ep-760 Performance
Transposing the keyboard (Transpose)
By using the Transpose function, you can transpose your performance without changing the notes you play. For example,
even if the song is in a difficult key with numerous sharps ( ) or flats ( ), you can transpose it to a key that is easier for you
to play.
When accompanying a vocalist, you can easily transpose the pitch to a range that is comfortable for the singer, while still
playing the notes as written (i.e., with the same fingering positions).
A Hold down the [Transpose] button, and press a
note to indicate the tonic of the key to which
you want to transpose.
The buttons indicator will light, and the keyboard will
be transposed.
When you hold down the [Transpose] button, the currently
specified value will be displayed.
You can change the transposition interval by holding
down [Transpose] and pressing the [+] or [] button.
If you hold down the [Transpose] button and press the
[+] and [] buttons simultaneously, the setting will re-
turn to the original value (0).
This can be set in a range of 6~0~5 (semitone steps).
For example, if you want the E pitch to sound when
you play the C key, hold down the [Transpose] button
and press the E key.
Counting from C as a reference point, one moves up
four keys, including the black keys, to reach E, thus 4
appears in the display.
When the transpose value is set to 0, the buttons in-
dicator will remain dark even if you press the [Trans-
pose] button.
To cancel the transpose function, press the [Transpose]
button, extinguishing its indicator.
When you press the [Transpose] button once again,
getting its indicator to light, the keyboard will be trans-
posed to the note you specified here.
This setting returns to the original value (0) when you turn
off the power.
