The transpose feature lets you change the pitch, in semitone
steps. A simple operation lets you instantly change the pitch
to match that of a singer.
The transpose setting range is –12 to +12 semitones.

(10-key) [–] and [+] keys to select
the transpose setting you want.
Use the tuning feature when you need to adjust the pitch
slightly to play along with another musical instrument. Also,
some artists perform their music with slightly altered tuning.
You can use the tuning feature to adjust tuning so it exactly
matches a performance on a CD.
The tuning feature specifies the frequency of the A4 note.
You can set a frequency within the range of 415.5 to
465.9 Hz. The initial default setting is 440.0 Hz.

Performing this step causes the display to change from
“Tune” to a value that indicates the current frequency
setting as shown below. You can change the frequency
in 0.1Hz steps.
Even if you do not perform a
bq
(10-key) operation to
adjust the tuning, the current frequency setting will
appear automatically after a few seconds.
You can use the pitch bend wheel to slide the pitch of notes
smoothly upwards and downwards. This technique makes it
possible to produce effects that are similar to sounds
produced when bending notes on a saxophone or electric
guitar.
1.
While playing a note on the keyboard, rotate the
pitch bend wheel on the left of the keyboard
upwards or downwards.
The amount the note bends depends on how much you
rotate the pitch bend wheel.
Do not have the pitch bend wheel rotated as you turn
on the Digital Keyboard.
Use the following procedure to specify how much the pitch of
the note changes whenever the pitch bend wheel is rotated
upwards or downwards. You can specify a range from 0 to 12
semitones (one octave).
