The Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals to
facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a
singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to “+5,” playing a C key actually pro-
duces a pitch of F. In this way, you can play a song as though it were in C major, and the instrument will transpose it
to the key of F.
Setting the amount of transposition
While holding down the [DEMO] button, press and hold the [METRONOME
ON/OFF] button, then press one of the F#2 – F#3 keys to set the desired
amount of transposition.
Setting range:
F#2 (-6 semitones) – C3 (normal pitch) –
F#3 (+6 semitones)
To transpose the pitch down (in semitone steps)
While holding down the [DEMO] button, press and hold the [METRONOME ON/
OFF] button, then press any key between F#2 and B2.
To transpose the pitch up (in semitone steps)
While holding down the [DEMO] button, press and hold the [METRONOME ON/
OFF] button, then press any key between C#3 and F#3.
To restore the normal pitch
While holding down the [DEMO] button, press and hold the [METRONOME ON/
OFF] button, then press the C3 key.
You can fine tune the pitch of the entire instrument. This function is useful when you play the instrument along
with other instruments or CD music.
Setting the Pitch
Hz (Hertz):
This unit of measurement refers to the fre-
quency of a sound and represents the
number of times a sound wave vibrates in
a second.
Setting range: 427.0 – 453.0 Hz
Default setting: A3 = 440Hz.
To lower or raise the pitch (in steps of roughly 1.0 Hz):
While holding down the [DEMO] button, press and hold the [METRONOME ON/
OFF] button, then press G3 (to lower) or B3 (to raise).
To lower or raise the pitch (in steps of roughly 0.2 Hz):
While holding down the [DEMO] button, press and hold the [METRONOME ON/
OFF] button, then press G#3 (to lower) or A#3 (to raise).
To restore standard pitch:
While holding down the [DEMO] button, press and hold the [METRONOME ON/
OFF] button, then press C3.
