7 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. The Pitch controls are located on the TRANS. PITCH page.
To select the TRANS. PITCH page (Page 1):
Press the PITCH/MIDI button in the DISPLAY SELECT section.
The display below appears on the LCD.
