3. Section Transpose
Press the PAGE UP button to pass to the Section Transpose function.
This function is useful for “octave shifting” when using a Split or Layer
Preset. An octave shift is obtained by setting the transpose value to – 12
(one octave lower than normal) or +12 (one octave higher than normal).
A maximum Transposition of + 24 or – 24 semitones (2 octaves) can be
obtained.
A section transpose setting affects the individual Sound Programs of the
current Preset, not the instrument as a whole (as with the Transpose
buttons).
The status of the Section Transpose setting in this example is shown as
follows:
3 SECT. TRANSP.
0 C = C
The pitch of the currently displayed sound can be transposed using the
DATA + or – buttons. The display example below shows a section
transpose setting of one semitone above standard pitch, indicated by the
note symbols C=C#.
3 SECT. TRANSP.
1 C = C#
Press the LAYER button (LED on) followed by Page Up to activate the
Layer screen (identified by the letter “L”).
3L SECT. TRANSP.
0 C = C
Press the SPLIT button (LED on) followed by Page Up to activate the Split
screen (identified by the letter “S”).
3S SECT. TRANSP.
0 C = C
NOTE: When you pass directly from Layer to Split situations (or vice-
versa), there is no need to press the Page Up button to see the relative
display.
To raise or lower the pitch by one semitone steps, press the DATA + or
DATA – buttons repeatedly until you obtain the desired pitch change.
Reset Section Transpose
You can reset the pitch of the displayed sound to the standard pitch (C=C)
by pressing both TRANSPOSE # and
b
buttons together.
Note: the same results are obtained
if you use the panel Transpose b/#
buttons, but only if you are still in the
Section Transpose operating mode.
