Transposition

The YDP-123’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or

down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six semitones, and lets 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 key C produces pitch F. In this way,

you can play a song as though it were in C major, and the YDP-123 will transpose it to the key of F.

While holding down the A-1 andC



0 keys, press one of the F



2–F



3 keys to set the

desired amount of transposition.

Pressing the C3 key produces normal keyboard pitch. Pressing the key to the left of C3

(=B2) transposes the pitch of the keyboard down a semitone, the next key to the left

(=B



2) transposes down a whole tone (two semitones), etc., down to the F



2 key, which

transposes down six semitones. Upward transposition is accomplished in the same way

using the keys to the right of C3, up to F



3, which transposes up six semitones.
