The Transpose function allows the pitch of the ES520 digital piano’s keyboard to be raised or lowered in semi-tone
intervals. This is particularly useful when accompanying instruments tuned for different keys, or when a song learned
in one key must be played in another key.
* Changes are applied to all built-in sounds.
* Any changes made by this operation will remain until the power is turned off.
Preferred settings can be stored in a Registration memory or Startup Setting. Please refer to page 37 and 58 for more information.
Adjusting the Key Transpose value: Method 1
Press the TRANSPOSE button, then press the or VALUE
buttons to adjust the key transpose value.
The LED indicator for the TRANSPOSE button will turn on to
indicate that the transpose function is in use, and the key
transpose value will briefly be shown in the display.
* The keyboard pitch can be raised or lowered by up to 12 semi-tones.
* To reset the key transpose value to 0, press and hold the TRANSPOSE
button, then press the and VALUE buttons simultaneously.

the range of C3 to C5 to specify the value between -12 and +12.

transpose value will briefly be shown in the display.
Turning Key Transpose on/off
Press the TRANSPOSE button to turn the key transpose function on/off.
* The specified key transpose setting will be retained even after the key
transpose function is turned off. This allows the key transpose function
to be turned on and off freely, without the need to adjust the value
each time.
* The specified key transpose setting will return to the default value of 0
after the power is turned off.
* Preferred key transpose settings can be stored to a Registration
memory for convenient recall. Please refer to page 37 for more
