Transposing the keyboard in semitone
steps (Transpose)
Transpose changes keyboard pitch in units of semitones (-5–
+6 semitones).
This function is useful when you play transposed instru-
ments such as trumpet or clarinet following a printed score.
<Procedure>
❶
Press [TRANSPOSE] to light indicator.
This turns Transpose on.
❷
While holding down [TRANSPOSE], press [+OCT] or
[-OCT] to transpose the keyboard.
Pressing [+OCT] once while holding down [TRANSPOSE]
will raise the keyboard one semitone. Pressing [-OCT] once
while holding down [TRANSPOSE] will lower the keyboard
one semitone.
The specified Transpose setting will be added to the Octave
Shift value. For example, if you hold down [TRANSPOSE]
and press [+OCT] once to raise the keyboard a semitone, the
display will indicate “CENTER:C#4.” So when C4 is pressed,
the C#4 note will sound.
❸
To turn off Transpose, press [TRANSPOSE] once again
so that its indicator goes off.
The Transpose setting you make will be maintained.
✳
The Transpose setting you make here will also change
the Transpose Value parameter (SYSTEM/Setup/
Setup).
✳
The setting you make will be maintained even if you
select a different Patch, Performance or Rhythm Set, or
turn the power off.
