ep-760 Performance
Transposing the keyboard (Transpose)
By using the “Transpose function,” you can transpose your performance without changing the notes you play. For example,
even if the song is in a difficult key with numerous sharps ( ) or flats (
), you can transpose it to a key that is easier for you
to play.
When accompanying a vocalist, you can easily transpose the pitch to a range that is comfortable for the singer, while still
playing the notes as written (i.e., with the same fingering positions).
A
Hold down the [Transpose] button, and press a
note to indicate the tonic of the key to which
you want to transpose.
The button’s indicator will light, and the keyboard will
be transposed.
When you hold down the [Transpose] button, the currently
specified value will be displayed.
You can change the transposition interval by holding
down [Transpose] and pressing the [+] or [–] button.
If you hold down the [Transpose] button and press the
[+] and [–] buttons simultaneously, the setting will re-
turn to the original value (0).
This can be set in a range of –6~0~5 (semitone steps).
For example , if you want the E pitch to sound when
you play the C key, hold down the [Transpose] button
and press the E key.
Counting from C as a reference point, one moves up
four keys, including the black keys, to reach E, thus “4”
appears in the display.
When the transpose value is set to “0”, the button’s in-
dicator will remain dark even if you press the [Trans-
pose] button.
To cancel the transpose function, press the [Transpose]
button, extinguishing its indicator.
When you press the [Transpose] button once again,
getting its indicator to light, the keyboard will be trans-
posed to the note you specified here.
This setting returns to the original value (0) when you turn
off the power.
