Keyboard
Transpose Shifts the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in
semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key
signatures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the
keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments.
For example, if you set this parameter to “5,” playing
key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play the
F major song as if it were in C major.
NOTE
Your keyboard performance data will be transmitted with the
transposed note numbers while MIDI note numbers received
from an external MIDI device or computer will not be affected
by the transpose setting here.

Half Pedal Point The Half-pedal function allows you to use half-damper
techniques, in which the damper is pressed
somewhere between all the way down and all the way
up. In this half-damper state (on a real piano), the
damper felts only partially mute the strings. This
parameter determines the point to which you must
depress the right pedal to apply the half-pedal effect.
The larger the value, the deeper you need to press the
pedal for the half-pedal effect.

high volume.
OFF (Fixed)
The volume level will be the same

Master Tune Fine-tunes the pitch of the entire instrument in 0.2 Hz
steps. This lets you accurately match the keyboard
pitch to that of other instruments or music on a music
player, etc.
NOTE
The hundreds digit is omitted for the value shown in the
display (e.g., “40.2” stands for 440.2 Hz).
