Transposition
Your digital piano’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 this instrument will transpose it to F major.
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] buttons, press one of
the F
