TRANSPOSE
This feature allows you to shift the musical key of the entire instrument. This is useful if you have a piece of music written in one key but
which needs to sound in another key. TRANSPOSE will step either up or down six (6) semitones or half-steps from the center position. The
TRANSPOSE feature consists of the [TRANSPOSE] Touch Button, plus the [DOWN] and [UP] Touch Buttons immediately to the right
of the [TRANSPOSE] Touch Button. The [DOWN] Touch Button allows you to transpose lower and the [UP] Touch Button allows you to
transpose higher.
