Owner’s Manual
You can shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitones to facilitate playing in difficult key
signatures and match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example,
if “+5” is selected, playing the key C produces a pitch of F, letting you play a song of F major as though it
were in C major. The transposition setting affects not only the pitch of the keyboard but also the pitch of
the MIDI Song (page 31) and Audio Song (page 31).
To transpose the pitch down:
While holding down [FUNCTION], press a key between F
#
2 (-6) and B2 (-1).
To transpose the pitch up:
While holding down [FUNCTION], press a key between C
#
3 (+1) and F
#
3 (+6).
To restore the original pitch:
While holding down [FUNCTION], press the C3 key.
The specified value is shown on the display.
