Special Features
CHANGING KEYS
The keyboard automatically selects the
key of middle C each time you turn it on.
For added flexibility as you play, the
keyboard lets you change (transpose)
the musical key in which it plays.
Note:
You cannot change the key while
a prerecorded tune is selected or play-
ing.
1. Repeatedly press
TRANSPOSE/
TUNE/MIDI
until
00 Trans
appear
.
Note:
The number on the display is
the number of “semitones” to which
the keyboard is set, compared to its
default key. A semitone is a mea-
surement that represents the acous-
tical interval between the tones of
any two keys on the keyboard. For
example, the difference between C
and C or B and B is one semi-
tone. You can transpose the key
down 6 semitones (to an F ) and up
5 semitones (to an F) — a full
octave.
2. Within 5 seconds, press
or
+
to
lower or raise the key. Each time
you press
or
+
, the number
decreases or increases by 1 (semi-
tone).
As you raise the key,
1
is C ,
2
is D,
and so on. As you lower the key, –
1
is B, –
2
is B ,
–3
is A, and so on.
Notes
:
• The transpose setting also affects
memory playback (see “Playing
Back from Memory” on Page 29)
and auto accompaniment.
