OPERATION:

Getting around the ST-490 Plus is very simple. However, you must know certain

basic MIDI theory before it can make sense.

Transposition:

Sometimes a player may not be able to play in a certain key. At these times the

[TRANSPOSE] switch will be invaluable. For example, if you need to change from

the key of C major to the key of Eb major, you can still play the C major keys, but
what you hear would be Eb major.

To transpose the keyboard, hold the [TRANSPOSE] switch and press the desired key on the

keyboard above or below middle C. The result will be a new key change when the C major

keys are played. Your range is limited to 24 half steps up and 24 half steps down.

If there are any technical problems that relate to the ST-490 Plus only, please contact Music
Industries Corp. 800-431-6699. Best of luck!"
