Selecting and Playing a Tone

The transpose feature lets you raise or lower the overall
tuning of the keyboard in semitone steps. You can use this
feature to adjust keyboard tuning to a key that better matches
a vocalist, another musical instrument, etc.

when a keyboard key is pressed is also shifted in
accordance with the transpose setting.
You can use octave shift to individually change the octave of
the UPPER 1, UPPER 2, and LOWER parts. You can use
