Transpose] button, extinguishing 
its indicator.
When you press the [Transpose] button once again, getting its indicator to 
light, the keyboard will be transposed to the note you specified here.
