Transpose
This function allows the overall pitch of the PSR-740/640 to be transposed up
or down by a maximum of one octave in semitone increments.
• The Transpose function
cannot be applied when a
drum kit is the selected voice
(page 31).
• Press the [+/YES] and [-/NO]
buttons simultaneously to
instantly reset the transpose
value to “0.”
• The new TRANSPOSE value
will take effect from the next
key played.
• Minus values can be entered
by using the number buttons
while holding the [-/NO]
button.
1
Press the [TRANSPOSE] button.
2
Set the transposition.
Use the data dial, the [+/YES] button, the [-/NO] button or the number buttons
[1]-[0].
Pitch Bend Wheel
Use the PSR-740/640 pitch bend wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away
from you) or down (roll the wheel toward you) while playing the keyboard. The
pitch bend wheel is self-centering and will automatically return to normal pitch
when released.
• The maximum pitch bend
range can be set via the
Pitch Bend Range function in
the Utility function group
(page 139).
Playing Voices
• In order to avoid accidentally
applying modulation when
you don’t intend to, set the
depth at its minimum setting.
• You can also assign other
functions to the MODULA-
TION Wheel (page 139).
The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the key-
board (R1, R2, L voices). Moving the MODULATION wheel all the way
towards yourself minimizes the depth of the effect, while rotating it away from
yourself increases it.
