The Transposer
The two Transpose Buttons on your instrument have several functions. When the Main
Display is displayed on the TFT screen (Overview screen), they have the normal
Transpose function.
The Transposer allows you to increase the tuning of the instrument by six semi-tone steps or to decrease it by five
semitone steps. ‘Officially’, this function can be used to adapt the tuning to singers who have problems reaching high
or low notes. ‘Unofficially’ this is an easy way to ‘avoid’ the black notes and play songs in easy keys (the Key of C for
example) and then transpose the instrument to match the original key! Genius.
Naturally the Left button decreases the tuning by one semi tone while the Right button increases the tuning by one
semi tone. The centre button marked ‘Normal’ allows you to quickly reset the tuning back to C (normal position).
The current setting of the Transposer is indicated in the Main Display to the Far Right (near the Accompaniment Over -
view).
PLEASE NOTE: As previously mentioned, the Transposer has more than one function. When navigating
through the TFT Display pages, if there is a Drop Down menu for example, you can use the Transposer to
move up and down the data lists to select the desired setting. To do this, just ‘Press on a line in the Drop
Down menu, then use the ‘Left’ Transpose Button to move ‘Down’ the list or the ‘Right Transpose Button to
move ‘Up’ the list.
Also, if there are ‘Data Value’ boxes where the value can be changed, you can also use the Transpose buttons
to increase or decrease the value of the data box. To do this, simply ‘Press’ the Data Value Box, it will high-
light in Red. Then use the ‘Left’ Transpose Button to decrease the value or the ‘Right Transpose Button to
increase the value.
Data Storeage / Input
CD/DVD & Blu-Ray Drive
All new WERSI OAS Instruments (Summer 2010 onwards) are equipped with a new high speed CD/DVD-writer
combo drive. This allows loading of data as well as burning your own Audio CD’s.
The new CD/DVD drive is even more advanced now thanks to the implementation of the new Blu-Ray standard. A new
innovation for future development (High quality video / audio help tutorials, whole concert playback for example).
USB Bay
On all new instruments, the old ‘Floppy Disc drive’ has been replaced by a ‘USB Bay’. The new USB bay features four
USB ports to connect external hard drives, memory sticks and such devices. The USB bay conforms to the USB 2.0
standard for fast data transfer.
Floppy Disc Drive (Older Instruments)
The Floppy Disc drive allows small amounts of data to be stored or saved. The Floppy Disc drive can be replaced with
a new USB hub at any time. Contact your WERSI Direct Ltd to purchase a replacement USB bay.
