You can apply effects to each preset sound. When you turn on the power to the unit,
the effects will use the optimum settings for each preset sound.
Transpose function (Shifting the key)
In some cases, a song may be written in a difficult key (e.g., using many black keys), or
you may wish to shift the key to match another instrument or vocalist. In such cases,
you can transpose (shift the key) to use an easier fingering (without playing too many
black keys), or to use the same familiar fingering to play in a different key. This is
called the Transpose function. You can shift the key in a range of eleven semitones.
For example if you transpose upward by one semitone, playing the notes shown in the
upper score to the left will produce the pitches shown in the lower score.
• To transpose the key, press and hold down the A
#
7, B7, and C8 keys, and press a
key from F
#
2 to B3 or from C
#
3 to F3. The name of the key that you pressed will be-
come the transposed key. For example, if you wish to use the C3 key to play note
A2 (lower by three semitones), press and hold down the A
#
7, B7, and C8 keys, and
press the A2 key. If you wish to use the C3 key to play note D
#
3 (higher by three
semitones), press and hold down the A
#
7, B7, and C8 keys, and press the D
#
3 key.
To reset the Transpose function to “No Transposition (+/-0),” press and hold down the
A
#
7, B7, and C8 keys, and press the C3 key.
The default setting (when you turn on the unit) is “No Transposition.”
Pitch Control function (Tuning)
Here’s how to make fine adjustments to the pitch.
When you’re playing together with other instruments, you can use this method to fix
any slight differences in pitch between instruments.
You can adjust the tuning of the HT-10 in half-step (0.5) Hz intervals over a range of
427.5–452.5 Hz (Hertz) by using the E5 and F5 keys.
• While pressing and holding down the A
#
7, B7, and C8 keys (on the right side of the
keyboard), press the E5 key repeatedly to lower the pitch in 0.5Hz steps, or the F5
key repeatedly to raise the pitch in 0.5Hz steps.
• To reset the pitch to 440Hz, press and hold down the A
#
7, B7, and C8 keys, and
press the E5 and F5 keys simultaneously.
The default setting (when you turn on the unit) is “440Hz (A4),” unless a certified ser-
vice technician has changed the default setting to 441, 442, 443, 444, or 445Hz during
installation.
