6) Transpose
The transpose function lets you raise or lower the piano’s key in half steps. This is especially useful when you have
learned a song in one key and have to play it in another key. The transpose feature allows you to play the song in
the original key, but hear it in another key.
Step 1
While holding down the TRANSPOSE button, use the keys to specify a transpose value (between -12 and
+12 (two octaves)).
Notes will be transposed according to the set transpose value when the LED indicator for the TRANSPOSE button
is on. The current transpose value is displayed in the display while the TRANSPOSE button is held down.
The default setting is C major.
The “C” key at the middle of the keyboard corresponds to
the value 0.
The value is displayed in the second line on the display.
Step 2
Transpose can be turned on or off by pressing the TRANSPOSE button.
Transpose is active when the LED indicator is on, and the notes are transposed according to the set transpose
value.
The LED indicator will not turn on when the set value is 0.
Notes can also be transposed by pressing the VALUE buttons while holding down the TRANSPOSE button.
Hold down the button.
Hold down the button.
