YDP-223

   Selecting & Playing Voices

The YDP-223’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 key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play a 
song as though it were in C major, and the YDP-223 will transpose it to the key of F.

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. Every time the

 button is pressed after that switches the 

transpose function ON or OFF.
