Selecting & Playing Voices

Owner’s Manual

The instrument’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or 
down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily 
match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you 
set the transposition amount to “5,” playing a C key produces a pitch of F. In this way, you can play 
a song as though it were in C major, and the instrument will transpose it to F major.

Use the 

 and 

 button while holding the 

button to transpose down or up as required.

The amount of transposition appears on the LED display 
while the 

 button is held. The default transpose 

setting is “0.”

The 

 button indicator remains lit when a transpose setting other than “0” 

is selected. If a value other than “0” is selected, the 

 button can be 

switched the transpose function ON or OFF at any time.
