Transposition5.2
The sounds produced by the EG2280USB/EG8280USB can be transposed up
or down by half-tones (key by key). This is useful, for example if you want to
play a piece in a key that is easier to play because it has few or no accidentals
at all (e.g. C major), but intend the piece to sound in a difficult key with lots of
accidentals (e.g. D flat major).
Example: D flat major has five flats (accidentals). In this key you would have to
play a lot of black keys. However, if you transpose the sounds up by one half-tone,
you can easily play the piece on the white keys (C major). It can be helpful to
transpose the keyboard by an octave (12 halftones), for example to play low notes
in the middle register where they can be played more comfortably.
Press and hold the TRANSPOSE button and use the -/NO and +/YES buttons 1)
in the VALUE/SONG section to adjust the transposition value of your choice in
half-tone steps.

The display reads:
0: No transposition (default setting)
1 . .. 12: Keyboard is transposed up by the number of
half-tones selected.
-1 . .. -12: Keyboard is transposed down by the number of
half-tones selected.
Release the TRANSPOSE button when the desired value has been selected.2)
The LED above the TRANSPOSE button lights up when the transposition
feature is active, i.e. when a value other than zero has been set.
If a transposition interval has already been set, you can enable/disable
the transposition function using the TRANSPOSE button.
Layer mode settings5.3
In layer mode you can effect additional settings for advanced playing with two
sounds at the same time.
All sounds are numbered internally from 1 through 14. This order of sounds
determines which sound is addressed internally as voice #1, voice #2, etc.,
which in turn is important for making changes to the sounds selected.
In our example the two sounds GRAND 1 and STRINGS are being used in layer
mode. Internally, GRAND 1 is #1, STRINGS is #11. The sound with the lower
number is addressed internally as voice #1 (here: GRAND 1), the sound with the
higher number as voice #2 (here: STRINGS).
Please note the order of voices used in the sound combination selected,
in order to understand which settings apply to which voice in the
examples below.
A layer combination consisting of two sounds must be set up before you
can adjust the following functions (see chapter 4.1).
