Transpose and Pitch Controls

There are two pitch-related controls on the Electone: Transpose and Pitch. Transpose allows you to
change the key of the instrument and Pitch lets you finely adjust the tuning. These features make it
easy to change the key of a song to accommodate a vocalist’s range or to precisely match the tuning of
another instrument.
