Transposing (same fingering, different
notes)
You can have the C-180 sound in a different key while
still playing the same notes on the keyboard. That
way, even songs originally written in a difficult key
with many
(sharps) or
(flats) (i.e. many black keys),
can be played in a more convenient way. This is espe-
cially useful when you are used to playing a given
song in one key, while someone else wants you to play
it in another key: just change the Transpose setting
and you’re there.
The transposition remains in effect until you change it
or until you switch off the C-180.

POSE] button while pressing a C key. The TRANS-
POSE indicator goes dark.
Example: playing in C but sounding in E
If you want the E pitch to sound whenever you play a
C key, hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and
press an E key.
Note: The transposition only applies to the notes you play
on the C-180’s keyboard. It does not apply to note messages
received via the MIDI IN connector, or the notes played by
the Recorder.
