TRANSPOSER:

Locate parameter 02 through 04 on the parameter chart at top of the keyboard that
are clearly marked as TRANSPOSER 1, 2, and 3. Use these functions for

transposition. Why are there three TRANSPOSER functions? The answer is, there
are three zones, so there must be a control for transposition for each zone. Again,
look at the parameter chart on top of the keyboard. The number 02 refers to the
parameter number, TRANSPOSER refer to the transposition function and 1 refers to

zone #1. The same idea applies to parameter 03 and 04 except they refer to

TRANSPOSER 2 and 3 for zones 2 and 3. The TRANSPOSER function VALUES are
between 00 and 11. These numbers represent semi-tone transposition. You can

program each zone up to 11 semi-tones. However, you may only transpose up

with these parameters. Do not worry, you can transpose down with the help of the

next set of parameters called OCTAVE. Before using the OCTAVE function, you
must realize that a VALUE of 00 represents NO transposition. This is important for
having one sound across the keyboard chromatically. If on the other hand you
need to have some type of transposition, just enter the number of semi-tones you

desire.

Example.' To program a minor third up you must enter a value of 03 to get the desired result, for a major

fifth, enter a value of 07 and so on. After you complete this exercise please enter the value 00 in parameters 02,
0, and 04. In order to create a chromatic state across the keyboard you must adjust the OCTAVE parameters.

OCTAVE:

Parameters 05, 06, and 07 refer to OCTAVES 1, 2, and 3. This function controls
octave transposition within each zone,

The VALUES of these parameters are 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20,10, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05,

06, and 07. 70 being seven octaves below the natural setting of a piano and 07

being seven octave above. 60 is six octaves below, 06 being six octaves above and

so on. VALUE 00 has absolutely no transposition. To create one chromatic sound

across the keyboard, set each VALUE for parameters 05, 06, and 07 to VALUE 00.

You should now have one chromatic sound across the keyboard without any
transposition. If you have reached this point with no problems, please take a break

and play your heart out. If you have a problem, please go over each parameter.

You might have missed one or two. When you find the incorrect parameter, please

correct it, then celebrate. At this point you are half way there.
