Chapter 1 Playing the Keyboard
Transposing the Key of the Keyboard
(Key Transpose)
You can transpose the key of a performance without having to shift the
position of your fingers on the keyboard. This feature is called “Key
Transpose.”
This lets you take a song in a difficult key with lots of sharps ( ) and flats
() and play it in a key with fingering that’s easier for you. This is handy
when playing accompaniment to a song, to match what you play to the pitch
of the singer’s voice.

Hold down the [Transpose] button and press the key
corresponding to the tonic of the desired key.
The Key Transpose settings value continues to appear in the display while
the [Transpose] button is held down.
With the [Transpose] button held down, you can change the value, even by
pressing the [-] or [+] button.
The available range is -6–0–5.
When you release the [Transpose] button, you return to the previous screen.
Example: Playing a Song in the Key of E Major After Transposition
to C Major
Hold down the [Transpose] button and press the E key (since E is the tonic).
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.
